Kupo CT-40MB 40"""" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base - Black – Patented spring ring locking for ultra-fast open and collapse

The Kupo Master C Stand with Turtle Base lets filmmakers and still photographers set up and collapse the base in under two seconds. It uses a patented spring ring locking system that removes tension from the legs, so gravity does the work. The stand ships in a black finish and includes features aimed at quick deployment, safe stacking and long-term durability.

Fast setup and compact transport

The patented spring ring locking system releases the legs’ tension so you can open or collapse them almost instantly. As a result, you spend less time fiddling with legs and more time shooting. In addition, the turtle base design lets you remove the riser section from the base quickly for easier transportation.

Risers, height and stacking

This model is a 1 m double riser stand. It has two telescoping risers and one main section, which together provide a total riser length of 2.96 m. To determine the absolute maximum working height, add the height of the base to that riser total. Furthermore, the Century-style base features three varied leg heights. This lets you stack or nest multiple stand bases so risers sit just inches apart for close-proximity mounting of lights and grip equipment, or for compact storage.

Construction and durability

The Turtle Base uses a zinc alloy casting that is five times stronger than aluminum. This base strength supports heavy sandbags and stands up to rough handling on set. The aluminum casted locking collars incorporate a stainless steel heli-coil. That heli-coil protects the collar from wear caused by the stainless steel stift of the knob, improving strength and durability over time. The stand also comes with captive locking T-knobs on the column for secure adjustments.

Compatibility and additional uses

The riser column is removable and can attach to the Kupo Runway Base. In this configuration, you can create a strong, sturdy and safe rolling stand. This gives you a practical option when you need mobility along with the stability of the Master C Stand.

Included warranty

Kupo backs this stand with a limited two-year warranty. The warranty coverage gives professional users and hobbyists alike added peace of mind for normal use on set.
