The Manfrotto MS0490A Nanopole Stand is the ultimate lighting support for nomadic creators and travel photographers. This incredibly compact stand features a unique detachable center column that doubles as a handheld boom, offering unmatched flexibility for off-camera flash and portable LED setups. Two-in-One Design: Stand and Detachable Handheld Pole Reverse-Folding Legs for a Tiny 19.3″ Collapsed Height Reaches a Full 6′ (1.8 m) Maximum Working Height Universal Mounting with 5/8″ Stud and Multi-Thread Top Sturdy Aluminum Build Supporting up to 3.3 lbs
The Manfrotto MS0490A Nanopole Stand redefines what professional creators expect from travel-sized support. Engineered for those who need to move light and fast, this stand solves the dilemma of carrying bulky equipment to remote locations. Whether you are a wedding photographer needing a quick hair light or a mobile journalist setting up a remote interview, the Nanopole provides a stable, high-quality foundation that fits easily into standard carry-on luggage.
The standout feature of the Manfrotto MS0490A is its highly versatile center column. With a quick release, the entire central pole detaches from the base, instantly transforming into a handheld boom. This allows an assistant to position a light or microphone exactly where it’s needed, even in crowded spaces where a tripod base cannot fit. This dual-purpose functionality makes it an essential tool for dynamic shooters who require both a traditional stand and a portable boom in one lightweight package.
Space is a premium when traveling, and the Nanopole Stand is designed to maximize it. By utilizing a reverse-folding leg mechanism, the legs tuck around the center column, resulting in a collapsed length of just 19.3 inches. This small footprint doesn’t sacrifice performance; once deployed, the stand reaches a comfortable 6-foot working height, providing the elevation necessary for natural-looking light angles. The aluminum construction ensures it remains light enough for all-day travel while maintaining the rigidity required for professional gear.
Despite its small size, the Manfrotto MS0490A is ready for a wide array of professional accessories. It features a standard 5/8″ stud topped with both 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 male threads. This universal mounting interface allows you to secure everything from speedlights and small LED panels to microphones and action cameras. If you are a creator who demands professional Manfrotto reliability in the most portable form factor possible, the Nanopole Stand is the definitive choice for your mobile kit.
