Manfrotto Black Small Brake Base

The Manfrotto 299BBASE Black Small Brake Base is a heavy-duty, low-profile rolling stand base that turns any compatible column (century stand, light stand, or custom pole) into a rock-solid backlight or accent light stand. With a 75 cm footprint, one adjustable levelling leg, lockable braked wheels, and a massive 40 kg payload, this 4.8 kg steel base folds compactly for storage and is the go-to solution for studio and location photographers needing smooth, safe repositioning of heavy backlights or floor-level lights.

The Manfrotto 299BBASE is the professional small rolling brake base designed specifically for backlight and low-angle lighting setups. Its robust black steel construction supports up to 40 kg while keeping the center of gravity low (28 cm height), making it perfect for large softboxes, heavy fresnels, or boom arms used as backlights. Simply insert any standard 28 mm (Junior) or 16 mm (Baby) column to create a custom rolling stand in seconds.
