Kupo 160MB 360 Spherical Camera Stand

Kupo 160MB 360 Spherical Camera Stand – Small footprint with telescopic pole for reduced view obstruction

The Kupo 160MB 360 Spherical Camera Stand is built from black powder coated steel and designed to minimize view obstruction during 360° shooting. It features a telescopic central pole, a compact footprint, and provisions for counterweights and cable management. You can use the stand as a boom or rig it overhead thanks to the detachable central column.

Key construction and design

The stand uses powder coated steel for durability and a discreet black finish. Its small footprint reduces look-down views and shadow obstruction when shooting 360 spherical footage. The telescopic pole helps adapt the setup to different shooting heights while keeping the stand less visible in the frame.

Mounting, stability and cable management

The stand accepts a counterweight via a 3/8” threaded female hole drilled into the bottom of the telescopic pole. This allows you to increase stability and helps prevent the stand from toppling on uneven ground or in a stiff breeze. In addition, the central column is detachable from the base so you can convert the stand for boom or overhead use.

For neat setups, cable can run through the central column and exit at the bottom. This keeps cables out of the way and reduces visible clutter during 360 capture.

Typical use cases

Use this stand when you need a low-profile support for 360 spherical cameras where minimizing shadow and look-down obstruction matters. It also suits setups that require overhead mounting, boom operations, or tidy cable routing through the central column. Finally, the counterweight option and leveling legs make it practical for outdoor or uneven-surface shoots.

FAQ

Question: Can I mount standard grip gear to this stand?
Answer: Yes. The stand top includes a 1-1/8” (28mm) Junior receiver that integrates with standard grip equipment, allowing you to attach common grip heads and adapters.

Question: How do I improve stability outdoors or on uneven ground?
Answer: Use the three leveling legs to stabilize the stand on uneven terrain and fit a counterweight on the 3/8” threaded female hole at the bottom of the telescopic pole. You can also mount a weight plate for 28mm or 50mm bar diameter to increase stability further.

Question: Can I run cables through the stand to hide them from view?
Answer: Yes. Cable can run through the central column and exit at the bottom, helping you keep cables out of the camera’s sightlines and maintain a cleaner 360 capture.

Question: Is the central column removable for different rigging setups?
Answer: Yes. The central column detaches from the base, which allows you to use the column as a boom or for overhead rigging configurations when needed.
