Kupo CS-40MB 40" Master C-Stand — Sliding Leg for Uneven Terrain (Black)

Durable C-Stand Built for Filmmaking Grip Work

Century Stands, commonly known as C-Stands, remain a staple in the filmmaking industry because of their strength and flexibility. The Kupo CS-40MB 40" Master C-Stand follows that tradition and provides the features filmmakers expect for on-set grip work. It comes in black and includes a sliding leg for adaptable setups.

Key Features

• Sliding Leg: Use the sliding leg when working on uneven terrain, on stairs, or when setting up with apple boxes to achieve a stable platform.
• Three Varied Leg Heights: The stand is designed with three different leg heights so that stand bases can stack with equipment on set or nest together for compact storage.
• Captive Locking T-Knobs: The column is fitted with captive locking t-knobs for secure height adjustment and to keep knobs attached during use.
• Zinc Alloy Casting on Base: The base features zinc alloy casting as the specified material for the stand’s base construction.
• Grip Head and Boom Compatible: You can easily attach a grip head and boom for added flexibility in positioning lights, flags, or other grip accessories.

Practical Use Cases

Use this C-Stand when you need a reliable support on challenging surfaces. For example, set it up on stairways or sloped locations where a standard stand would be unstable. Additionally, the stand works well in crowded kit layouts because bases can stack or nest to save space during storage or transport.

Setup and Compatibility

The CS-40MB accepts standard grip heads and booms, allowing you to configure lighting and grip rigs according to the needs of the shoot. Meanwhile, the captive locking t-knobs on the column simplify adjustments and prevent hardware loss on set.

Storage and Transport

Thanks to the three varied leg heights, you can stack multiple stand bases together with other equipment or nest them to reduce the footprint in cases and trunks. The black finish helps the stand blend into standard grip setups on set.
