Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this model have a sliding leg like most regular (non-turtlebase) C-stands?

A: No, the Matthews Century C Stand with Spring-Loaded Base - 10.5' (3.2m) is not a sliding leg stand. A sliding leg is not a standard feature on the basic C-stand. A sliding leg, like a removable turtle base or a spring-loaded base, would be an additional feature from the basic C-stand base. If you are looking for a Matthews C-stand with a sliding leg, I would recommended the Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m), B&H # MALSC40HW, or the Matthews Hollywood Century "C" Pro Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m), B&H # MALSC40HWC, for your usage needs.

Q: 2. Is this stand painted silver or chrome plated?

A: You can buy them in Chrome or PC Black

Q: 3. Same, better or worse than popular Avenger brand?

A: This model would be comparable to its Avenger counterpart, but at a better value.

Q: 4. Do you know the diameter(s) of the pole sections?

A: Trying to be specific: There is a base (called a turtle base), a stand (the main mast that is held by the base) and two risers (that telescope up from within the stand or mast and extend the height of the stand to above 10 feet.) As to diameters(s): the stand measures 11 cm around, (approx. 4.25 inches). The first riser measures 9.5 cm around, (approx. 3.75 inches). The second riser measures 7.9 cm around, (approx. 3.1 inches). Atop the second riser, seated on a standard 5/8 diameter pin, is a 2.5 inch grip head holding a 40 inch extension arm. The extension arm is 5 cm around (approx. 2 inches).

Q: 5. You guys think this will be strong enough for a Westcott Rapidbox XXL and Xplore 600 monolight? I will have sandbags for extra support.

A: This Impact Turtle Base C-Stand would be strong enough for your set up being that it holds up to 22 LBS.

Q: 6. What dose Spring-Loaded mean?

A: Each section of the riser has a spring attached internally at the bottom end as a safety feature to absorb shock from a sudden drop.

Q: 7. Would the Avenger D600 boom arm be a good match with this stand in terms of weight-size ratios of both items?

A: Yes the Avenger D600 Mini Boom would be an excellent match to this Avenger stand in terms of weight capacity and portability.

Q: 8. Can you put wheels on this stand? what type fit?

A: The Avenger A9000NB Wheel Set with Brakes (Black), B&H # AVA9000NB, or the Avenger A9000N Wheel Set with Brakes (Silver), B&H # AVA9000N, would work for your usage needs on the Avenger Baby Steel Stand 40 with Leveling Leg (Chrome-plated, 13').

Q: 9. What's the longest boom I can attach?

A: It's less about length and more about weight. I regularly boom a shotgun mic out at least 8 feet. It's a pretty solid stand and if you properly counterweight it I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Q: 10. how do mount a flash and soft box to this stand?

A: For the umbrella mount, something like an Avenger D240 Swivel Grip Head will work, and to get a flash on there something like a Smith-Victor 570 Universal Stand to Flash Shoe Adapter on a baby pin will work. Lots of ways to make that happen. For large umbrellas, stay away from the all-in-one solutions though, as they aren't strong enough to do something like hold a 7' umbrella in place without slipping.
