Axis 5017-111 T91A11 Stand White
The Axis 5017-111 is a plastic mounting stand engineered to provide stable, adjustable positioning for Axis M10X and M11X series network cameras. Unlike wall or ceiling mounts that lock position, this stand delivers flexible placement — essential when you need to reposition a camera or test coverage angles before permanent installation.
Key Features
- Plastic construction: Lightweight material reduces installation labor compared to metal stands, while remaining rigid enough to handle camera weight and vibration. Ideal for temporary or semi-permanent deployments where you want to avoid wall penetration.
- Durable white finish: Color-matched to modern office and retail environments, blending visually with light-colored walls and ceilings rather than standing out as surveillance hardware.
- M10X and M11X series compatibility: Works with the full range of Axis compact and mid-range IP cameras — covers roughly 80% of entry-to-mid-tier Axis deployments, so you can standardize on one stand SKU across multiple camera types.
- Quick installation: Mounting hardware and setup require no special tools or calibration. Deploy in minutes without requiring a technician to drill holes or route cables through walls.
- Flexible camera positioning: Adjust angle and height on the fly — useful for testing sightlines before committing to a permanent mount or accommodating changing facility layouts without remounting.
Integration & Compatibility
The 5017-111 supports any Axis M10X or M11X camera equipped with a standard tripod-mount interface. This includes compact fixed domes, compact turrets, and lightweight box cameras in that family. If you're deploying larger M30, M40, or M50 series cameras, you'll need a heavier-duty stand or wall bracket — verify weight capacity against your specific camera model before ordering.
The stand does not include PoE switching or cabling; you'll need a separate PoE switch or injector to power your camera, and standard Ethernet cabling routed from your network infrastructure to the camera.
When to Choose a Different Mount
If your installation demands permanent positioning and aesthetic concealment, consider a wall-bracket or recessed ceiling mount in the Axis accessory line instead — those eliminate visible stands and lock the camera in place. For outdoor high-wind or high-vibration environments, verify that the stand's plastic base will remain stable; metal stands or wall anchors are more suitable for exposed rooftop or highway deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Axis 5017-111 suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, the stand is rated for both indoor and outdoor environments. However, plastic in direct sunlight may discolor over years of UV exposure. For long-term outdoor deployments in high-UV regions, consider UV-resistant protective covers or a powder-coated metal stand alternative.
Q: Can I mount the 5017-111 on a ceiling?
A: No, this stand is designed for horizontal placement on a table, shelf, or floor. For ceiling mounting, use Axis ceiling brackets or pendant mounts designed for M10X/M11X cameras.
Q: What's the maximum camera weight this stand supports?
A: The 5017-111 is rated for compact M10X and M11X cameras, typically under 1 kg (2.2 lbs). If your camera weighs more, contact the manufacturer or verify in the camera's installation guide before use.
Q: Does the stand include cables or a power supply?
A: No, the 5017-111 includes only the stand base and mounting hardware. You'll need to supply Ethernet cabling and a PoE switch or injector separately.
Q: Is the white finish available in other colors?
A: The 5017-111 is white only. If black or gray is required, check the Axis catalog for alternative stand SKUs or consider painting the stand before deployment.

The Axis 5017-111 is the right tool when you need temporary or flexible camera positioning in an indoor or light-outdoor environment. Its plastic construction keeps weight and cost low, and the tripod-mount interface is universal across the entire M10X and M11X lineup — that breadth of compatibility is why it works for labs, staging areas, and retail floor tests where you're burning off mounting options before final deployment.
Deployment Highlights:
- Plastic durability: Unlike flimsy tripod legs, this stand is injection-molded for rigidity — won't flex under the vibration of a compact camera's pan-tilt lens motor or bump when someone nudges the base. Weight of a typical M10X camera (under 500g) is well within its rated load.
- M10X/M11X family lock-in: Covers roughly 40+ camera SKUs across Axis's entry and mid-tier portfolios. If you standardize on one stand model, you can stock a single part number and deploy it with any of those cameras without compatibility guessing.
- Rapid repositioning: Install, test angle, unplug, relocate, and remount — all without tools. That agility matters in retail or campus environments where sight-line changes happen week-to-week.
Installation Gotchas:
- Plastic base on smooth surfaces (tile, polished concrete) can slip under cable tension or minor vibration — use adhesive pads or sandbag the base if the camera is live and the stand is near high-traffic areas.
- UV fade is real in direct sunlight. Outdoor deployments lasting longer than 6–12 months may show color shift; plan for eventual replacement or cover.
Best suited for pilot deployments, testing environments, or indoor retail/office settings where a camera needs repositioning flexibility and you're not ready to cut holes in walls. If your installation is permanent and outdoor-facing, upgrade to a wall-mount bracket or metal pedestal stand instead.
