Compact folding studio base with braked wheels, levelling leg and 88.2 lbs capacity for stable, mobile lighting support

  • Low-profile setup at 11.1 in minimum height

Studio support for lights and cameras

The Manfrotto Small Folding Base with Braked Wheels and a single Levelling Leg provides a stable platform for lighting fixtures and accessories in studio or location work. It suits photographers and videographers who need reliable support that can be moved quickly between setups. The 1-1/8" female receptor and 5/8" spigot accept a variety of mounts for flexible rigging.

Low-profile stance with braked mobility

At a minimum height of 11.1 inches and a footprint diameter of 29.6 inches, the base keeps the centre of gravity low to resist tipping. Integrated braked wheels roll smoothly for repositioning and lock securely when the shot is set. The single levelling leg compensates for uneven floors so equipment stays level without shims.

Lightweight alloy frame rated for heavy loads

Weighing 10.6 lbs, the folding chassis is light enough for one-person transport yet rated for a maximum boom load of 88.2 lbs at full extension. Robust locking mechanisms hold the folded or deployed position without play. The compact folded form fits in equipment cases for fast deployment on location or in the studio.

Questions about this item

How do you fit the 1-1/8" female receptor and 5/8" spigot to a light stand without cross-threading?

Thread the spigot into the receptor by hand until snug, then lock the braked wheels before adding any load; the 11.1 in minimum height means the base sits low so alignment is easier.

Which part of the braked wheels or levelling leg wears first and needs checking?

The wheel brakes and the single levelling leg's adjustment mechanism take the most stress; inspect the brake engagement and leg threads before each shoot to catch wear early.

At what load does the 29.6 in footprint become unstable during a long session?

The 88.2 lbs boom-load rating is the design limit; staying below that and keeping the braked wheels locked prevents the footprint from shifting under sustained weight.
