Manfrotto D200B Avenger 2.5-Inch Grip Head - Black

The Manfrotto Avenger D200B is a 2.5-inch grip head built for the daily demands of film, video, and photography lighting work. Its job is simple and critical — securely hold flags, scrims, nets, reflectors, and grip arms at precise angles on C-stands and combo stands, and keep them locked in position for the duration of a setup. The dual-jaw design gives you independent control over the stand-mount axis and the arm or flag shaft, allowing you to dial in exact positioning without one adjustment throwing off the other. This is the kind of hardware that disappears into a working grip package — you don't think about it until it fails, and the D200B is built so that it doesn't.

Construction is aluminum with a matte black finish that stays invisible near the light path, eliminating the stray reflections that chrome or bare metal hardware can throw into a scene. At 1.2 lbs, the head is light enough that stacking multiple grip heads and modifiers on a single stand remains practical without excessive counterweight. The locking knobs provide firm, non-slip clamping force that holds heavy 4x4 floppies and solid flags without creeping during long setups. For any grip kit — from a one-person documentary crew to a full grip truck on a feature — the D200B is foundational hardware that earns its place through reliable, repeatable performance on every call.
