Flashpoint C-Stand Traveler Kit, 3 10' C (Century) Light Stands W/Slinger Case
Why settle for less when you can have the Flashpoint 10' Century C Stand Kit, a testament to the enduring tradition of robust and reliable light and modifier supports for both cinema and still studios This C Stand kit is a comprehensive solution, featuring a 10', two-tier spring-loaded riser column with a baby pin on top, removable turtle self-locking base legs, 2 aluminum 3.0" grip heads, and a 40" extension boom arm. The stand base is engineered with a unique sure-locking mechanism, exclusive to the C Stand series, ensuring each leg sets firmly to a preset lock position for effortless swing setup and flat storage and transport. The legs can be swung to any angle, breaking free from the fixed leg stance of traditional stands. The 'Turtle Base' design offers an exceptionally low center of gravity, balancing off-axis gear without tipping the assembly, especially when secured with saddlebag style sandbags. The unique staggered curved leg design allows for nesting of C Stands, enabling multiple stands to be used in close proximity. The lower leg can also be slid under many objects, providing versatility in setup.The kit's extension gobo rod arm fits seamlessly into the aluminum 3.0" grip heads, supporting light modifiers, arms, scrims, cantilever flags, gobos, or smaller lights, into the exact position. The 5/8" diameter arm and Grip/Gobo/KnuckleHead combination can be used as a short boom, proving invaluable on still life sets, supporting everything from reflectors to soup spoons in clamps. The cast aluminum head design features interlocking facing surfaces to maintain a fixed position when supporting accessories on the steel arm in one of its four 3/4", 5/8", 3/8", and 1/8" diameter channels. The jaws open to a maximum of 1-1/8" to hold rods, dowels, and studs. The channel disks pivot about the center tightening handle and are grooved to hold firmly. When used atop light stands, it attaches via a 5/8" baby pin receiver hole with a choice of two places on the length for the tightening grip handle, taking best advantage of shorter studs on standard light stands or the included 5.5" longer baby pin ends on Century Stands. The name 'Century Stand' harks back to the early days of motion picture production when giant 100-inch reflectors, or 'century' reflectors, were used to illuminate film sets with sunlight. Today's Century Stands, or C Stands, have evolved to become an indispensable tool in the image maker's inventory, retaining their ability to nest together just as they did in the past. The Flashpoint 10' Century C Stand Kit is indeed a 'must-have' for your studio.
