This Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base features a unique, innovative spring locking system that allows you to open and fold the tripod's legs in less than two seconds. Turtle Base is an industry term where the base can be quickly removed for easy transport. In addition, the base can be used as a low mounting position with a tripod adapter. It has a unique base that has been specially designed with three different leg heights. This allows the user to stack or nest the stand bases so that the risers are only a few centimetres apart, enabling the mounting of lights and other grip equipment in close proximity and easy storage. This 20'' Master C-Stand from Kupo is made of black powder-coated steel and has a zinc alloy base that is five times stronger than aluminium to support the weight of heavy tripod bags and other equipment. The cast aluminium locking sleeves are fitted with a stainless steel heli-coil to protect the risers from damage. The steel baby bolts are welded directly to the upper part. The standing leg is equipped with a foot pad that protects both the leg and the floor. This kit contains a 20'' C-Stand, a 2,5'' Griphead and a 20'' Griparm. The 20'' Griparm consists of a 2.5'' Griphead and a 20'' long steel tube with a diameter of 5/8'' (16 mm) and a hexagonal bolt at the end (to hold lighting fixtures in position when placed on the end of the arm). The 2.5'' Griphead consists of a pair of rotating aluminium discs attached to a 5/8'' (16mm) mount. The discs have four different sized V-shaped jaws that can accept any accessory with a 5/8'', 1/2'', 3/8'' or 1/4'' mounting bolt. The 2.5'' Griphead has an oversized, ergonomic T-handle and special roller bearings designed for maximum torque.
