Manfrotto 5001B-1 Nano Black Light Stand

For photographers and videographers who need serious height without the bulk, the Manfrotto 5001B-1 Nano Black Light Stand delivers a rare combination: it collapses to just 48 cm yet extends to a full 190 cm. That means you can pack it into a carry-on, a backpack, or a small studio corner, and still have the reach for key lights, rim lights, or background separation. Built from aluminum, it weighs only 0.95 kg, so it won't slow you down on location. The 5-section design locks quickly and securely, and the reversible spigot adds real versatility—flip it for a 3/8" thread or use the included 1/4" adapter. With a stable 70 cm footprint and a 1.5 kg load capacity, it's ideal for speedlights, LED panels, and lightweight modifiers.

In daily use

The Nano's user-friendly design shines in fast-paced environments. Its five sections extend smoothly and lock firmly, allowing you to set up or break down in seconds. The reversible spigot is a standout feature: flip it to reveal a 3/8" thread for direct mounting of certain fixtures, or use the included 1/4" adapter for standard accessories. The stand's low minimum height of 49 cm makes it perfect for tabletop work or low-angle lighting, while the single-braced legs provide stability without adding unnecessary weight. Whether you're shooting in a cramped studio or on a windy outdoor location, the Nano holds its ground.
