Kupo CL-30MK 30"""" Master C-Stand With Sliding Leg Kit & Quick Release - Silver — Sliding Leg for Uneven Terrain and Fast Quick-Release Setup

Century Stands, commonly called “C” Stands, remain a core piece of grip equipment in filmmaking due to their strength and flexibility. Filmmakers use C-stands on their own or combined with a grip head and grip arm to mount lighting fixtures and a wide variety of light-shaping tools and accessories.

Design and Base Advantages

All Century Stands feature a unique base with three varied leg heights. This design enables you to position or “nest” the stand bases so risers sit just inches apart. As a result, you can mount lights and other grip equipment in close proximity or store multiple stands compactly.

Kupo CL Master C-Stand: Key Features

The Kupo CL master C-stand adds a patent-pending mechanical design that focuses on quick-release setup and a sliding leg for slopes or uneven terrain. It combines traditional C-stand benefits with enhanced field adjustability for faster rigging.

• Patent-pending mechanical design for rapid setup.
• Sliding longest leg to adapt to inclines and uneven ground.
• Quick-release action that allows legs to swing into position in seconds.
• Spring-loaded locating pin that engages during leveling for stable placement.
• Middle leg that helps hold the stand in place and reduces the risk of accidental tip-over.

How It Works (Simple Setup)

1. Unlock the knob on the longest leg.
2. Swing all legs to the desired positions; the legs move into place quickly.
3. Allow the spring-loaded locating pin to engage while the longest leg performs the leveling.
4. Rely on the middle leg to keep the stand steady and help prevent tip-over.

Use Cases and Practical Benefits

Use the Kupo CL master C-stand to support lights, modifiers, flags, and a range of grip accessories. The sliding leg makes it straightforward to secure the stand on sloped surfaces or uneven terrain without complex reconfiguration. Meanwhile, the quick-release mechanism speeds up positioning during fast-paced shoots.

Safety and Reliability

The spring-loaded locating pin and the middle leg’s locking action provide added security during setup. Together, these features give you a quick, safe, and stable support solution when working with lighting and grip equipment.
