How To Separate the Feet of a PiXAPRO Century C-Stand
The PIXAPRO C-stand (or Century Stand) are widely used by both photographers and movie makers alike due to their robust and sturdy build quality. They are also capable of holding heavy equipment such as large light banks, and strobes with large or heavy modifiers due to the solid stainless-steel metal construction. The very sturdy & strong stand is perfect for tool for any portrait, beauty, product, fashion photographers or videographers, in a studio fixed location who use large modifiers.
The master C Stand (or Century Stand), comes from the early days of motion picture production. The C-stand was widely used to hold up large reflectors which were used to catch and reflect the sunlight to illuminate the set before the introduction of artificial lights later on. It is a sturdy durable light stand to hold any lighting using the traditional universal 5/8” spigot. This is the most popular fixture for lights or flashes which covers the vast majority currently available on the market, with a maximum load capacity of 10kg. The detachable base also includes a 1-1/8” junior-pin receiver, for heavier lights such as Arri lights used in large productions.
It features a heavy duty 50” boom arm attached using the 2.5” grip heads, this allows you to position your lighting in angles not available to normal stands. This works great for use as an overhead light, hair light or copy stand. The included grip heads also allow you to use additional modifiers with your stands like flags, diffusers or reflectors.
The 9’ 8” universal light stand is perfect for use in the studio with heavier light and modifier combinations, due to the solid stainless-steel construction. This particular C Stand features a unique sliding leg which can be moved up and down the central column to allow you to use your C-Stand on uneven surfaces. So slopes, stairs or even rocks or if you are shooting on location won’t be an issue with this C Stand. The turtle base legs have a large footprint diameter giving you a stable stand for your equipment and maximum stability.
The PIXAPRO Heavy Duty C-Stand is entirely made of metal with a stainless chrome finish & can be extended to a full length of 300cm (118”), which can then collapse right down to 145cm minimum height, making it storable and portable, an all-round excellent stand to use for general use.
PIXAPRO 300cm C-Stand features a thick sturdy central column which has a spring-loaded dampening system which prevents sudden drops to minimise the risk of damaging your equipment or causing injury to yourself.

Love it
Very heavy, rock solid and beautifully made, very reassuring when you've got expensive lights and larger modifiers fitted. I now have two of them so that should show how pleased I am
