The adapto collars and spider casting Material is crucial to provide high performance and light weight. Adapto is the new material specifically developed by Manfrotto for both collars and spider castings is comparable to aluminum in strength, but is 50% lighter and has a superb resistance to extreme temperatures and will not corrode or oxidize. Additionally, Adapto is an excellent vibration absorption material. the new Adapto collars are made from a single locking component, ensuring better performance and easier maintenance. A stronger and more ergonomic handle makes it easier to secure stands into the operating position. A 3/8’’ screw top female to 1/4” adapter male (015), allows you to connect additional accessories.

Review: The sturdy choice I'm glad I made - Received today in the usual desertcart abused box packaging, but something like this should survive this treatment and this did. I'm very glad I heeded the advice given in the reviews concerning wiggly jiggly lighter weight stands, including a $50 Manfrotto model, and purchased this one instead. Life's too short to put expensive lighting gear atop jiggly wiggly things. Are there sturdier light stands? Of course. This one, however, gives one confidence something really dramatic must happen before your light tips over. The pin atop the stand is crimped in place. I don't think this matters to anyone, but I've read a few comments here and there that this pin is removable. It isn't on my example. My studio flash sits atop this stand just fine and secures well. The pin comes with a, seemingly well made, 3/8" to 1/4" reducer just the right size to lose instantly unless you find a way to manage little gadgets in your work flow. My very first task for this stand is to hold a speedlight with one of those shoe mounts that accepts 1/4" so this is a welcome feature. A good stand for a good price. Review: A light stand that stands above the rest (except C stands) - The Manfrotto Light Stand – a true game-changer in the world of lighting equipment. This stand has proven itself to be incredibly handy, and the reliability of its air cushioning system has given me peace of mind during my shoots. But what sets this light stand apart is its ingenious design for transport. The ability to collapse it completely flat and seamlessly latch it onto other units of itself is a stroke of brilliance. This feature has made transporting my equipment a breeze – no more awkwardly fitting stands into tight spaces or dealing with multiple separate components. When it comes to value for money, the Manfrotto Light Stand takes the crown. Its convenience, durability, and thoughtful design have raised the bar for what a light stand can offer. As someone who has worked with various light stands, I can confidently say that this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's not just a purchase – it's an investment in convenience, efficiency, and peace of mind. ## Features - Unique stacking feature makes storage and transport a snap. - Improved castings for secure locking and reliability. - Air Cushioned ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #59 in Photographic Lighting Booms & Stands | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 603 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Manfrotto - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Special Feature:** Portable, Lightweight, Compact - **Material:** Aluminum - **Item Weight:** 3 Grams - **Maximum Height:** 366 Centimeters - **Minimum Height:** 124 Centimeters - **Leg Diameter:** 0.79 inches - **Number of leg sections:** 4 ## Images ![1004BAC 144" Air Cushioned Aluminum Master Light Stand with 4 Sections & 3 Risers, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ohOOGx+BL.jpg) ![1004BAC 144" Air Cushioned Aluminum Master Light Stand with 4 Sections & 3 Risers, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VnSuGtI3L.jpg) ![1004BAC 144" Air Cushioned Aluminum Master Light Stand with 4 Sections & 3 Risers, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FNDBXAj4L.jpg) ![1004BAC 144" Air Cushioned Aluminum Master Light Stand with 4 Sections & 3 Risers, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VWTyQONBL.jpg) ![1004BAC 144" Air Cushioned Aluminum Master Light Stand with 4 Sections & 3 Risers, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71COcfN53lL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: cant determine what the difference is between 1004BAC and 1005BAC, basically same price. Is one a newer version? Please help.** A: They are two different heights...the 1005BAC is a 9 foot stand, the 1004BAC goes to 12 feet. For my purposes, I have the taller stands and really like them...they are super sturdy, I don't worry about them collapsing under a load and the 12' extension comes in handy many times. When I use them at full extension, I like to put a few sandbags on the feet to keep people from bumping into them and bringing them down...just some extra peace of mind. There is an excellent review of these models...and others at http://www.robgalbraith.com/multi_pagee2e5.html?cid=7-10050-10614 **Q: Is it possible to not fully extend the legs (e.i. lock the legs mid-way) so that we get a smaller footprint?** A: Yes, that is possible. I have done that before but I would not fully extend the mast up as you lose considerable stability if legs are not fully extended while mast is fully extended. **Q: How wide is the footprint of the 1005 when fully extended?** A: Without actually measuring it, I'd guess about 2 1/2 feet. **Q: Does this item come with a carry bag/case?** A: No. You will have to purchase one separately unless you buy the pack that includes multiple stands then that usually comes with one. Manfrotto does make a nice bag for it but I purchased it separately. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sturdy choice I'm glad I made *by J***N on May 5, 2014* Received today in the usual Amazon abused box packaging, but something like this should survive this treatment and this did.

It's not just a purchase – it's an investment in convenience, efficiency, and peace of mind. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite light stand *by J***R on July 10, 2024* I've gone through many light stands. Still have most of them, but this is the one I reach for first, almost every time. It's larger (and therefore heavier) than some. This makes it especially sturdy, with a wide base. Not nearly as heavy as a C-stand though. I love that they pack flat. This makes a difference, even if you just have one. I now have two, and the fact that they clip together to minimize storage and packed travel space is really nice. They hold my alien bees/Einstein strobes well, even with large modifiers on there (7' umbrellas with additional diffuser covers are my biggest). This is my go-to light stand. If I need something tiny and lighter for a speedlight, I use a very compact Manfrotto stand. There are a few times I grab a C-stand with boom arm. But for 95% of what I shoot, if I'm adding lighting, it's on this stand, the 1004BAC. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manfrotto 1004BAC Master Stand - Manfrotto bag for 3 Light Stands big, MB_LBAG110 - Manfrotto 035 Ftc Super Clamp --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1154156-1004bac-144-air-cushioned-aluminum-master-light-stand-with-4](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1154156-1004bac-144-air-cushioned-aluminum-master-light-stand-with-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
