The 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. C-Stands are still widely used to this very day, by both photographers and movie makers alike due to their robust and sturdy build quality. They are also capable of holding fairly heavy equipment such as large light banks, and strobes with large or heavy modifiers.

C Stands are characterised by their nested/collapsible tripod base (also known as a “turtle base”) with a lock system. The stepped height of each of the base legs allows individual legs to be set at any angle and also allows multiple stands to be used in closer proximity than you can with regular light stands. It is equipped with one 5/8 inch spigot, 2 of 2.5" grip head and 50" boom arm, which can conveniently hold studio lights, softboxes and other accessories, such as gobos, flags or bounce cards.

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. It also features a 50 inch boom arm and 2x 2.5inch grip heads. It has a minimum height of 145cm and can be extended up to 300cm and has a maximum load capacity of 11kg.

This C-stand is entirely made of metal with a stainless chrome finish. The boom arm is fully detachable allowing you to also use it as a regular C Stand. The legs can be folded flat requiring minimal storage space when not in use. This is the perfect piece of studio equipment for your next photographic venture.

Boom Stands are ideal for lighting your subject from directly over-head. They are also useful for times when you need to position your light centred above or below camera position without the stand getting in the way of your shot. Ideal for Hair-lights and for Clamshell, and Butterfly (or Paramount) lighting set-ups.

Q&A’s

i can see the c stand can support up to 11kg.....what is the maximum weight it an support if the boom is at its full lenght

Thanks for your queries. At the maximum length boom, the maximum load is 8kg. There will not be a problem for PIXAPRO C Stand to hold heavy item as it all makes of solid metal.However, we are highly recommend to place an counter weight either on the leg or bottom of the center pole to avoid it tipping over (not on the boom arm). Here is a link to the 4.5kg counterweight

Are all of the pieces metal as the black tightening knobs look plastic in the photos?

All parts of this C-Stand are metal (with the exception of the cable management clips). The tightening knobs are also metal, they just have a black rubber cap over them to protect it as shown in the photo below.

I want to mount my studio flash on to the end of the boom arm. Do I require any additional accessories to do this?

The boom that comes with this C stand has a standard 5/8" stud at the end of the boom, so you will be able to mount your studio flash onto the end of the boom without any additional accessories.

How do I open the fixed legs, do I need a special key to open them?

The legs are not designed to be unscrewed as they are tightened to ensure the stand is very sturdy. In order to open these legs you will need to pull the legs apart to separate them, as the c-stand is designed to be very heavy duty you will need to use quite a lot of force. On the collars of the legs there is a slight lip that keeps them locked in place, you will need to pull it out of this lip. This should cause it to move and if you continue to turn the leg is will then lock in place again to keep it secure.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to set the feet of my C-Stand up. Is there something I am doing wrong?

To set up the feet for your C-Stand, is loosen the sliding leg, and move it up the central column slightly, which will then give you the room to pull the remaining two legs apart as demonstrated in the video below. Please e aware that feet do require a bit of force to pull apart.

C-stand with 50 inch boom arm and adjustable foot

I purchased this product because I was looking for something with a little more flexability having an adjustable leg has given me this, I used this on a stair shoot and was perfect for the job. The overall build quality is superb, no issues with delivery, as always great price!

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
