Manfrotto 004BAC

The Manfrotto 004BAC is a full-size air-cushioned aluminum stand reaching around 12' in height, with three risers to give it a wide range of working positions from low to well overhead. The air-cushioning system controls the descent when lowering, so a mounted light comes down smoothly rather than dropping.

Rated to carry close to 20 lb, it's substantial enough for larger fixtures like Fresnels or bigger softboxes while still folding flat for transport between locations. It's a solid, general-purpose stand for productions that need real height and load capacity without stepping up to a heavy-duty cine stand.
