question

Since the turtle base is removable, is the tall legs still able to go up and down the stand to accommodate standing on an uneven platform? It seem like it might not as the base is one assembly and the stand is another.
Asked by: Yi Fan C.
The C+ Stand does not have the sliding leg feature. This feature is available in the Sliding Leg C-Stand PN:756040

What are the dimensions of the base when collapsed? I want to see if it will fit in a pelican case I already own.
Asked by: Laura
I contacted Matthews concerning your inquiry. While they did not list the dimensions of the turtle base, they did state that they recommend the Pelican 1750 Long Case with Foam (Black), B&H # PE1750FB, for use with the Matthews Century C+ Stand with Removable Turtle Base, Black - 10.5'. It is the same case that is included with the purchase of the Matthews RoadRags C-Vival Kit - 18x24" (45.7x61cm), B&H # MARRCK, which includes the same light stand listed above.
