Manfrotto 270CSU is a professional four-section chrome-plated steel lighting stand for heavy studio and location equipment. Double leg bracing and an independently adjustable levelling leg improve stability on uneven ground, while its 144–477 cm working range enables high placement. Payload is 40 kg, or 12 kg at full extension, and the universal top combines a 28 mm socket, 16 mm stud and 3/8″ screw.
Chrome-plated steel, double leg braces and a levelling leg for demanding lighting setups.


Four column sections measuring 50, 45, 40 and 35 mm cover a 144–477 cm height range. Manfrotto rates the stand for 12 kg when fully extended.
Double braces reinforce the wide base, while one levelling leg helps align the stand on location. The complete steel structure weighs 13.5 kg.

A 28 mm socket, 16 mm stud and 3/8″ screw accept common studio fittings. Manfrotto recommends wheel sets 103, 104 and 104G.
