Steel safety cable for lighting rigs
The Manfrotto FF3276 steel safety cable provides a secondary attachment point for overhead lighting fixtures and grip equipment. It is intended for photographers and videographers who need a failsafe against accidental drops in studio or location environments. The cable acts as a backup when the primary support system is compromised.
Rated for 20 kg or 44 lbs maximum load
The cable supports equipment weighing up to 20 kg (44 lbs), covering typical lighting heads, modifiers and telescopic posts. Loads beyond this limit exceed the rated capacity and require a different safety solution. The steel construction maintains integrity under sustained tension within the specified range.
Carabiner and swivel hook for versatile rigging
One end carries a carabiner and the other a swivel hook with a spring catch, allowing quick connection to rails, pipes, ceilings, walls, telescopic posts or pantographs. The swivel action reduces twisting stress on the attachment points. No tools are required for installation or removal.

Questions about this item
Will the 20 kg cable secure my older steel lighting stand without damaging its finish?
The 20 kg rated steel cable uses a carabiner and swivel hook that clamp onto standard stand diameters and pipework without marring the surface.
How do I confirm the spring catch on the FF3276 is engaged correctly after clipping it to a pantograph?
Pull firmly on the cable; the spring-loaded gate on the carabiner and the hook slot must both snap fully closed with no visible gap.
Does the box include any mounting brackets or only the cable with carabiner and swivel hook?
Only the steel safety cable with integrated carabiner and swivel hook is supplied; brackets, clamps or additional hardware are not included.
