Review Summary

Heavy and rock solid, perfect for my studio. If you travel to locations, beware it is heavy but that's what makes it so sturdy. I like that it comes with the original grip arm for the stand as well as the boom arm. If I just want to hold a flag or background, I can quickly swap out the boom for the grip.

Good quality c stand! It feels sturdier than some of the cheaper ones I own and came with a bonus baby pin.

I bought this on sale for roughly $100. I expected to get a medium-weight C stand that would be just enough to handle a small strobe and four-foot softbox on the boom. What I got was one of the sturdiest C stands I've ever seen. I think it will last me the rest of my life, and it's more than a match for any demands I will put on it. Thank you, Adorama!

I just got it today, it took me five minutes to put together and use it. It is heavier than I expected, it's solid. I find it easy to use. It didn't have any instructions but I've used them before. I extended the gobo arm out with a beauty dish, which is about 7lbs, with a light and battery, another 5 pounds. It held it up with ease. I'm reayy happy with this purchase. Now I can finally not worry about not having a good C stand.

This is my second time ordering this stand. I love the spring loaded aspect to it. Holds a lot of weight. Will get this again if I am in need of another stand.

Are they perfect? No. Will Cstand snobs look down upon you? Yes. Do they hold your light just as well as any other option and last just as long? Yes. They are great option for the price. If they changed the bottom swing out design it would be an easy 5star. But I'm sure they would cost more then. Its a plus that you can remove the legs post easier pack down if you ever need to fly / travel with them. A feature usually reserved for the ritzy snobby cstands.

I bought this for a friend setting up a studio on a budget. Seem like a reasonable experiment. When they arrived and we pulled them out, I was really pleased about the build quality and attention to detail. They feel a little heavier but if they live in the studio, it's not a problem.

All else being OK I have one issue. The grip arm accepts only the gobo heads supplied. I have other gobo heads that are too small to accept. I would reconsider next time buying this brand turtle base kit.

This stand lasted me maybe 3 photoshoots before the first piece broke. After that I couldn't do much of anything with it as it would just turn in any breeze.

Sturdy and Stable
By James B.
I love my Flashpoint C-Stand! I had purchased an Xplor 600 Monolight and I was leary about mounting it on my lightstand. When I put my Xplor 600 on my C-stand I could tell that it was sturdy because my light didn't move at all. My C-stand opens up more possiblities and postitions due to the grip arm. I highly recommend it.
Great value!

Great value purchase! Very sturdy stand. Very confident it can easily hold a Flashpoint Xplor 600!
When it comes to professional-grade support for lighting and modifiers, the Flashpoint 10' Century C Stand Kit stands out as a robust and reliable choice for both cinema and still studios. This kit embodies the storied tradition of C Stands, offering secure and powerful support with its 10-foot, two-tier spring-loaded riser column that culminates in a versatile baby pin on top. The removable turtle base features self-locking legs that ensure stability and ease of use, with a unique sure-locking mechanism that sets this C Stand series apart.
Crafted from durable steel with a sleek chrome finish, this C Stand kit is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use, supporting equipment with a load capacity of up to 30.1 to 31 lbs. The stand's adjustable nature is highlighted by its 40-inch extension boom arm and two aluminum 3.0" grip heads, which allow for precise positioning of light modifiers, arms, scrims, flags, gobos, or smaller lights. The boom arm, with its 5/8" diameter, paired with the Grip/Gobo/KnuckleHead combination, can also function as a short boom, proving invaluable for intricate set designs and supporting a variety of objects from reflectors to small props.
The stand's base is ingeniously designed with a 'Turtle Base' that offers an exceptionally low center of gravity, ensuring stability for off-axis gear without the risk of tipping - ideal when used with sandbags. The staggered, curved leg design not only allows for multiple C Stands to be nested closely but also enables the lower leg to slide under furniture and other objects for versatile placement.
The kit's gobo rod arm seamlessly integrates into the grip heads, which feature cast aluminum construction with interlocking surfaces to maintain a fixed position. The grip heads are equipped with four different diameter channels (3/4", 5/8", 3/8", and 1/8") and can open up to 1-1/8" to accommodate a variety of rods and studs. The pivot disks are grooved to ensure a firm hold, enhancing the stand's adaptability.
The Flashpoint 10' Century C Stand Kit is not just a tool but a legacy, tracing its origins back to the days of motion picture production when 'Century Stands' were pivotal in supporting large reflectors to harness sunlight on set. Today, this kit continues to be an indispensable asset in the arsenal of photographers and filmmakers, offering unparalleled support and versatility for creative lighting and staging in any studio environment.
