Kupo CT-BSB Turtle Base - Black – Zinc Alloy Base Casting Five Times Stronger Than Aluminum

The Kupo CT-BSB Turtle Base in black is a replacement base designed for Master C-Stands with a turtle base. It provides a durable mounting point and allows you to repurpose existing stand columns for low-angle or specialty support. The design focuses on strength, quick operation, and straightforward maintenance.

Key features

• Replacement base for Master C-Stands: Designed specifically to replace or upgrade the base on Master C-Stands that use the turtle-style base.
• Zinc alloy base casting: The base uses a zinc alloy casting that is five times stronger than aluminum, giving it the strength to handle demanding on-set use.
• Supports heavy loads: Built to sustain the weight of heavy sandbags and even people standing on the base when required for stability.
• Hollow junior pin receiver: The receiver is hollow so debris can pass through, which makes cleaning and maintenance easier.
• Patented spring ring locking system: The locking system lets you open and close the base in under a second for fast setup and breakdown.
• Versatile low-stand use: You can use the base as a very low stand for backlites or adapt it to different types of stands with various extension columns.

Practical uses

Use the CT-BSB as a direct replacement on Master C-Stands to restore or improve base performance. Additionally, employ it as a very low stand for backlight positioning or other low-angle lighting needs. Because it supports heavy sandbags and can bear weight from people, you can rely on it for robust, stable setups where extra ballast or foot pressure is required.

Maintenance and handling

The hollow junior pin receiver helps prevent build-up by allowing dirt and debris to pass through. As a result, you can perform cleaning and routine maintenance more quickly. Meanwhile, the patented spring ring locking system reduces the time you spend opening and closing the base during repeated setups, improving speed on set.

Compatibility notes

This base is intended for Master C-Stands with the turtle base configuration and can also work with different stands that accept similar extension columns. It provides a strong, low-profile option when you need a stable base at minimal height.
