Century Stands, commonly known as C Stands, have been a staple in the filmmaking industry for decades due to their strength and flexibility. They can be used alone or in combination with a grip head and grip arm to mount lighting equipment and a variety of light shaping tools and accessories. All Century Stands feature a unique base designed with three varied leg heights, allowing users to position or nest the stand bases so that the risers are just inches apart. This design is ideal for close proximity mounting of lights and other grip equipment, as well as for easy storage.
The Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base introduces a unique innovation that allows still or moving image-makers to open and collapse the legs of the base in under two seconds! The Master C-Stand is equipped with a patented spring ring locking system that eliminates all tension from the legs, allowing gravity to do the work. Additionally, the removable base separates from the main riser section for easy transport. One of the advantages of a turtle base is that once the main riser section is removed, it provides a junior 1-1/8 (28mm) receiver to accept any junior stud or accessory.
