Impact 40" C-Stand with Turtle Base and Grip Arm Kit (40", Chrome)

The 40" C-Stand with Turtle Base and Grip Arm Kit from Impact is an industry-standard go-to lighting accessory used on practically every photo, video, and film set. The stand features steel and aluminum construction for strength, and it lives up to the name "century stand" for its durability and because it has at least a hundred different uses. The stand is made to industry-standard size, so it will perfectly fit on grip trucks or C-stand racks and carts. When combined with the 2.5" grip head and 40" grip arm, there's no better tool for supporting light fixtures, a wide variety of grip gear, and light-modifying gobos.

The removable turtle base features a junior 1-1/8" junior receiver that allows the riser to be removed and exchanged for a different-size riser or a stand adapter for low-angle shooting. Impact's unique quick release leg lock collar simplifies opening and closing the legs for rapid deployment and breakdown. Other unique features like hexagonal brake castings, welded legs, and custom locking knobs give these C-stands a classic, sleek, and streamlined look.

Industry-Standard Size
This 40" C-stand is designed to perfectly fit grip trucks or C-stand racks and carts. The legs are standard-sized to allow close nesting with comparable C-stands when several stands need to be deployed in a tight space.
Spring-Loaded Leg Lock
The spring-loaded leg locking collar allows for fast and easy deployment and breakdown with no twisting, turning, or wrestling with the legs. Once the locking collar is released, gravity takes over, and the legs simply fall into place in seconds.
Removable Turtle Base
The Turtle base allows the main riser to be detached for easy transportation when space for your gear is limited. Also, the turtle base incorporates a 1-1/8" junior receiver for when a light fixture or accessory needs to be mounted close to the ground.
Custom T-Handles
The C-stand's locking handles are designed with classic Hollywood in mind, but don't let the stylish look fool you. These large, ergonomic handles fit your hand, are easy to grip, and offer maximum torque for securing those valuable payloads.
5/8" Knurled Baby Pin
The simplest design advantage can save time and effort, especially if you've ever experienced a horizontally mounted light slipping out of position due to a poor grip on a smooth pin. The top baby pin is knurled for superior hold. Set your lights once, and they won't slip out of position.
2.5" Grip Head
The 2.5" grip head provides a 5/8" hole for grip arms and other baby-pin attachments, a 3/8" hole for gobos, and a 1/8" hole for securing the thin wires used for rigging accessories with metal wire. Beefy aluminum construction and a steel central bolt can secure light fixtures or other accessories, like booms, plus small butterfly and overhead frames.
40" Grip Arm
A staple on any film, video, or photo set, the included 40" grip arm is made of sturdy steel and engineered to securely hold most lights, light modifiers, and grip gear. The 40" grip arm features a hexagonal 5/8" baby pin tip and is ideal for rigging a moderately heavy light directly over the camera lens or hanging an accent or hair light above your subject.

Impact Rolling Case for Three 52" C-Stands

The Impact Rolling Case allows you to safely and efficiently travel with three C-stands with room for accessories.

This case holds three 52" removable-base C-stands plus grip arms and grip heads. Built for durability, the case features metal-reinforced styrene, which offers four-sided protection for your equipment while it keeps its shape under heavy loads. The case's interior features adjustable and/or removable dividers that let you customize the interior to your specific needs, and tie-down straps that secure your gear in place and prevent the stands from shifting or hitting together. The padded flannelette interior lining provides extra impact and scratch resistance.

This durable rolling case is covered in tough weather-resistant 900D ballistic nylon. A pair of silent-running polyurethane wheels and a padded pull handle on the top allow you to roll the case with ease, or if you'd prefer to hand-carry it, there is a padded top handle. A large, 2-way YKK zipper wraps around three sides of the top to give you full and unobstructed access to the interior for easy packing and unpacking. Rounding out the case's design is a zippered accessory pocket, plastic feet on the base and side that protect it when placed on the ground, and a clear ID card pocket.

Worked great the first weeks, now screw won’t screw in properly to hold the stand. Really disappointed, was expecting a heavy duty C stand such as this to last me several months.
