40" Master C-Stand Kit

The Kupo Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit delivers a stable platform for studio and location lighting. It supports up to 22 lbs of equipment such as strobes and monolights. The kit includes a 40" grip arm with hex stud and a 2.5" grip head for precise positioning. Photographers and filmmakers gain a versatile, chrome-plated steel support system.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The steel construction and turtle base maintain stability under the full 22 lb capacity during extended shoots. The patented spring ring locking system keeps the legs securely open without slipping over time. Chrome-plated steel resists fatigue when the grip arm holds heavy modifiers at full 40" extension. The riser extends to 9.5 feet while preserving rigidity under continuous weight.

Installation and Common Issues

The spring ring mechanism allows the turtle base legs to open and collapse in under two seconds for rapid deployment. The riser detaches from the base for compact transport and low-angle configurations with a stand adapter. The 5/8" (16 mm) diameter grip arm fits standard grip heads without adapters. Users must ensure the textured arm surface is clean to prevent slippage under heavy loads.

Questions about this item

How stable is the 22 lb capacity stand when fully extended to 9.5 feet on uneven ground?

The chrome-plated steel riser and patented spring-ring locking system keep the 22 lb load steady at full 9.5 ft height; the turtle base legs level independently on uneven surfaces.

Which mounting hardware must I already own to attach a strobe or flag to the 5/8 in grip arm?

The 2.5 in grip head accepts standard 5/8 in (16 mm) spigots or baby pins, so any light or modifier with that stud fits directly.

Will the detachable riser work with my older low-profile base adapter for floor-level lighting?

Yes — the riser separates from the turtle base in seconds and mounts on any stand adapter with a 5/8 in receiver, letting you reuse legacy low-angle gear.
