This 10.75' Impact Turtle Base C-Stand Kit, in a black finish, is comprised of a C-stand, 2.5" grip head, and 40" extension arm. The stand features a patented locking mechanism that allows the legs to swing out and lock into place for easy setup and collapse flat for storage. The included extension grip arm fits neatly into the stand's removable 2.5" grip head, allowing you to offset the stand and cantilever flags, gobos, or lights out of the way of the action. The stand has a low center of gravity, which allows mounting of heavy equipment without tipping. The legs are perfectly shaped for saddlebag-type sandbags. The kit is also often used as a short boom.

Durable finish resists all weather conditions.

Innovative design on the Century Stand base allows individual legs to be set at any angle and be positioned in locations not possible with classic stands.

Ergonomic "T" shaped handles are "captive"—they do not come off of the stand when unscrewed, preventing loss.

Each riser section has an external rubber gasket, which protects your equipment and fingers from sudden drops in stand elevation.

Q: 1. I would like to take off the Turtle base, and instead, use the stand with a kind of wall plate that could receive the stand. (I want a flat base, no legs.) What’s the size of the bottom spin of the stand? Is there any wall plate receiver that will match this size?

A: I have used this stand with my profoto B1 and D1s. I have used beauty dishes and large octa's. I do recommend using sandbags. I have since purchased a boom arm and use with this stand with great results.

Q: 5. 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.
