Kupo CT-30MK 30" C stand with detachable Turtle Base - Kit Silver The Kupo CT-30MK 30" Silver Master C-Stand Kit with Quick Release "Turtle Base" is a steel lighting support kit with 2 risers and 3 sections that extends to a maximum height of 226cm. Century Stands or "C-Stands", are the most common type of grip equipment used by the filmmaking industry due to their strength and versatility. 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 varying range of positions is increasing. This Kupo CT-30MK kit includes 40" 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 a non-slip surface for the grip head to hold onto. The 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 grip head also features an ergonomic T-handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque. You can see the huge range of options and configurations available in the Kupo Master C-Stand range.
