Kupo 40" Master C-Stand Overview

Utilize this black, 10.6' Master 40" Riser C-Stand with Sliding Leg from Kupo to mount your lighting equipment and a whole variety of light shaping tools and accessories. The Kupo Master C-Stand with Sliding Base has two spring-loaded legs that open in fixed positions, while the third leg is height-adjustable by loosening a locking knob and sliding it up and down the main riser section. This enables you to raise one leg higher than the others to level the stand on an incline or uneven terrain, or to mount your lighting equipment on a set of stairs.

C-Stands get their sizing from the length of their riser sections. This 40" double riser stand has two telescoping risers and one main section for a total of 60". Add the height of the base and you arrive at your maximum height. All Century Stands feature a unique base specially designed with three varied leg heights. This enables the user to stack or "nest" the stand bases so that the risers are just inches apart from one another for use in close proximity, mounting of lights and other grip equipment, or easy storage. This Master C-Stand features a zinc alloy casting on its base that's five times stronger than aluminum and can sustain the weight of heavy sandbags or a person standing on the base. The aluminum cast locking collars are outfitted with a stainless steel heli-coil that protects the aluminum from being damaged by the knob's stainless steel bolt for strength and durability.

Kupo 40" Master C-Stand Reviews

My favorite turtle base

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-30

I've yet to be disappointed by any Kupo steel; it's all very sturdy stuff. Great arm with hexed end, great grip heads, great riser. I'm a big fan of the turtle base's pull-lock; it makes for instant setup and teardown, and safe since it's locking. Be advised if you want to multi-bag, a 15 lb. Impact sandbag just fits over the tall leg without touching the ground, but will touch the ground on the other legs.

This Kupo c-stand is so strong and sturdy! I can now set up my lights, big soft boxes, reflectors, etc on this stand with confidence that it can safely hold the weight. Thanks Kupo, and a big thanks to B&H for the fast reliable delivery as well!

question

Does the large leg slide up?
Asked by: Robert
No. You want one of the sliding leg models for that. Look at Kupo Grip's web site. Having said that, I have several of the turtle base models and love them. Great design and construction.

question

Can this be used as backdrop stand? If so, is there a compatible variable pole? Finally, will these hold more than one backdrop at a time? Thanks so much.
Asked by: Monique R.
Some have used C-stands like this one to hold a single roll of seamless paper, particularly in the smaller 2ft or 4.5 ft widths while being secured with standard spring clamp. If your intention is to hold multiple background at one time, you may be better off getting a background support which offers an adjustable cross and which can hold different types of backgrounds. One such option is the Savage Multiple Polevault System (12.6' Width) B&H # SABGSMPV which can hold up to three backgrounds. Please see the image below for reference.
