Offered here in chrome, the 10.5' GVM C330 Turtle Base C-Stand and Grip Arm Kit is used for mounting lighting equipment and a variety of light-shaping tools and accessories. Constructed from stainless steel, the stand employs two risers and three sections that fully extend to a height of 126". The turtle base detaches completely from the riser. The base has wide C-type legs with a stable footprint of 27.6" that accommodates easy sandbagging and straddling of obstacles as well as folding flat. The stand has a 5/8" stud for lights or other gear. It comes with a 40" grip arm, as well as a separate grip head that allows the clamped arm to travel anywhere along its length for positioning modifiers such as silks, flags, and scrims.
