Manfrotto Single Base for Autopole Display 45mm 1.20kg

Stable base for Autopole displays

The Manfrotto Single Base provides a solid foundation for 45mm diameter Autopoles, keeping backdrop setups secure during photography or video sessions. Weighing 1.20kg, it is light enough to transport between locations while remaining sturdy enough for repeated professional use. The silver-finished construction resists wear in demanding studio and event environments. It suits photographers, videographers and event organisers who need a free-standing background support.

Height limit and pole compatibility

The base supports Autopoles even when ceiling height exceeds 12 feet (3.6 m), allowing tall backdrop configurations without ceiling mounting. It accepts only 45mm diameter poles, so thinner or thicker tubes cannot be secured. No height-adjustment mechanism is built into the base itself; vertical positioning depends entirely on the Autopole's internal tension system. Buyers needing to mount poles of a different diameter will require a different base model.

Simple setup with one alignment step

Place the base on a level floor, insert the Autopole into the 45mm socket and extend the pole until it locks against the ceiling. The only common issue is an uneven floor causing the base to rock, which can be corrected with shims or by repositioning. Because the base has no wheels or brakes, it must be lifted rather than dragged when moving the assembled pole. No tools are required for assembly or disassembly.
