Manfrotto 012B Backlight Stand (地腳)

$60.00 /day

The Manfrotto 012B Backlight Stand is now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. This classic aluminum low stand features an integrated extension riser for precise floor-level lighting on HK sets.

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Manfrotto 012B Backlight Stand is a professional-grade, highly reliable aluminum low stand engineered for lighting technicians and cinematographers renting in Hong Kong. Locally referred to in the industry as a “backlight floor stand” or “heavy-duty floor stand,” this premium accessory is uniquely designed with a built-in 2-section extension riser column. The defining workflow advantage of the Manfrotto 012B is its ability to adjust height seamlessly from near floor level up to 85cm, directly resolving setup friction when fine-tuning backdrop illumination or positioning rim lights behind furniture on fast-paced HK production sets.

By selecting equipment hire through Dream Scenes Studio, crews secure a rugged yet lightweight support platform. Crafted with premium black anodized aluminum, the base features fold-flat legs that deploy instantly, coupled with an industry-standard 5/8″ (16mm) baby pin to ensure immediate compatibility with a broad array of production fixtures without forcing the crew to hunt for adapters.

Applicable Scenarios:

Chai Wan and Kwun Tong Industrial Studios: Perfect for high-contrast portrait sets and commercial lookbooks where an adjustable background halo or low-angle rim light is needed directly behind the subject.
Central and Tsim Sha Tsui Interior Sets: Ideal for slipping behind chairs, desks, or practical set decor to simulate authentic upward window kickers or realistic ambient lamp glows.
Hong Kong Studio Cyc Walls and Greenscreens: Excellent for placing compact high-output fixtures on the floor and extending them upward slightly to wash seamless walls evenly from the base up.

Integrated 2-Section Extension Riser: Allows seamless vertical height adjustments from a low profile of 9cm up to a maximum extension of 85cm for precise beam positioning.
Black Anodized Aluminum Chassis: Provides high structural rigidity and stable performance while remaining remarkably lightweight for quick adjustments on set.
Fold-Flat Space-Saving Base: Legs feature a swift folding mechanism that allows the stand to collapse completely flat for compact storage in crowded grip trucks.
Standard 5/8″ Fixed Baby Pin: Equipped with an industry-standard 16mm mounting spigot to ensure immediate compatibility with standard studio strobes and LED fixtures.
Ergonomic Ergonomic Locking Collar: Utilizes smooth, high-torque locking knobs that secure the extension columns firmly under payload without slipping.

⚠️ Note: This single-item rental includes the low backlight stand with its integrated riser only. It does NOT include castor wheels, C-Stand arms, sandbags, or lighting fixtures. Please add your preferred safety grip gear and light modifiers to your cart separately if needed.

Q: Can the Manfrotto 012B support heavy high-power movie lights like an Aputure STORM 1200x on HK sets?
A: This stand has a maximum safety payload capacity of up to 3kg, making it ideal for standard studio flashes, portable mirrorless video panels, and compact LED fixtures. For heavy, high-power cinema fixtures, we highly recommend renting our heavy-duty Kupo 013 Folding Base Stand or standard C-Stands to ensure proper load safety.
Q: Can I remove the central extension riser column to place the light directly on the folding base?
A: No, the 2-section column is integrated into the core chassis of the 012B to ensure stability. However, you can collapse the extension sections completely down to their lowest position, which keeps the light socket just 9cm off the ground.
Q: Does this backlight stand come with wheels for rolling across the studio floor?
A: No, this standard model features fixed rubber-tipped feet to provide solid, non-slip friction on studio floors. If your workflow requires rolling capabilities, please request optional castor wheels or check our available rolling base configurations.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
