The Kupo 20 Inch Master C-Stand with Quick Release Base Kit - Black is a steel lighting support with 2 risers and 3 sections which extends to a height of maximum height 172cm. Century Stands or "C-Stands", are the most common type of grip equipment used by the filmmaking industry due to their strength and flexibility. This C-stand is so versatile that it can be used on its own, or in combination with the supplied grip head and grip arm. With studio flash modifiers getting bigger and bigger, the need to properly support them in a range of positions is increasing. This kit includes a 20" Grip Arm with Big Handle Grip Head. The 2.5" grip head is mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing 5/8" (16mm) in diameter. The surface of the tubing is machined to create a rough texture to ensure that the grip head clamps securely. The Kupo grip head has a pair of rotating aluminium 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 Kupo grip head also features an ergonomic T-handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque.
