Professional Lighting Support Kit

The Flashpoint 40" Quick Release Turtle Base C-Stand Kit provides a complete support system for studio strobes, monolights and accessories. It includes a 2.5" grip head permanently mounted on a 40" steel tube with a 16mm diameter and a faceted hex stud for secure fixture connection. The spring ring locking mechanism uses gravity for smooth, intuitive height adjustments up to 10 feet. This kit is built for photographers and videographers who need reliable, heavy-duty positioning.

Stable Chrome Construction

Robust metal construction with a chrome finish delivers superior stability for loads from 19.1 to 25 lbs, keeping heavier lighting equipment secure during use. The quick-release turtle base allows the riser to detach rapidly for transport or low mounting positions when paired with a stand adapter. Despite its strength, the stand disassembles to a closed length of 51-52 inches, making it practical for on-location shoots where portability matters.

Grip Head Versatility

The grip head uses two rotating aluminum discs with a 16mm receiver and four V-shaped jaws that accept a range of accessory diameters. This replaces fixed mounting points and lets you position flags, scrims or lights at precise angles without additional hardware. The jump is worth it when you need a single kit that combines high load capacity, 10-foot reach and rapid base detachment for both studio and location work.

Questions about this item

How do I install the riser onto the quick-release turtle base, and what step is often missed?

Slide the riser into the base until the spring ring locks with an audible click, then pull down firmly to confirm it is seated — skipping that pull-down check is the step people miss.

What maintenance or replacement will the 2.5 inch grip head and 40 inch grip arm need over time?

Wipe the chrome finish and 16 mm steel tube after each shoot, lubricate the spring ring and V-jaws monthly, and replace the grip head discs if the 16 mm receiver develops play.

What limit appears first when the stand is loaded to 25 lbs and extended to 10 feet?

The 16 mm diameter grip arm will flex before the 25 lb capacity is reached, so keep the arm shorter or add a sandbag when near maximum height.
