Kupo 20in Master C-Stand

This Kupo 20in Master C-Stand with Turtle Base is a chrome-plated solid metal support designed for photographers, videographers and film makers who need a sturdy, portable lighting stand. Its patented spring ring locking system allows quick set-up and take-down, while captive locking T-knobs secure the column. The silver finish provides durability and a clean look for studio or location work.

Upgrade from basic light stands

The stand replaces lighter duty tripods that cannot handle heavy modifiers or precise height adjustments. It supports fixtures up to 22 lbs and extends from 36.8in to 68.1in, making the jump worthwhile when you need rock-solid stability for larger lights, flags or overhead rigs. The unique leg heights allow multiple stands to nest together, solving storage and transport crowding on busy shoots.

Limits of the C-stand format

The fixed 20in arm length and single column design restrict reach compared to combo stands with longer boom arms or junior receivers. Maximum load is capped at 22 lbs, so heavier HMI heads or large softboxes require a heavier duty stand. The Turtle Base offers a low centre of gravity but lacks wheels, limiting rapid repositioning on smooth floors unless paired with a separate dolly or the optional Kupo Runway base.

Questions about this item

What is the folded height of the 20in Master C-Stand for transport?

The stand folds down to 36.8 inches, making it compact enough to fit in most gear bags or vehicle boots.

How does the spring-ring locking system work when extending the column sections?

Pull each riser up until the patented spring ring clicks into the groove; the captive T-knobs then secure the section without separate loose parts.

What is the maximum load the C-Stand can hold before the Turtle Base needs checking?

It supports up to 22 lbs of fixtures or modifiers; inspect the base and knobs periodically if you regularly operate near that limit.
