Kupo 40" Master C-Stand Overview

The 9.7', silver 40" Riser C-Stand Turtle Base Kit from Kupo is outfitted with a patented spring ring locking system that removes all tension from the legs so that gravity can do the work for you. With the turtle base, the riser section can be quickly removed from the base for easy transportation and the base can be used with a stand adapter for a low mounting position.

The 40" Grip Arm with Hex Stud is a 2.5" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing 16mm in diameter and finished with a faceted hex stud to keep lighting fixtures in position when they are placed on the end of the arm. The grip head consists of a pair of rotating aluminum discs attached to a 16mm receiver. The discs have four different sized V-shaped jaws to accept any accessory with a 5/8", 1/2", 3/8" or 1/4" mounting stud or tubing. The V-shaped jaws have teeth that grab whatever is mounted between the plates securely. The 2.5" grip head features an oversized ergonomic T-handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque.

Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base (Silver, 9.7')

The silver, 9.7' Master C-Stand with Turtle Base from Kupo is used for mounting lighting equipment and a variety of light-shaping tools and accessories.

The C-Stand is a steel support with two risers and three sections that fully extend to a height of 9.7'. One great feature is the "turtle" base that detaches completely from the riser, allowing you to mount a light to it. The base has the classic wide, stable "C"-type legs that accommodate easy sandbagging and straddling of obstacles, folding flat for easy transport and storage. The detached riser can be used like a "trombone" or telescoping arm with the addition of the appropriate clamp or accessory. This 40" C-Stand features a 5/8" Baby Stud and patented ring-locking system that enables fast setup and breakdown.

Kupo 2-1/2" Grip Head With Big Handle (Chrome-Plated Finish)

The 2-1/2" Grip Head With Big Handle from Kupo has four V-shaped jaws, an ergonomic oversized T-shaped handle with dedicated roller bearings for maximum torque, and a non-slip aluminum friction disc. This durable grip head is made of aluminum and steel and has a chrome-plated finish.

Kupo 40" Hex Grip Arm with Big Handle (Silver)

With a silver machined finish, the Kupo 40" Hex Grip Arm with Big Handle has a 2-1/2" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing, which is 5/8" (16mm) in diameter. The surface of the tubing is machined to create a rough texture to ensure a non-slippery surface. The 2-1/2" grip head consists of a pair of rotating aluminum discs attached to a 5/8" (16 mm) receiver. The discs have 4 different sized V-shaped jaws to accept any accessory with a 5/8, 1/2, 3/8, or 1/4" mounting stud or tubing.

The V-shaped jaws feature teeth that securely grab whatever is mounted between the plates securely. The 2-1/2" grip head features an oversized ergonomic T-handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque. At the end of the 40" grip arm, you will find a baby hex-pin with 6 milled flat surfaces.

You can mount your light fixtures or accessories on the end of your grip arm like a mini boom. They won't rotate due to the set-screw of that fixture or accessory, locking onto one of the sides of the hex-pin. The grip head uses a non-slip aluminum friction disc that maintains its durability over time, offering the user positive locking strength and precise control. The grip head is constructed around a solid steel central bolt with a fixed solid pin to secure it to the aluminum casting for increased strength and durability.

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.

Hi I want to know is there anything else that I need to purchase in order to use this c-stand with my elinchrom elb 500 ttl? I want to reverse mount my lights in the deep octa and shallow octa and be able to pivot the light/modifier. Thanks for your help.

You would need an adapter such as the Kupo Baby 5/8" Receiver to Stud Adapter for Elinchrom Heads, B&H # KUKG013212. https://bhpho.to/2Yz3ShI

question

What's the maximum weight the stand can hold?
Asked by: Anonymous
The stand itself is so heavy-duty, I can't imagine overloading it. It weighs a ton, and is very well constructed. You will probably need to sand bag the base for balance though, depending on how far out on the arm you place your load. I use two 16 lb. saddle bags just to be sure.
