Manfrotto MS0490C Carbon Fiber Nanopole Stand

The Manfrotto MS0490C Carbon Fiber Nanopole Stand is a 0.75 kg 5-section carbon/aluminum hybrid that folds to 50.8 cm, extends to 196.8 cm (50 cm min), and supports 1.5 kg with reverse-folding legs, 100 cm footprint, leveling leg, removable 5-section boom column, and 5/8" receiver + reversible 1/4"-20/3/8"-16 stud delivering ultra-light, carry-on-ready support for speedlights, LEDs, or mics on location or uneven terrain.

The Manfrotto MS0490C Nanopole Stand blends carbon fiber columns with an aluminum base to achieve a mere 0.75 kg while reaching 196.8 cm max height. Five twist-lock sections (25/22/19/16/13 mm) deploy smoothly, and reverse-folding rectangular legs collapse to 50.8 cm for backpack or carry-on storage. The detachable center column doubles as a handheld boom for overhead lighting or audio, while a single leveling leg adjusts 15° for hills, curbs, or furniture edges. The 5/8" baby receiver with removable dual-thread stud (1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16) ensures universal compatibility. Ideal for nature, travel, or shooters using compact COB LEDs, speedlights, or lav mics stable on a 100 cm footprint yet light enough for all-day carry.
