Key Features

  • Junior to Baby Pin Adapter
  • 40" Stainless Steel Grip Arm
The 5.3, chrome-finished stainless steel 20" Chrome C-Stand with Grip Arm Kit from Savage presents a new twist on an age-old design for a support that's an industry standard. The stand's stainless steel double risers have a 5/8" top stud for lights with a matching receiver. The removable turtle-type base allows you to replace the double riser with the included Junior to Baby pin adapter for low-angle shooting or with the kit's additional 20" riser. Another benefit is the "lazy" or "Rocky Mountain" leg that can be elevated for balance on uneven surfaces. One of the legs also has a 1 1/8" receiver that accepts the 20" riser for supporting fixtures in tight places.

Good

I like the design, but you should be aware that you must tighten the knobs firmly. I had one section a bit too loose with a Godox VL150 and a Aputure light dome II while I was testing it and the pipe fell down. I screwed the knob tighter and it was good to go, but you must put in a lot of force to get it to be stable. I would be worried to have other crew members mess this up and break a lamp, so I will probably only bring it on small shoots where I can give clear instructions to my team on this issue. The same thing goes for the additional 20 riser. The clamp to secure it to the main section for transport is stiff and needs to be tighten strongly to hold it. Even when you think it is secured, it tends to slip and fall. I just hope the parts can handle such high levels of force applied. I like the versatility of this stand but I will probably only bring it on small projects unless the stiffness disappears over time.
