Matthews, known for the world’s top support gear, introduces a new portable stand customized for location work. The Location MERF offers the same trusted build and compact design of the original Mini Extendable Reverse Folding Stand—but loaded with in-the-field conveniences.
This versatile workhorse offers 3 added advantages to support field work. Location MERF comes standard with Matthews’ exclusive Rocky Mountain Leg that extends up to 3″, providing level setup on hillsides, sidewalks, and other uneven terrain. For ultra-secure mounting and handling, there’s a knurled baby pin undercut with a smartly textured grip. Plus, the new knurled 1/4″-20 tapped baby pin is ready to attach accessories or to screw on a camera—perfect for light packing.
Like the original, Location MERF is built with lightweight aluminum tubing and features Matthews’ preferred brake-lock 3-point of contact system. Fortified with a rigid Riser Column and aluminum castings, Location MERF reaches a full 7’5″/227cm height. It also features tool-free T-Handles and trusty nuts-and-bolts construction.
Ready to support up to 9-lbs/4kg, Location MERF itself weighs just 2.5-lbs/1.1kg. With a 24″/61cm Footprint Diameter it raises up to 83″/212cm and compacts down to just 20″/51cm, ready to fit in a pack or travel kit.
