3 lb clamp counterweight for stands

This Manfrotto counterweight adds three pounds of ballast to light stands, boom poles or gimbals. The clamp accepts round bars from .5 to 1.1 inches in diameter. It is aimed at photographers and videographers who need quick, secure balance adjustments in studio or on location.

Replaces makeshift sandbags or loose plates

The fixed clamp removes the need to drape bags over legs or tape weights to poles. The upgrade is worth it when you move gear frequently and want a single piece that locks on in seconds without tools. It is not for rigs that require more than three pounds of counter-mass or bars outside the stated diameter range.

Limited to .5–1.1 inch round bars

The clamp mechanism only fits cylindrical tubes within that span; flat rails, square tubing or thicker poles will not engage securely. No additional mounting hardware or adapters are included, so the bar on your stand must already fall inside the specified interval.

Questions about this item

What bar diameters does the clamp accept?

The clamp fits bars from .5 inches to 1.1 inches in diameter.

How do you attach the counterweight to a bar?

Open the clamp, slide it onto the bar within the .5 to 1.1 inch range, then tighten the mechanism until it grips firmly without play.

Does the clamping mechanism need any maintenance over time?

Keep the threads and contact surfaces clean; if the grip loosens, wipe away grit and re-tighten by hand.
