The Master C-Stand with Turtle Base from Kupo is a 20" Century Stand designed to support light fixtures and modifiers weighing up to 22 lb. Additionally, the stand has been given a silver finish achieved by applying a chrome plating to the metal frame.

Constructed with both strength and capability in mind, the Master C-Stand features three sections?two of which are extendable?which bring the stand's maximum height to 68.1". At its lowest, the stand collapses down to just 36.8", and is capable of supporting up to 22 lb at either height.

The stand's base is made up of a traditional three-leg configuration with each leg set at a different height to allow for stand "nesting" on set. Of the three legs, two feature a spring-loaded design which rapidly extends and locks them into place, while the third may be height-adjusted via a locking knob on the riser's main section. In order to improve strength, the base has been cast from durable zinc alloy, making it five times stronger than traditional aluminum designs. The locking collars have also been cast from aluminum in order to prevent damage and maintain longevity.

Century Stands, or simply known as ?C? Stands, have been one of the most common types of grip equipment used by the filmmaking industry for decades due to their strength and flexibility. Used on its own or in combination with a grip head and grip arm, the C-stand is used for mounting lighting equipment and a whole variety of light shaping tools and accessories. All Century Stands feature a unique base specially designed with three varied leg heights. This enables the user to position, 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.

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.
