Manfrotto Salon 230 Camera Stand

The Manfrotto 809 Salon 230 is a legendary professional studio camera stand featuring a massive 8 cm black anodized aluminum column rising to 232 cm, a counter-balanced 80 cm horizontal crossarm that slides and rotates 360°, and a heavy cast-iron base on large braked wheels with single-pedal lock. At 65.7 kg it delivers absolute rock-solid stability for up to 13 kg of camera/load, making it the ultimate choice for high-volume portrait, fashion, product, and macro studios where precise overhead or low-angle positioning is required all day long.

The Manfrotto 809 Salon 230 is the lighter-duty sibling of the iconic Salon 280 yet still massively over-engineered for daily professional use. The 3.1″ (8 cm) diameter column glides smoothly via a hand-crank with built-in counterweight, while the 80 cm horizontal crossarm slides, rotates a full 360°, and locks anywhere with zero creep. A heavy cast base on large smooth-rolling wheels with single-pedal brake allows one-foot repositioning and instant rock-steady lock-down. The included camera platform accepts any 3/8″ or 1/4″ head, and a built-in 33 × 28 cm accessory tray keeps meters, lenses, and tools right at hand. Perfect for tethered shooting, overhead flat-lays, or full-length portraits with complete freedom of movement.
