Manfrotto Wind-Up (087NW)

The Manfrotto 087NW Wind-Up Stand is a heavy-duty studio stand built to raise large, heavy fixtures like Fresnels, softboxes, or overhead rigs well beyond what a standard C-stand can manage. Instead of manually extending each section, a geared crank system winds the column up and down smoothly, letting one person raise substantial loads without straining or losing control of the fixture on the way up.

Its all-steel construction and wide, wheeled base keep it stable under heavy top-end weight, while an internal locking mechanism holds the column securely at height once it's set. It's a mainstay in film and photo studios for hanging large lights, cyc strips, or scenic elements that need to sit high and steady above the set.
