Manfrotto Black Aluminum Two Section Cine Stand 008BU
$100.00 /day
The Manfrotto 008BU Cine Stand is now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. This robust black aluminum two-section stand delivers rock-solid support for mid-to-heavy fixtures on busy 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 008BU Black Aluminum Two Section Cine Stand is a professional-grade, high-capacity lighting and grip support engineered for production crews renting in Hong Kong. Constructed from high-strength anodized aluminum, this heavy-duty stand offers exceptional structural rigidity while remaining significantly easier to transport than all-steel alternatives. Reaching a maximum extension height of 212cm, the defining workflow feature of the 008BU is its integrated leveling leg (also known in the local industry as a sliding leg), which directly resolves setup friction and stability issues when working on stairs, slopes, or uneven surfaces across fast-paced HK production sets.
By selecting equipment hire through Dream Scenes Studio, crews gain a highly versatile foundation for their heavy lighting arrays. The stand is designed with a low-slung base for an optimized center of gravity and features a bi-functional combo top mount, allowing it to interface seamlessly with a vast range of professional studio strobes and mid-sized cinema fixtures without requiring clumsy external adapters in tightly scheduled workflows.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Chai Wan and Kwun Tong Industrial Studios: Perfect for commercial advertising and fashion shoots requiring heavy monolights, large LED panels, or mid-sized fixtures paired with heavy softboxes or beauty dishes.
-
Central and Tsim Sha Tsui Stepped Street Shoots: Ideal for setting up hair lights, background kickers, or key lights safely on the steep slopes, stairs, and narrow stairwells common in Hong Kong’s urban core.
-
Shek O and Sai Kung Outdoor Locations: The adjustable leveling leg adapts effortlessly to rocky coastal shores, sandy beaches, or grassy hillsides, ensuring a perfectly vertical stand alignment despite uneven ground.
-
High-Strength Anodized Aluminum Build: Provides excellent structural stiffness and stable performance under payload while optimizing weight for swift repositioning.
-
Integrated Leveling Leg Architecture: Features an adjustable sliding leg that extends independently to level the stand effortlessly on steps, curbs, or sloped terrain.
-
Bi-Functional Combo Top Mount: Equipped with a standard 1-1/8″ (28mm) Junior receiver and a built-in retractable 5/8″ (16mm) Baby pin for universal fixture compatibility.
-
Double-Braced Low Base Design: Engineered with heavy-duty leg braces that lower the overall center of gravity, maximizing tip-resistance under heavy loads.
-
Professional Black Matte Finish: Coated with a durable surface treatment that eliminates unwanted light leaks, glares, and reflections on high-contrast sets.

Q: Can the Manfrotto 008BU support massive high-power movie lights like an Aputure STORM 1200x on HK sets?
A: The Manfrotto 008BU has a maximum safety payload capacity of up to 15kg, and its 1-1/8″ Junior receiver can physically accept high-power LED fixtures. However, because it is a lighter aluminum stand, for massive 1200W fixtures with heavy ballast units or when working in high-wind outdoor environments, we highly recommend renting our heavy-duty steel Combo Stands or full-sized C-Stands. Always anchor the base with heavy sandbags for top-heavy configurations.
-
Q: How do I operate the leveling leg on set to straighten the stand on stairs?
A: Simply loosen the locking knob on the specific adjustable leg collar, slide the leg downward until the main vertical column is perfectly perpendicular to the horizon (using a bubble level if necessary), and tighten the knob securely back into place. This allows two legs to rest on a lower step while the adjustable leg secures the upper step.
-
Q: Does this stand come with rolling wheels for fast studio movement?
A: No, this standard model features fixed rubber-tipped feet to provide solid, non-slip friction on flat surfaces. 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.
