The Manfrotto Alu Ranker 9-foot Air-Cushioned Stand is heavy-duty light stand and one of our most stable options.

Durable Design

The Alu Ranker is a black anodized aluminum stand that safely supports medium to heavy lights with modifiers attached up to a payload of 22lb. With a maximum height of up to 9’, the Manfrotto Alu Ranker is a great option when you need the appearance of a high light source. This stand features a maximum footprint of 41.7” giving you all the stability you need, even on tricky terrain. The Quick Stack System (QSS) means you can fold it flat, and that you can clip multiple stands together for easy transport.

Air-Cushioned

The great benefit of the air cushioning is that it keeps your movements smooth and sure. It also prevents damage to your photography equipment or catching your fingers during accidental retraction.

Removable Spigot

The Ranker includes a 5/8” removable and reversible spigot with a 1/4” and 3/8” thread, so pairing it up with any accessory you need is quick and simple.
