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.

Q: 4. Are KUPO c stands compatible with Matthews? For example, could a Kupo gobo head attach to a Matthews baby pin or Matthews grip arm? Can you 'soldier' the stands next to each other (Matthews agains Kupo)?

I will be using these for film and video applications. Thanks!

A: Sorry I hit submit while I was editing. Kupo is a little heaver and the legs are bolted to castings, what we have noticed is a movement where the base tube and leg assemble join that's what gave it a lean. Matthews is a welded leg assemble and their is no movement in the column connecting area, also we have the strongest grip head in the industry.
