Expand your lighting rig with a robust side arm that turns a single stand into a multi-light workstation. The Manfrotto 131D features a 30 cm aluminium crossbar with dual 16 mm (5/8") spigots, each topped with a 3/8" thread, letting you mount two heads, flashes, or accessories on one stand—horizontally or vertically.
