Great quality construction and operation. Everything feels substantial and well designed. A bit heavy but that's true for all c-stands!

You can't go wrong with Matthews when it comes to C-stands and this one is no exception. Solid build and will last a lifetime. Great value

Perfect for film production. They unfold easily and are heavy duty. I haven't had a problem with them.

These are century c-stands and they do work, but for the money they don't come close to the Impact century c-stands that I have. Comparing these to the Impact c-stands the Impact stands use larger diameter posts (read heavier) for the bottom post that attaches to the base. The Impact stand has the locking ring to lock the legs at the base, the Matthews does not. The Impact stands are more substantial and appear to be better made. Since the price for the Matthews and the Impact are almost identical, in the future I will buy more Impact c-stands.

This is a prime example of price not being a reflection of quality. This c-stand is amazingly sturdy, durable, and easy to use!

With this C-Stand and grip kit I can easily position the light in just about any way I can think of. Bare head? No problem! 70" Octabox? NO PROBLEM!

Position it directly over models without a care in the world!

And yes, I will be buying a lot more of this product for the studio.

Great for holding lights. Functions as well as any other C-Stand I've used. I've used Avenger stands, but I see no benefits to paying more for the Avenger stand.

Durable, sturdy, and reasonably priced.

This stand with its arm and grip head is very versatile, you can set it up it in very useful ways. The height is perfect, it gets pretty high, the sliding leg is a really nice plus for the stand.

I use it for lights, flags, filters, cycloramas, etcetera on films and commercials.

It is very well built, you can use it for very heavy things, you will need sand bags on the base legs when using the arm.

I use this product for studio strobes. Extremely impressed with the build quality, especially in comparison to the cheap stands I was using before. Sure, they are a bit heavy, but that comes with territory.

Overall quality, build, and general feel is excellent.

As of yet, no negatives to report in regards to this product.

Would definitely by more of these, if I required them - without hesitation.

It's a C-stand. I've always meant to get one because they are so useful. They can hold flags, lights, random set pieces, anything. And I can tell that it will last a LONG time. It's solid, well made and going to be a part of my kit for a long time.

This stand will probably still be working long after I retire. It is a must on a set . It is basically indestructible. Great asset.

Comments about Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m):

So many uses. Beats a regular light stand any day.

Comments about Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m):

Rock solid steel construction. Flat legs for easy sandbagging. A heavy duty grip head and arm. I have purchased 3 so far and will undoubtably purchase more! A Hollywood classic for good reason.

Comments about Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m):

This stand is totally solid, bomber proof, perfect for scrims that have to be extended out a ways (since the base of this is heavy). The grip head's are pro and allow different options for attachments.

This thing is a beast. Rock solid stand and is very versatile. Anyone who doesn't have one of these is just plain missing out. Just buy one already.

Incredible value, great rocky mountain leg c-stand

Comments about Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m):

I am a professional film maker. I bought this to supplement my own indie films. The stand is solid and great for use uneven ground. My only complaint is that the base is not removable and the legs are awkward to fold. the spring loaded c-stand bases are more to my liking.

Comments about Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m):

Very sturdy C-Stand. The adujstable leg can be helpful in tight corners or in stairs. It seems like it is built strong enough that it doesn't reduce the stand durability.

Comments about Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Arm Kit - 10.5' (3.2m):

I was using light stands for a while and it became obviously clear that they are good for certain things but not for others. This C stand is great and it is built very nicely and you can tell it's a quality product.
