The Kupo C-Stand Overhead Shooting Kit 1 offers simplicity to content creators and professional photographers. Ideal for a multitude of uses when it comes to overhead shooting, such as jewelry, food, and flat lay, this versatile system provides fast setup and breakdown while allowing for various grip options. These tools are helpful when adjusting for angles and heights difficult to achieve with a regular tripod. The kit includes a hex stud.
Utilize this silver, 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.
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.
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.
The Super Grip Finger with Round Camera Plate from Kupo is heavy-duty, all-metal, adjustable ball head that has two ways to attach gear: a 1/4"-20 male thread located in the center of the round camera plate for your camera, and a TVMP adapter on the bottom for quickly attaching to stands, booms, cranes, and similar equipment. A ratchet handle allows you to tilt the head up to 115°, and the elliptical knob located near the base makes it easy to rotate your gear 360° horizontally. For added stability, the round camera plate features three set screws that help hold your camera in place while attached.
This 10 lb Wrap & Go Shot Bag from Kupo is used to wrap itself around the base of a light stand and weighs it down, preventing the top-heavy stand from falling over. The Wrap & Go Shot Bag can also be hung from the end of a boom pole to give balance and stability to a light fixture.
The bag is made from a black Cordex textured nylon, and the underside has a polyurethane coating which makes it water-resistant and durable against the elements. What gives its weight to the shot bag is the 2mm-sized steel balls, which completely fill the bag and are sealed within.
