Kupo KS301012 Overview

Already a legend in Asia, Kupo has introduced a line of high-quality grip gear aimed at videographers, broadcast professionals, and photographers everywhere. Durability, exacting standards of manufacturing, and dependability are hallmarks of the Kupo name.

This Kupo Runway Stand Base is an ideal base for heavy lights or other studio equipment like wind machines. The base features heavy-duty braked casters and a 1-1/8" receiver that is usually used for C-stand risers. Alternatively, you can use a stud adapter such as Kupo's KG006312 to mount gear directly to the stand to work close to the ground. The base folds for easy storage.

Kupo KS301012 Reviews

Very sturdy base

By Raul
Rated 5 out of 5

Mostly, I've used it for regular tasks like holding a light on a C-Stand riser but also as a poor man's camera stand in narrow spaces where a tripod wouldn't fit and also to do some repro work of rugs that couldn't be moved from the floor. it has a relatively small diameter so common sense dictates adding a sandbag to avoid tipping it. Beats having to lift an entire C-Stand rig.

Smooth and Easy

Love these for on location filming. Of course you can't use it everywhere but when we are filming on flat surfaces we can move these bad boys around. They roll smooth and can handle lots of attachments including a directors monitor and moonlights. Easy to fold and easy to apply the foot brake. I haven't found a great way to store them yet. Right now they live on the floor under my c-stands.

Asked by: Diego
The manufacturer states that the dimensions of the Kupo Runway Stand Base are 4.69 x 6.06 x 5.2 inches (11.9 x 15.4 x 13.2 cm). The MFR only lists the length of the unit when closed/folded; the closed length of the base is 17.25" (43.82 cm).

Will this work with a flashpoint c stand?

Will this work with a flashpoint c stand?
Asked by: Anonymous
Sorry I don't know. I have several Kupo Runway Stands Bases to work with my Matthews C-Stands column pole risers. They work perfectly together. I also purchased several Kupo column pole risers (MFR#KS705112) to work with the runway stands. Kupo is a solid product but a little heaver than the Mattews C-stands but no regrets. If the Kupo Runway Stand Base works with your Flashpoint C stand pole risers and you have two of them. I would purchase 2 Kupo bases. Easier and safer to roll two stands connected together than to physically pick up and move across the room. Well, I don't know if this helps you out. -Don

question

Would this work with an Avenger C-stand?
Asked by: Karen L
I have purchased two of these stands thusfar...and although they are well made they DO NOT fit the average c-stand 1 1/8" riser?? We have 3 different ones here (Impact, and avenger) and none of them fit into the receiver? When I threw a caliper on the Riser and the receiver it is indeed two different sizes.

question

will this work with Matthew c stands?
Asked by: linton c.
Yes, I have 5 Matthew turtle base C-stands that I can convert to rolling stands within a moments notice when on location. Just make sure to sand bag the stands properly. I use so called donut sandbags with great success that distributes the weight evenly.

question

Will this fit onto the Dana dolly system?
Asked by: Matthew
I can't imagine how this runway stand base would work with a Dana doll. This is a roller base. Insert a C-Stand riser column into it's receiver, and you've got a rolling light or monitor stand. Very sturdy and a good buy.
