Kupo CT-30MKB 30" C Stand with Turtle Base Kit - Black

Kupo CT-30MKB C-Stand with Turtle Base is easy to set up, durable and solid stand specially designed for professional photographers, film makers and videographers. The unique leg locking system makes deploying and collapsing the legs a snap and can be done within seconds with pulling up the spring ring and twist the stand.

Supplied with a 40" Grip Arm with Hex Stud is a 2 1/2" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" 5/8"-diameter steel rod finished with a faceted hex stud to keep lighting fixtures in position when they are placed on the end of the arm. The surface of the tubing is stippled to create a rough texture to ensure a non-slip surface. 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. This kit includes a stand, 2.5" grip head, and 40" grip arm with hex stud.

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 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 does the work for you. The removable base also separates from the main riser section for easy transport. Another advantage of a turtle base is that once you remove the main riser section, you have a junior 1-1/8’’ (28mm) receiver to accept any junior stud or accessory.

C-Stands get their sizing from the length of their riser sections. All C-Stands also known as Century Stands feature a unique base specially designed with three varied leg heights. This enables the user to stack or "nest" the stand bases so that the risers are just inches apart from one another for use in close proximity, mounting of lights and other grip equipment, or easy storage. This Master C-Stand features a zinc alloy casting on its base that's five times stronger than aluminum and can sustain the weight of heavy sandbags or a person standing on the base. The aluminum cast locking collars are outfitted with a stainless steel heli-coil that protects the aluminum from being damaged by the knob's stainless steel bolt for strength and durability.

Kupo 40" Hex Grip Arm with Big Handle (Silver)
With a silver machined finish, the Kupo 40" Hex Grip Arm with Big Handle has a 2-1/2" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing, which is 5/8" (16mm) in diameter. The surface of the tubing is machined to create a rough texture to ensure a non-slippery surface. 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 4 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 feature teeth that securely 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. At the end of the 40" grip arm, you will find a baby hex-pin with 6 milled flat surfaces.

You can mount your light fixtures or accessories on the end of your grip arm like a mini boom. They won't rotate due to the set-screw of that fixture or accessory, locking onto one of the sides of the hex-pin. The grip head uses a non-slip aluminum friction disc that maintains its durability over time, offering the user positive locking strength and precise control. The grip head is constructed around a solid steel central bolt with a fixed solid pin to secure it to the aluminum casting for increased strength and durability.
