Its chrome-plated steel construction, geared column, 50 kg loading capacity, and auto self-locking mechanism make it a practical support for followspots, small effects fixtures, and other heavy stand-mounted equipment that needs controlled vertical travel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhy It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e Followspot and front-of-house positions often leave very little room for improvisation. The 481 gives the operator a crank-lift stand with measured 2.2 cm travel per handle turn, so height changes feel controlled instead of abrupt, and the self-locking design helps prevent the column from dropping unexpectedly.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003eGeared wind-up column raises the load in 2.2 cm increments per handle turn, making small height corrections easier under weight\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eAutomatic self-locking mechanism adds a safety layer when lifting fixtures up to 50 kg\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e Chrome-plated steel body gives the stand the weight and rigidity expected for followspot support\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eLeveling leg helps the stand settle more predictably on uneven floors or venue platforms\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e Compatible with the 483-BP base plate set when the stand must be secured to the floor\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eHeight Range \u0026amp; Reach\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 481 is the short wind-up member of the followspot stand family.
