Impact LS-CT40M Reviews

Turtle Base is the Easiest

By Dylan Varian
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-08-11

Over the years I've used just about all of the different types of C-Stands like American, Matthews, etc. and the Impact Turtle Base stands are by far my favorite. And that's pretty unbelievable considering most of Impact's products are not too good.

Baby's First C-Stand

This is my first C-stand and I gotta say it's quite nice and sturdy. Not light but also not too heavy. And my cats can't scratch it so I can leave it out. If you're looking for your first c-stand, I would recommend this one.

Great C-Stand at a great price. Heavy of course - as you would expect, but that's a benefit too. A professional heavy duty C-Stand.

Riser tie-downs block gobo arm

By Antonio
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2023-07-11

Maybe I received a lemon, I noticed it right away but figured I could fix it if it became an issue. When open and properly set, the tie-downs on the riser post are in line with the smallest leg on the (right hand side if standing behind the stand), which is directly behind where the gobo arm should rest. This makes it incredibly aggravating to make simple adjustments on the arm, forcing you to have to work around the riser tie downs. I might be wrong, but the only fix I can see is to remove the smallest leg, spin the riser so that the tie downs are not in the way, and drill a new hole in the post to refasten the leg. I've worked on and repaired other industry standard C-Stands, but this one is a bit overly complicated. If not for that issue, it would be amazing.

Sturdy as a tank

This is my first C-stand so don't have anything to compare against, but it is significantly sturdier than the light stands I have been using. Materials are very solid, construction is very good, finish is nice and fittings are especially robust. I have been using it with a 51-inch umbrella extended out from the main support and there is no tendency for tipping; I put a sand bad on one foot just 'cause I have some but not really needed for my indoor use. Have yet to try it outdoor in the wind. Have not tried the overhead shot kit yet. Will probably us it for some indoor, still-live shoots eventually.

Great solid stands. Useful case that needs minor improvement

By Armon

For the price, these C-Stands are great. I especially like the locking mechanism for the base. It makes set-up a breeze. Everything is solidly built, and I never feel like anything is going to break. The included bag is super useful and has room for my additional grip heads and various accessories. There's also an outside pocket on the lid which I found useful for stashing my flag kit. The bases stow inside the lid, which is great in theory, but they need a little bit better retention. The velcro straps just aren't long/strong enough, so the bases WILL work themselves loose and beat around inside the case. All-in-all, the case is fine for local transport or traveling in a vehicle. I did end up shipping my stands and grip heads in the case for a travel shoot I had to fly for (with no rentals available in the area). I had FedEx stick the entire case in a long box to protect the outside of the case, which worked fine. The only thing is the interior padding/dividers didn't do a whole lot to protect against FedEx's usual rough handling (my oversight), so the stands got a bit beat up...purely cosmetic, which, in my experience, seems to be an inevitability for C-stands anyway. If I have to do it again, I'll stuff some foam or something in the voids to better protect the riser columns, which were most affected. But the case itself held up well and I cannot say enough about the quality of the stands themselves. I have not experienced the grips getting stuck as other reviewers have mentioned, but I always have a toolbox on set wherever I go, so if it happens, I'll be prepared.

Impact C stand

Very heavy (saying this as a positive). This thing will stay put. I really like the quick release lock for the legs. Locking handles very heavy duty, you can really crank it without straining your hand. I gave this a 4 star because the one I ordered had a slight bend in the boom arm. Doesn't seem like this bend should affect the performance.

Asked by: CURTIS
If you will be connecting the Godox AD400Pro Witstro All-in-One Outdoor Flash directly to the 5/8" stud on the top of the center column on the Impact Turtle Base C-Stand Kit (10.75', Chrome), then no additional adapter would be needed. If, however, you plan to connect the Godox AD400Pro Wistro All-In-One Outdoor Flash to the grip arm included with the Impact Turtle Base C-Stand Kit (10.75', Chrome), then I would recommend purchasing the Impact 6" Baby Pin with Collar 1/4 and 3/8" Tap, B&H # IMSRP110P. This would be inserted into the grip head on the grip arm, and would allow you to connect the Godox AD400Pro Wistro All-In-One Outdoor Flash onto the grip arm.
