Century Stands, often simply referred to as "C" Stands, have remained a staple in the filmmaking industry for many years due to their robustness and adaptability. Whether employed independently or in conjunction with a grip head and grip arm, the C-stand proves invaluable for securing lighting equipment and an array of light-shaping tools. All Century Stands come equipped with a distinct base meticulously crafted with three varying leg heights. This thoughtful design allows users to position or "nest" the stand bases, ensuring that the risers are situated mere inches apart. This feature is especially advantageous for closely mounting lights and other grip gear or for convenient storage.

The Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base introduces an ingenious advancement to the realm of C-Stands, enabling photographers and videographers to effortlessly open and retract the base legs in less than two seconds! The Master C-Stand boasts an innovative spring ring locking system, which eliminates leg tension, allowing gravity to take over. Additionally, the detachable base can be separated from the primary riser section, simplifying transport. Another benefit of the turtle base design is that upon removing the main riser section, a junior 1-1/8’’ (28mm) receiver becomes available, enabling the attachment of various junior studs and accessories.

The Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base stands as a testament to innovation and practicality, addressing the evolving needs of contemporary visual creators. It solidifies its role as an indispensable tool for industry professionals, serving both still and moving image-makers with efficiency and convenience.
