Matthews, renowned for its expansive line of smartly designed and ruggedly built grip gear, introduces the Monitor Stand III, the latest evolution of the company’s trusted rolling monitor support. With the same battle-tested benefits that professionals have relied on for years, the Monitor Stand III adds practical new advantages that make it move smoother, more versatile, extra durable, and sharper looking.
From the studio floor to uneven locations, from a simple riser setup to a fully loaded rolling station, the Monitor Stand III is engineered to overcome the rigors of production to meet the evolving needs of camera techs, directors, and producers.
To benefit todays on set workflow, Monitor Stand III adds straight-tracking, dual-locking casters that glide seamlessly across any set, with V-shaped brakes that lock in at three points of contact, so the rig stays put exactly where it’s placed. A new tough black forge-texture finish adds durability and a premium look.
The stand can be paired with the optional bolt-on Battery Tray to place a battery at the base, freeing up the risers to support monitors and other equipment above — a clean, simple, and purpose-built solution for the way productions actually work.
The Monitor Stand III features the new tough black forge-texture finish for lasting durability, along with reinforced braces and an integrated carry handle. A 1/4″-20 tapped baby pin provides an extra mounting point for flags and accessories, while an ultra-low 5.5″/14cm base height allows the stand to slide under furniture. A Rocky Mountain leveling leg is included to handle uneven surfaces, and the stand offers a 70-lb/31.75kg weight capacity supported by straight-tracking casters and 3-point V-brakes.
The Monitor Stand III has a minimum loading height of 31″/78cm and a maximum loading height of 69″/175cm, with a base height of 5.5″/14cm. It weighs 20 lbs./9kg, carries a capacity of 70 lbs./32kg, and incorporates a 1/4″-20 thread.
True to Matthews’ build philosophy, the stand is fully serviceable, made entirely of nuts and bolts with replacement parts available from the company’s Burbank, California factory.
The Monitor Stand III (SKU 249574) is available now. The optional Battery Tray (SKU 861837) and Battery Tray with Jr Pin (SKU 861836) are also shipping.
