This C-Stand comes supplied with a detachable 20” Boom arm with 2x 2.5” Grip heads for added versatility. The boom arm can be used to mount light fixtures enabling them to be positioned above or below your subject. It can also be used to hold accessories, such as reflectors, scrims, flags, etc.
The diameter of the arm is 19,2 mm. What is the diameter of the hole of the manfrotto where you put the arm in.If your camera does not have a rotating screen, it will be difficult for you to see that, so you’ll need an eye piece adapter like this one called a Right Angle Finder made for your camera. I really can’t find any information about where the name came from. I was told by an instructor of mine in school that it was a brand name, Century. But I can’t find any info on that either. There are several brands that make C Stands. I have a wild assortment of these that I’ve collected over 30 years made by all kinds of different companies. The PIXAPRO 2.5-inch C-Stand Grip Head enables you to mount various accessories such as boom arms, scrim frames, reflectors, flags etc. to your C-Stand or regular light stand. With its heavy-duty Stainless-steel construction, this grip head can effortlessly hold heavier accessories. It also features a standard 5/8-inch Baby-Pin connection, that enables it to be mounted onto virtually any C-Stand or light stand on the market. There are 100’s of items that are made that can attach to a C Stand arm. There aren’t a lot of ways to attach a camera, because of what I mentioned above.
It’s just for my 5D, so not a lot of weight. I’ve got sandbags so will make sure to counterweight for safety. They come in two sizes, a 40 inch stand or a 20 inch stand, also called a Shorty.

NEVER do I use a C-stand to rig any of my cameras on my jobs. It’s just not what professional photographers do. Also notice the tallest leg is in the direction of the arm. This will help to ensure that the stand won’t fall over. It only has three legs after all. So you are putting the weight over the largest leg.A Punky C-Stand is a 20" C-Stand with a smaller base and footprint than the standard 20" size. [12]

"40" C+Stand Spring Loaded Turtle Base". matthewsgrip . Retrieved 2019-11-06. You actually have no idea how happy this post made me! I shoot video regularly for clients but I’ve been using my Manfrotto tripod with the 90° arm. It’s a great piece of equipment, but we shoot on regular counters, and the tripod generally has to sit on the counter as the arm isn’t quite long enough. Already have C-Stands, so this is going to be a brilliant solution for me.Brown, Blain (2002). Cinematography: imagemaking for cinematographers, directors and videographers. Focal Press. p.252. ISBN 0-240-80500-3. The 161cm Studio C-Stand Stainless with 20” Boom is made from stainless steel, with a shiny chrome finish, which makes it extremely strong, and capable of taking loads of up to 10kg in weight. This makes them ideal for heavy light fixtures used in TV and Film productions, as well as in professional photographic studios. In film production, a C-stand (or Century stand) [1] [2] is primarily used to position light modifiers, such as silks, nets, or flags, in front of light sources. [3] The stand is constructed of metal and consists of a collapsible base, two riser columns, and a baby pin on top. In addition, a C-stand typically includes a gobo head and a gobo arm, also known as a grip head and grip arm, [4] which provide the ability to articulate a light modifier without moving the stand itself. The legs of C stands are designed to be nested, so many stands can be placed around a light source.
Hello Christina, I really enjoy your blog, particularly the wide variety of subjects you post. I have two C-stands currently, and my supplier told me that the name refers to the fact that they can go to 100-inches or higher. I’m not sure if this is correct, but it’s another theory.There are several different kinds of legs. Some are spring loaded, which can be very nice. Others, like the ones pictured above, can slide up the riser column, which can be handy for rigging in precarious situations. A C-stand with a removable base is called a C+ stand. The removable base is referred to as a turtle base. The opening at the top of the turtle base is a junior receiver. Turtle bases are great for setting up a light very low to the ground. [5] If my camera was heavier, the bag would go more towards the end of the arm behind the stand. Attaching A Camera Whilst C-Stands are predominately designed to be used as stands for heavy lighting and modifiers, they offer a wide range of different uses. In this Blog Post, we look into what C-Stands are and how C-Stands can be adapted to become a versatile piece of equipment for your studio.
