The Manfrotto FF3532 Type 12 Red is an additional counterbalance spring for the compact Manfrotto TOP 2C pantograph FF3512N86, used to position lighting on studio rail systems. The red Type 12 spring helps balance the lighting load as the pantograph moves vertically. With one Type 12 spring, the TOP 2C counterbalances 9–16 kg; combined with a Type 4 spring, the range is 13–18 kg. These ranges describe the pantograph configuration, not a standalone spring load rating. The pantograph is sold separately.

The Manfrotto FF3532 Spring for Pantographs (Type 12, Red) is engineered to ensure safe, smooth, and perfectly balanced operation when mounting heavy lighting fixtures to a Manfrotto/Bogen rail system pantograph.
