The Manfrotto 126CSU Black Steel Heavy Duty Stand is a rock-solid, professional location/combo stand with a massive 40 kg payload and 3.33 m maximum height. Featuring double-braced steel legs, one levelling leg, universal 28 mm Junior receiver + 16 mm baby stud, and optional wheel compatibility, it’s the go-to heavy-duty stand for large studio lights, HMI, or big softboxes indoors and outdoors.
The Manfrotto 126CSU (black chrome finish) is one of the strongest air-cushionless steel stands in the Manfrotto/Avenger range. Built entirely from chrome-plated steel with double-braced leg bracing and a wide 131 cm footprint, it delivers exceptional stability even at full 333 cm height. The standout feature is its 40 kg maximum payload (3 kg at full extension) combined with a built-in levelling leg that keeps the stand perfectly vertical on uneven terrain. The universal head type 14 offers a 28 mm Junior female receiver, 16 mm baby stud, and 3/8″ thread, making it compatible with virtually all professional lighting fixtures. Optional 109/110/110G wheel sets can be added for easy studio mobility.
