This Manfrotto 269BU is a lower and more sturdy version of the 269HBU studio tripod. This 269BU has one less telescopic section. If you don't specifically need to reach more than 7 meters, then choose this lower 269BU.
The aluminum Manfrotto 269BU Heavy Duty Stand has a maximum height of 455cm, which is enough to illuminate even larger objects from above. Of course, the stand can also be used with a camera, resulting in impressive "aerial" shots, especially if you use a wide-angle lens.
The tripod has a load capacity of 35kg. Due to its robustness, this is an excellent option for large loads, booms or, for example, a large softbox. When fully extended (455cm), the tripod can support a weight of 6.3kg, which is still sufficient for many light modifiers or lights.
Because the stand rises to a high height, there is a loop at the end of the stand for support ropes or guy wires. In addition, there are holes at the ends of the stand legs, which allow the stand to be anchored to the ground, for example with "tent poles". A high stand should always be supported when it is raised to its maximum height and there is a heavy load on the top. Especially in windy weather.
The legs of the light stand have a double-layered footrest, and one leg also has a so-called leveling foot, meaning that the length of the foot can be changed, making the stand stable even on uneven surfaces or terrain.
The Manfrotto 269 BU tripod has a standard 5/8" (16mm) studio spigot with a 3/8" male thread. It is also possible to attach almost any sopigot part to the tip of the tripod according to your needs, as well as the more robust Cine spigots (28mm)
Wheels are available as an accessory for this tripod (compatible wheels Manfrotto 103, 104, 104G).
