Avenger Stands
The Avenger stand range includes several product families, featuring different designs and materials depending both on the applications they are intended for and on the light type they have to support.
These supports have been designed for to be both safe and reliable.
For that reason, all materials are top quality and are tested in order to withstand extreme uses in rough weather conditions.
Assembly is made either with bolts – instead of rivets – for allowing quick and easy maintenance, or by welding or broaching, in order to ensure maximum operating reliability.
These technical solutions make these stands unique and prevent the column sections from coming out, the knobs from getting lost and allow for quick leveling of the legs.
The existing versions allow for extensions between 40cm and 610cm, with payloads between 2kg and 100kg.
Avenger Clamps
Our family of Avenger clamps stands out for supporting heavy loads and for clamping any kind of prop, be it a square or round section pipe (up to 78mm diameter), or IPE bar (up to IPE160).
For that reason, the various models are made of aluminum castings or by extruded aluminum, so that they can ensure high mechanical performance, well suited for the required use.
Avenger clamps also feature neat clamping solutions, in order to provide easy operation and quick locking.
Our range of clamps is backed up by a wide choice of accessories.
Avenger Booms, Arms, Brackets and Bars
Avenger booms, articulated arms, multi-positioning arms and adapters, when used in conjunction with stands or clamps, allow accurate positioning of lighting and effects, assuring the typical practicality, robustness and flexibility of Avenger products.
Manfrotto Stands
Manfrotto’s range of stands consists of several product families which differ in design and materials depending both on the applications they are intended for and on the light type they have to support.
These supports can be distinguished by the materials they are made of.
Our range includes products with aluminum components, which allow high wear strength and linearity in column extension.
We offer two tubing technologies: electric welded aluminum and steel.
Special attention has been paid to multiple technical solutions like pneumatic damping and levelling legs, making these stands unique.
The existing versions allow for extensions between 21cm and 585cm, with payloads between 1.5kg and 180kg.
Manfrotto Clamps
Sometimes a stand simply can’t fit on set during a shoot, so Manfrotto has developed several families of clamps to position lights and accessories practically anywhere.
The original SUPERCLAMP - world famous and widely copied - stands out for its versatility and numerous accessories, but the entire range of clamps ensures there’s always a solution to your problem, no matter the size of the object or the surface you’re clamping to.
Designed with many years of experience in the field, our clamps’ quick-action locking buttons help the operators and make their life easier.
Manfrotto Arms, Brackets and Pump Cups
Used in conjunction with stands or clamps, the range of Manfrotto articulated arms, multi positioning arms and attachments enable accurate positioning of lighting and effects.
Among the most remarkable products in this range are the double articulated arms, enabling quick positioning thanks to their quick lock knobs.
They are also renowned for being very light as well as very rigid.
The Articulated Magic Arm and the Variable Friction Arm are also outstanding, using a single convenient and fast action locking lever or knob to lock or partially lock the two arms and the two swivel studs.
When you need to hold a light, panel or accessory but the available surface is flat as a mirror, with no way to clamp to it, we still provide a solution: a complete system of plates equipped with standard pins and bushings or a suction pump cup for stunning bonds to glass surfaces.
Manfrotto Lighting Booms
Lighting booms provide the ideal unobtrusive way to position lighting and reflector equipment directly above the subject.
The incredible number and variety of flash and continuous lights used, as well as their positioning requirements, have quickly made this range one of our most comprehensive lines.
We also have a wide selection of accessories available for customizing booms and make them easier to use.
Manfrotto Autopole Systems
The ultimate adjustable lighting pole system can be used to create a background support, structure a lighting grid, or for hundreds of other studio applications.
Its unique single action cantilever locking system exerts the correct amount of pressure to assure a secure fit, wedging the protective rubber ends in place wall to wall or ceiling to floor.
The cantilever system incorporates a safety lock to prevent accidental de-tensioning or movement.
Manfrotto Background Support System
Our extremely modular background support system is reliable, simple to use and flexible enough to match most of your support needs for paper, drapable, hand-painted or canvas backgrounds, in the studio or on location.
For core mounted backgrounds the system used is based on the EXPAN chain operated drive developed by Manfrotto.
The EXPAN can be mounted on dedicated hooks which vary in shape and design depending on the number of backgrounds to be used.
If, as usually happens with canvas backgrounds, there is no central core around which to wrap the background material, Manfrotto provides a three section telescopic pole that can be attached on top of a set of two stands, making it ideal for location assignments.
Manfrotto Skytrack System
Ideal for all photo and video studios where the floor needs to be kept totally clear of power cables and lighting stands, the Sky Track System permits rapid manoeuvre and setting of suspended large lights or lights with awkwardly sized accessories like soft boxes.
It solves positioning problems even on complex sets or in studios of the most unusual dimensions, and offers considerable advantages and ease of use compared to traditional floor stands.
Manfrotto Sky Track System has a broad range of accessories to adapt your space to the ideal studio and to provide perfect compatibility with all types of lights, whether photographic, video or film.
Manfrotto Still Life Tables
Indispensable for all professional still life photographers, Manfrotto Still Life tables are made with lightweight aluminum tubing, dedicated clamps and translucent white Perspex covers for back- or front-lighting of your subject.
Their design allows continuous adjustment of the curved backdrop at different angles, making them ideal for product photography.
Full modularity makes the table easy to assemble and disassemble.
The Manfrotto Still Life line is complete with the well-known Multiclamp system.
This extremely flexible and modular system allows you to design and create all sorts of supports that can be easily set up, dismantled and reused for completely different applications. Several accessories will allow you to deal with specific problems.
Manfrotto Scrims, Flags, Mountings and Supports
You can find EVERYTHING you need for controlling lighting beams by means of Scrims, Flags, Dots & Fingers, from the famous C-Stand to the GRIP HEAD system.
The latter is designed with special arms and heads for positioning your scrim or flag exactly where you need it, even in the most difficult circumstances.
Manfrotto Butterfly Mounting and Support Systems
You can find EVERYTHING you need for controlling lighting beams by means of Butterflies (frames up to 600cm x 600cm), from dedicated overhead stands to the wide range of fold away or modular frames.
