The Manfrotto 231B Black Column Light Stand is a professional single-column studio stand with lockable wheels, a removable rolling base, and a spring-loaded sliding arm that glides smoothly from 35 cm to 250 cm, supporting up to 8 kg total (2 kg at full extension) and multiple lights via universal 1/4″ and 3/8″ top fittings – perfect for fast, precise studio positioning and easy transport.
The Manfrotto 231B is the ultimate mobile column stand for busy studios and location work. Its innovative design features a wheeled cross-base that completely detaches from the 35 mm black aluminum column for compact storage and transport, yet locks rigidly in seconds when needed. Built with a steel base and aluminum column, it safely supports 8 kg when used near minimum height and 2 kg at full extension. The top spigot offers 5/8″ (16 mm) Baby stud and socket plus both 1/4″ and 3/8″ threads for total compatibility.
