Manfrotto 420NSB Combi Boom Stand Aluminium 392cm

The Manfrotto 420NSB is a professional combi boom stand that delivers exceptional versatility and stability for studio and location lighting. Its standout feature is the integrated boom arm, which extends from 100 to 190 cm and allows precise positioning of lights, reflectors, or microphones without compromising balance. Built from lightweight yet durable aluminium, this stand supports up to 9 kg on the main column and 2 kg at full boom extension, making it ideal for a wide range of creative setups.

Advantages

The double-braced legs provide rock-solid support on uneven surfaces, while the included sandbag counterweight ensures safe operation even with heavier modifiers. The 3-section, 2-riser design offers a height range from 131 to 210 cm, giving you flexibility for everything from low-key portraits to overhead lighting. The 5/8" (16 mm) stud with 1/4" and 3/8" threads is compatible with most lighting heads and accessories, and the black finish blends seamlessly into any studio or on-location environment.
