Kupo 483BT Steel Black Wind-Up Stand with Auto Self Locking Device

Kupo 483BT Steel Black Wind-Up Stand – Auto Self Locking Device for Easy Lifting and Lowering

The Kupo 483BT is a 3.66m wind-up stand built in steel with a black powder coated finish. It uses a gear column and an auto self locking device to make lifting and lowering lighting fixtures simpler and more controlled. Two risers extend simultaneously and the crank handle advances the risers in predictable increments.

Design and purpose

This stand is designed for lighting setups that require a wind-up mechanism and secure locking. It supports lights up to 30 kg, and the gear column ensures smooth movement when you raise or lower the risers. The black powder coated steel construction provides a durable exterior finish.

How the wind-up and locking system works

The stand employs an auto self locking device with a safety pin. In the easy lock position, the safety pin automatically inserts into the tube as you wind up. Conversely, in the unlock position, an inside spring returns the safety pin so you can lower or adjust the risers. The system lets you operate the stand using the crank handle while the risers move together.

Practical features for location work

• 3.66m wind-up stand suitable for lights up to 30 kg.
• Easy Lock Position - The safety pin will auto insert to the tube when winding-up.
• Unlock Position - The inside spring will bring the safety pin back.
• By using the leveling leg the stand can be quickly leveled on uneven terrain.
• The crank handle folds back for travel. It also can be placed in between tripod legs to prevent the risers from falling accidentally if the lock is unexpectedly disengaged.

Operation details

Two risers extend simultaneously, so the stand raises evenly with each crank. Each full handle turn provides a measured lift of 4.4 cm, allowing you to make controlled and repeatable height adjustments. When you fold the crank handle, it stows compactly for transport and can be used as an additional safety measure by placing it between the tripod legs.
