In the field of tripods and other photographic supports, Manfrotto is one of the biggest names in the business. And it’s been that way as long as most of us can remember. From the company’s current line-up of lighting stands, the Manfrotto 5001B-1 Nano Light Stand sets out to achieve a specific purpose.
It aspires to a modest but fairly useful maximum operating height, while folding down to a smaller size than most competing light stands, as well as being rather more lightweight. The upshot is that it’s ideal for carrying around when you need to use studio flash or LED light panels on location, saving the chore of lugging big, hefty stands around with you.
