Category: C-Stands

The Kupo Master C Stand with Turtle Base features a unique innovation in the world of C Stands that enables the still or moving image-maker of any skill level to open and collapse the legs of the base in under two seconds! The Master C Stand is outfitted with a patented spring ring locking system that removes all tension from the legs so that gravity can do the work for you. A "turtle base" is an industry term where the riser section can be quickly removed from the base for easy transportation and the base can be used with a stand adapter for a low mounting position.

The 40" Grip Arm with Hex Stud is a 2 1/2" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing 5/8" (16mm) in diameter and finished with a faceted hex stud to keep lighting fixtures in position when they are placed on the end of the arm. The 2-1/2" grip head consists of a pair of rotating aluminum discs attached to a 5/8" (16 mm) receiver. The discs have four different sized "V" shaped jaws to accept any accessory with a 5/8", 1/2", 3/8" or 1/4" mounting stud or tubing. The "V" shaped jaws have "teeth" that grab whatever is mounted between the plates securely. The 2-1/2" grip head features an oversized ergonomic "T" handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque.

Natalie ★★★★★

Setting up and collapsing the legs is genuinely faster than any standard C-stand I've used, and the 40-inch riser gives plenty of height for my key light. The whole thing feels rock-solid on set, even with a heavy modifier attached.

Henry D. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the turtle base at first, but it collapses so smoothly that I can pack everything into my car in under two minutes. The 9.7ft height is perfect for holding my key light without any wobble, even on uneven studio floors.

Charlotte Y. ★★★★★

The turtle base design makes setup and breakdown genuinely faster than my older stands. It’s solid and holds my heavy light modifiers without wobble, even at full extension.
