Manfrotto BACKLITE STAND BASE W/O SPIGOT

The Manfrotto 003SPL Backlite Stand Base is a 1 kg black steel mini spider base (no column or spigot included) with a fixed 9 cm height, 15 kg payload, three rectangular folding legs, 3/8" female socket and removable 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 male tip—delivering ultra-low, rock-solid support for backlight, kicker or ground-level lights.

The Manfrotto 003SPL is the standalone base from the classic backlite stand family—perfect when you already own a column or simply need the lowest possible profile. The heavy-duty black steel spider with three rectangular legs folds flat for storage and opens to a stable footprint, while the central 3/8"-16 female socket accepts any 16 mm column or direct fixture.  Rated for 15 kg, it’s ideal for rim lights, eye lights, product table work, or macro setups in portrait studios and rental kits—pure steel durability without the pole.
