Kupo CL-30MK 30" Master C-Stand – Sliding Leg Kit with Quick Release for Rapid, Stable Setup

Century Stands, commonly called “C” Stands, have served the filmmaking industry for decades. They provide strength and flexibility for mounting lighting equipment and a wide range of light-shaping tools and accessories. You can use a C-stand on its own or together with a grip head and grip arm to position lights and modifiers precisely.

Three-leg base designed for close placement and storage

All Century Stands feature a distinctive base with three legs of varied heights. This design lets you position, or “nest,” stand bases so risers sit just inches apart. As a result, you can mount multiple lights and grip tools in close proximity or store stands compactly when not in use.

What makes the Kupo CL Master C-Stand different

The Kupo CL Master C-Stand is the latest addition to Kupo’s C-stand series. It incorporates a patent-pending mechanical design that focuses on faster setup and reliable support on uneven ground. The stand includes a sliding leg kit and a quick-release mechanism to help you adapt to slopes or other challenging terrain.

How the sliding leg and quick release work

To adjust the legs for an incline or uneven terrain, unlock the knob on the longest leg. Then swing the legs into the correct positions in seconds. While the longest leg performs the leveling function and the spring-loaded locating pin engages, the middle leg holds the stand in place. This arrangement helps prevent accidental tip-over and maintains stable support for your mounted equipment.

FAQ

Question: Can I use this C-stand with a grip head and grip arm?

Answer: Yes. The description notes that C-stands are commonly used on their own or in combination with a grip head and grip arm to mount lights and light-shaping accessories.

Question: How does the sliding leg help on uneven terrain?

Answer: Unlock the knob of the longest leg and swing the legs into position. The longest leg can level the stand on an incline while the spring-loaded locating pin engages and the middle leg helps prevent tip-over, providing a stable setup on slopes.

Question: What does “nesting” the bases mean and why is it useful?

Answer: Nesting refers to positioning the three varied leg heights so risers sit just inches apart. This lets you place multiple stands close together for multi-light setups and also allows for more compact storage when the stands are not in use.
