Quick Release Legs
The unique quick release system requires only a slight twist to let the feet fall perfectly into place. Once open, no additional adjustment is required when using on level ground.

The sliding leg design allows one leg to be set at any height to position the stand on a curb or stairs and have the same solid support as on flat ground.

This sturdy double riser C-stand is designed to support a light fixture or accessory weighing up to 22 lb anywhere from 4.3 to 10.3'.
Heli-Coil Inserts
The stainless steel heli-coil brake inserts assure incredible gripping power and withstand a significant amount of torque without damaging the C-stand's brake casting.
Oversized Tubes
The stand features oversized tubes that will support lateral stress loads without flexing. Loads will be secure and won't wobble even at maximum load capacity set at maximum stand height.
Large T-Handles
Large, ergonomic T-handles are easy to grip and offer maximum torque for securing payloads.

Heavy Stand That Does the Job

By Brenden
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-18

I currently own 2 of these stands and have really been enjoying them. The locking base makes it really easy to open and close the stands in seconds with minimal effort. Compared to other C-stands I've used these are quite heavy to carry and move around, but it does make it so I don't need to bag them all the time. The black paint does chip off but that's to be expected when using them day-to-day.

Nicer design house-brand C-stand than the other store. 😉

I own C stands of this size from both B&H and the 'rama store, and while I like both stores, I prefer these shorty C-stands from B&H. The turtle base's locking mechanisms is noticeably superior and stronger, the chrome plated finisher on the riser and base is just so smooth and clean, and the locking knobs feel tighter (while at once feeling less difficult to open than the alternative). I prefer these 5.9' C-stands + a boom arm to add height over the taller impact C-stands, especially for on location work. If you need to get your lights/modifier really high or if you're using C-stands to mount your backdrop crossbar for subjects that are standing, I would go for the taller C-stands than these 5.9' stands, but for the majority of my uses, I'm a huge fan of these 5.9' stands and own multiple.

What's the width of the stand when it's collapsed and closed on the foot end? I'm trying to figure out whether it'll fit in my light stand guess. I,e How wide is are the legs when it's closed?
Asked by: Sapandeep
You will need a clearance of 11.5'' x 22'' when the feet are closed to pack your Impact C-Stand with Quick Release Sliding Leg (Chrome). I measure the sliding leg from the tension knob to the edge of the foot.
