Beginning in the late 1960s, Lino Manfrotto, an Italian photojournalist began designing light stands, booms, and telescopic rods. Now a standard in the professional photography and video industry, Manfrotto has become a world-wide favourite with their innovative tripods, heads and lighting support systems.

Lighting Supports

Lighting Support Covers everything from the Autopole® system to arms and brackets, grip heads, booms, sky track aerial suspension system, plates and pump cups, still life tables and background supports including the motorized Expan units		Stands Manfrotto’s range of stands consists of different product families which differ in design and materials depending both on the applications for which they are intended and on the type of light they support.
Support Accessories The Manfrotto/Avenger range is backed up by a huge selection of accessories, from stand extensions to attachment adapters.		Clamps A practical range of clamps and grips to hold lights and accessories wherever you need them, in the studio and on location - no matter what the size of the object to be supported or the surface to clamp to.
Lighting Control For better control of light from all sources you can choose from a wide selection of light modifiers - flag, stop or soften output, add or block off selected areas to achieve exactly the lighting effects you want

Camera Support

Photo Tripods Manfrotto's range of photographic tripods is split between Rapid column models, the DIGI family of tripods for "point-and-shoot" cameras; and Geared Column tripods.		Video Tripods A full range of double-tube tripods for video equipment up to full ENG, and the MDeVe family of hybrid photo/video tripods, lighter and more compact single leg tube structure of the photo tripod combined with the levelling half-ball of the video support.
Photo Heads The range of photo heads comprises ball heads, three-way heads, geared heads, pan-and-tilt or two-way heads (a crossover from the video sector, popular with users of long heavy lenses and sport optics.)		Video Heads Two-way "pan & tilt" heads are favoured for video work and are built to be used "open". Head features such as fluid cartridges keep camera movements as controlled and smooth as possible.
Monopod Monopods are ideal travel and outdoor companions, taking up little space yet giving invaluable support and better results than hand-held shooting. Favoured also by sports photographers using long, heavy lenses but needing lightning fast reactions and repositioning.		Tripod Accessories Everything you can't find elsewhere is in here: bags and straps, mid level and ground-level tripod spreaders, dollies, arms and brackets and more besides.
