Manfrotto 0490C Carbon Fibre Nanopole Stand

The Carbon Nanopole Stand is Manfrotto's lightest Nano Stand ever, tailored to image makers that are looking for ways to downsize their gear and travel lighter. 

Key Features:

  • Only 750g*, Manfrotto’s lightest ever Nano Stand!
  • Perfect for portable lighting equipment
  • Useful levelling leg for uneven terrain 
  • Compact 51cm Folded Length
  • Removable carbon fibre centre column for hand held use

Weighing in at only 750g* thanks to its lightweight aluminium base and carbon fibre column the Carbon Nanopole Stand is the perfect support for small lighting equipment up to 1.5kg such as speedlights and LED lights which are commonly the kit of choice for the weight conscious creatives working in and out of the studio. 

This lightweight lighting support not only provides users with the perfect stand when shooting on the move, this product is manufactured in Italy to the highest standards providing assurance of quality craftsmanship and materials that customers can rely on. 

The compact folded length of just 51cm makes the Carbon Nanopole Stand suitable for carry-on luggage or ideal for those with very limited carrying space. It even slides neatly into the tripod pouch on the side of most camera bags to ensure the user can keep their kit compact and travel light without compromising on their lighting kit requirements.

The Carbon Nanopole Stand features a useful levelling leg, allowing the user to maintain a stable vertical lighting support even in challenging environments such as uneven ground, inner city streets or even rocky hillsides. For added safety the base also features a hook to be used with a sandbag in order to weigh it down when used outdoors. This versatile light stand features multiple attachment options including a stainless steel 16mm (5/8'') spigot with a 3/8'' thread plus a removable 1/4'' thread adapter allowing secure attachment of a wide range of lighting tools. 

The light weight characteristics of the Carbon Nanopole Stand is thanks to the removable carbon fibre centre column featuring quick release twist locks, which can also be used as a hand held boom in order to position lights exactly where they are needed.

Riley ★★★★★

I was skeptical about how sturdy a carbon fiber stand could be, but this one locks up tight and holds my light without any wobble. The twist-lock leg spread is clever and makes setup quicker than my old metal stand. Perfect for packing in a carry-on without sacrificing height.

Carter A. ★★★★★

This thing is ridiculously light—I can toss it in my carry-on without even thinking about the weight. The carbon fibre build feels solid, and the twist-lock sections are quick to set up on location.

Joseph ★★★★★

I’ve been using it for a few shoots and the twist-lock mechanism is smooth and stays tight even when I extend the pole fully. It’s noticeably lighter than my old metal stand, which makes a real difference when I’m walking between locations. The carbon fiber build feels solid without adding any extra
