Manfrotto Black Large Foot Base

The Manfrotto 297FBASE Black Large Foot Base is a 4.4 kg steel/aluminum studio foldable base with 100 cm rectangular footprint, one leveling leg, 40 kg payload, 3/8" female socket + 5/8" (16 mm) male stud, and included braked wheels—delivering rock-solid, low-profile support for heavy lights or booms at fixed 21 cm height.

The Manfrotto 297FBASE features a black powder-coated steel spider with three rectangular legs (20×40 mm) that fold to 52 cm for storage and deploy to a 100 cm footprint for zero flex under 40 kg loads. One adjustable leveling leg (±15°) compensates for uneven floors, while the central 3/8"-16 female thread accepts columns or arms and the 16 mm baby stud mounts direct fixtures. Supplied with lockable wheels for mobility, it’s the perfect standalone base or replacement for high-capacity lighting stands in portrait studios, rental houses, or film sets needing low-angle, bomb-proof stability without height adjustment.
