Kupo CT-BS Turtle Base - Silver

Kupo CT-BS Turtle Base - Silver — Zinc Alloy Replacement Base for Master C-Stands

The Kupo CT-BS Turtle Base in silver serves as a direct replacement base for Master C-Stands with a Turtle base. It uses a zinc alloy casting that is described as five times stronger than aluminum, so it can sustain the added weight of heavy sandbags and even people standing on it. Designed for durability and fast operation, this base suits rigging tasks where a sturdy, low-profile support is required.

Key Features

• Replacement base for Master C-Stands with Turtle Base.
• Can be used as a very low stand for backlights or other low-height applications.
• Patented spring ring locking system enables you to open and close the base in under a second.
• Zinc alloy casting for extra strength; noted as five times stronger than aluminum to sustain heavy loads.
• Max load: 30kg. Max height: 35cm.

Details and Practical Uses

The base includes a hollow junior pin receiver that allows debris to pass through. As a result, you can clean and maintain the receiver more easily, which helps prolong the life of the base in busy, dusty production environments.

Moreover, the patented spring ring locking system speeds up setup and teardown. Therefore, you can open and close the base in under a second, saving time during frequent repositioning or when switching between setups.

Finally, because the base doubles as a very low stand, you can use it for backlights or with stands that have different extension columns. This flexibility makes the CT-BS Turtle Base useful on set, in studios, or on location when a low-height support is preferable.
