Professional Light Stand

The Manfrotto 111BSU is a three-section chrome-plated steel stand built for photographers and videographers who need reliable support for lighting fixtures or grip equipment. Its unique leveling leg locks securely on uneven ground or stairs, making it a practical choice for location work where floor surfaces are unpredictable.

Load Capacity by Height

At the minimum height the stand holds up to 55 lbs (25 kg), while at the full 12' (3.6 m) extension it supports up to 13.2 lbs (6 kg). This variable capacity is the single specification that determines whether the stand matches the weight of your specific light heads or modifiers.

Leveling Leg Benefit

The extendable, locking leveling leg replaces the need for sandbags or shims on sloped surfaces, letting you level the column quickly and keep the load centred. The black chrome finish also reduces unwanted reflections during shoots.

Questions about this item

How does the 12-foot maximum height affect the weight the stand can actually hold?

At the full 12-foot extension the stand supports up to 13.2 lbs (6 kg); lowering it allows a much heavier 55 lbs (25 kg) load.

What mounting interface does the stand use and what load does that connection limit in practice?

The stand uses a standard 5/8-inch stud; the practical limit is set by the stand structure — 13.2 lbs at full height, 55 lbs when lowered.

What floor space and clearance does the leveling leg need to set up securely?

The three-section design with an extendable, locking leveling leg requires a stable footprint wide enough for the leg to lock, suitable for uneven ground or stairs.
