Manfrotto BACKLITE POLE BLACK 5/8M+1/4W+

The Manfrotto 122B Backlite Pole is a compact, two-section black aluminium pole designed for the Backlite Stand base and for raising a small light from a low position. Its telescopic construction extends from 47 cm to 80 cm while remaining easy to carry: it closes to 47 cm and weighs only 0.32 kg. The double stud enables direct connection of compatible lighting accessories, while its 3 kg payload provides useful headroom for a small studio light, LED panel or practical fixture. It can also serve as a short handheld boom when light needs to be positioned precisely for interviews, product shots and compact studio setups.

The Manfrotto 122B Backlite Pole is a telescopic black-anodized aluminum pole that mounts directly into any 5/8" baby receiver to raise low-angle lights, LEDs, or practicals. The two-section design locks via a twist collar, extending smoothly from 47 cm to 80 cm with zero wobble. One end features a 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud, the other a 1/4"-20 threaded hole for direct fixture attachment. At just 320 g and 47 cm collapsed, it doubles as a handheld mini-boom for hair lights, eye lights, or top-down product shots. Built tough with a 3 kg payload, it’s the perfect lightweight solution for backlight stands, tabletop rigs, or portable interview kits.
