Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

A nice chunk of iron. I wish they had a 5lb version. This is exactly what i wanted in a counterweight.

They clamp anywhere on the base or riser of your light stand for the best center of weight and balance. Perfect for a boom with a small light on them or a reflector/card.



Cons

The 3lb counterweight is pretty much useless.

We keep in our rolling bag and they have proven themselves much more efficient than sandbags

Price


They went up in price on this right after i ordered mine


You can get dumbells very cheap at the brick and mortar stores and in a wide variety of weights

Competitiveness


The counterweight for the mount is much more than what i need for that camera and lens and the manfrotto weights work very well


This sounds and maybe is pedantic but im just surprised a manfrotto product has zero branding on it

    Easy to manipulate surprisingly small

    This sounds and maybe is pedantic but im just surprised a manfrotto product has zero branding on it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It arrived and seems great but at first i thought maybe its a knockoff since nothing said manfrotto not even the box it came in


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But i looked at the photo of it on bhs website and it looks identical so my guess is its the real deal


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My suggestion to manfrotto is go ahead and slap a sticker on there or something just so people know its legit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wish they had a 5 lb version
