Manfrotto 087NW

The Manfrotto 087NW is a heavy-duty chrome steel wind-up stand designed for professional lighting, studio and production support applications.

With a maximum height of 370cm and a rated payload of 30kg, it is suited to larger lighting fixtures, modifiers, background supports and other substantial production equipment that require a strong and stable support platform. Manfrotto describes the 087NW as a three-section stand with two risers, allowing the stand to be raised and lowered using its geared wind-up mechanism.

The stand features a levelling leg, making it more practical on uneven ground or slightly irregular location surfaces. Its chrome steel construction is designed for durability, while the safety release cable system supports safer operation when raising and lowering heavier loads.

At the top of the stand, the 087NW provides universal mounting options including a 1 1/8-inch / 28mm socket, 5/8-inch / 16mm stud and 3/8-inch screw attachment. This makes it compatible with a wide range of professional lighting equipment, grip accessories and production support setups.

For hire use, the 087NW is best suited to productions that need a robust stand for heavier lighting fixtures or overhead support where a standard lightweight stand would not be appropriate. Operators should always follow the manufacturer’s safety guidance, particularly around load balancing, levelling, cable inspection and wind exposure.
