Matthews C+Stand 40" Turtle Base Reviews
Best Stand on the Market.
As a sound recordist, this is truly the best stand on the market. The removable turtle base allows for easy transportation and the stainless steel design looks sleek and professional. Matthews is my go-to brand for grip products and crews enjoy the fact that I no longer need to bother them for C-Stands during interview shoots. A must-buy for all video professionals!
Well-built and not bulky
Several years ago, I owned a couple of C-stands from another brand, but found them to be quite bulky and heavy. The Matthews stand is lighter, knobs are more compact (but still very easy to use), all without any compromise on stability or load capacity. I now have six stands total: three of these 10.5' versions and three of the 5.25' versions. All are the C+ variants with turtle base. The stands are also very easy to maintain, and while I have not had to replace any parts yet, really happy that all parts can be obtained. The heaviest load I use these with comes to just under 19 lbs, so within the 22 lb maximum. Though with that load, I have not needed to extend the risers to their maximums.
