Manfrotto 012B Backlite Stand

This is perfect for getting a light down near the floor for product shots. The base spigot with the 1/4-20 thread holds my small LED securely, and removing the short column makes it even more stable.

The removable short column makes this stand perfect for getting lights low to the ground, and the spigot holds my monolight securely without any slipping. I even used it for a tabletop setup, and the base-mounting attachment worked exactly as described.

Finally got this set up for some low-angle shots and the removable short column makes it so much easier to position. The base-mounting light attachment is solid and holds my gear securely without any wobble.
