Manfrotto Additional Conterweight 2 kg

The Manfrotto 834 Counterweight is a solid-steel 4.2 lb (2 kg) add-on weight with a 3/8"-16 male thread, specifically designed to screw directly onto the factory counterweight of the Manfrotto 809 Salon 240 and 816 Salon 280 stands. It provides the extra mass needed for perfectly smooth vertical movement when using heavy studio flash heads, large softboxes, or overhead frames, preventing sudden drops and ensuring safe, controlled height adjustments.

The Manfrotto 809 or 816 Salon stands isn’t quite enough for today’s heavier lighting setups, the 834 Counterweight is the official solution. This dense, 4.2 lb steel disc simply threads onto the existing integrated weight via its 3/8"-16 male stud, instantly increasing total counterbalance mass and restoring the silky-smooth, safe vertical travel these iconic rolling stands are famous for. Essential for studios running large modifiers, multiple heads, or any load that exceeds the stock balance range.
