Review on Manfrotto 023 10 lbs Counterweight,Orange: Stability Booster for Camera Equipment by Daniel Paige

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great counterweight

When I first got my hands on this counterweight I thought it might be overkill for my purpose. I have at most 2 580EX II flashes and a softbox at the end of the boom which is a 3 piece Manfrotto 420CSU combo rod stand with sandbag replacing the 3399 which is a fairly heavy rod stand. My setup is good and makes the stand solid. The counterweight itself attaches and moves very easily and stays in place once bolted on. Please note that it is orange, not red as in the photo.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Expensive
