This black Manfrotto Deluxe Autopole 2 is adjustable from 6.8-12.1' and was designed to serve the needs of image makers, decorators, and set designers. The brushed aluminum pole mounts between the floor and ceiling of a studio, or between any two flat, fixed surfaces. It is secured with a large spring-lock handle and has rubber feet at each end to prevent abrasion damage. Extensions are available to accommodate higher ceilings or changes in the user's requirements. Accessories for the Autopole 2 include super clamps, hooks, grip arms, and background support systems. A spring-loaded tip combined with rubber suction cups on top and bottom provide greater security. Floor-to-ceiling or wall-to-wall, this Autopole provides strong vertical or horizontal support for lighting.
