Manfrotto Counterweight L-PESO 4.7kg

Having this counterweight on my medium stand completely eliminated wobble from my heavy video rig. The threaded connection makes it feel secure and part of the setup.

This thing is solid—the 4.7kg weight really anchors my backdrop stands even with a heavy softbox attached. I like that it’s compact enough to stack on a shelf when not in use.

I was worried my light stands would tip over with heavier modifiers, but this 4.7kg counterweight locks them down perfectly. The solid metal construction feels reassuringly dense, and it attaches without any wobble.
