Century Stands, often referred to as "C" Stands, are widely used in the film industry due to their durability and flexibility. They can be employed on their own or in conjunction with a grip head and grip arm to securely mount lighting equipment and a diverse range of tools for shaping and modifying light. Each Century Stand is equipped with a distinct base designed with three adjustable leg heights. This special feature allows users to position the stand bases closely together, making it convenient for mounting lights and other grip equipment in tight spaces or for effortless storage.

The Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base introduces an innovative solution within the realm of C-Stands, enabling photographers and videographers to effortlessly open and close the base legs in less than two seconds. The Master C-Stand is equipped with a patented spring ring locking system that removes all tension from the legs, allowing gravity to do the work for you. The detachable base can also be separated from the main riser section, ensuring easy transportation. Another advantage of the turtle base design is that once the main riser section is removed, a junior 1-1/8’’ (28mm) receiver becomes available for accommodating various accessories or junior studs.
