Manfrotto FF3512N86 Pantograph with Wire Cable

The Manfrotto FF3512N86 Pantograph with Wire Cable is a robust and precision-engineered solution for overhead studio lighting, designed to integrate seamlessly with the Sky Track System. Constructed from lightweight aluminium and manufactured to DIN 15560-46 standards, this pantograph ensures durability and reliability in professional settings. It features 16 mm (5/8") attachments-female on the top and male on the bottom-facilitating versatile equipment mounting. The internal 2 mm steel cable, boasting a safety factor of 12, supports loads up to 12 kg using the built-in friction device, and up to 18 kg with optional springs. With an adjustable extension range from 27 cm to 200 cm, and a user-friendly coloured notched ring for friction control, the FF3512N86 offers precise positioning and secure suspension of lighting equipment, making it an indispensable tool for photographers and videographers seeking to optimise their studio space.

The coloured notched ring can adjust the pantograph's friction; this will ensure that the load remains stable when set in position, but that it will move smoothly up and down when necessary. It is advisable to use springs to aid raising the pantograph.

When choosing the additional spring (s) for your pantograph, you will first need to know exactly which model of pantograph you have, in order that you can select the spring of the correct length. If you have the new compact pantograph, the TOP 2 version (above) has a red notched ring, while the TOP 4 version has a blue notched ring.
