Manfrotto 003MF Backlight Stand Base

The Manfrotto 003MF Backlight Stand Base is a compact, low-profile support designed for mounting lighting fixtures close to the floor or tabletop, featuring a durable steel build and a standard 5/8" female receiver for versatile studio use.

The Manfrotto 003MF Backlight Stand Base is an essential studio accessory for photographers and videographers who need to position lights extremely low to the ground. With a height of just over 3 inches, this heavy-duty base is ideal for backlighting, accent lighting, or creative low-angle illumination setups where traditional light stands are impractical.

Constructed from durable steel with a black finish, the 003MF provides excellent stability while remaining compact and easy to transport. It features a 5/8" female receiver, allowing you to add a compatible stud or extension pole for expanded mounting options. For even greater versatility, it can be paired with the optional extension kit (3095KIT), extending mounting height up to 31 inches.

Designed for fast setup, the base folds down to the width of a single bar, making it convenient for both studio and location work. Supporting loads of up to 22 lb (10 kg), it is suitable for a wide range of lighting fixtures and accessories.
