Manfrotto is an Italian manufacturer of camera, video, and lighting support equipment founded in 1972 by photojournalist Lino Manfrotto in Cassola, in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The company began producing tripods and lighting stands for photographers and film crews, and its product line expanded into monopods, fluid video heads, geared heads, boom arms, backgrounds, and camera bags. Manfrotto is part of the Vitec Imaging Solutions division, alongside sister brands such as Gitzo, Avenger, and Lastolite.

While primarily associated with photography and cinematography, Manfrotto gear sees regular use in music production and live performance contexts. Studio engineers and content creators use Manfrotto light stands, C-stands, Magic Arms, Super Clamps, and boom arms to mount microphones, cameras, and lighting for recording sessions, livestreams, and music video shoots. The 055 and 190 series aluminum and carbon fiber tripods, the Nano light stands, and the 244 Variable Friction Arm are among the widely used product lines across studio and on-location rigs.
