Flashpoint 10.5' C Stand Kit with Turtle Base, 40" Grip Arm, Two 3" Gobo Heads, Baby Pin, Black

C Stand Kit for Cinema & Still Studios

The Flashpoint 10.5' Century C Stand Kit delivers secure, robust support for lights and modifiers in cinema and still studios. It includes a two-tier spring-loaded riser column with a baby pin, a 40" grip arm, two 3.0" gobo heads, and a removable turtle base with self-locking legs. The black non-reflective finish reduces unwanted highlights on set. This kit suits professionals needing a stable, versatile grip platform.

Practical Limits of the Turtle Base Design

The turtle base locks each leg at a 120-degree position for quick setup and folds flat for compact storage and transport. Individual legs can swing to any angle, breaking the fixed stance of classic stands. The staggered curved leg design allows multiple stands to nest closely, maximizing studio floor space. A shallow center of gravity resists tipping with off-axis loads, especially when weighed down with saddlebag-style sandbags. The lower leg can slide under objects for tighter positioning.

Spring-Loaded Riser Columns Protect Gear

The two-tier spring-loaded riser columns cushion sudden drops when loosening the column locks, reducing shock to mounted lights and modifiers. The column extends to 10.5' and terminates in a baby pin for direct accessory mounting. This damping feature is the key specification for users who prioritize equipment safety during frequent height adjustments. Without spring loading, a collapsing column can damage expensive fixtures.
