Sturdy classic style C-Stand with boom arm for the price. Are there better ones out there? Yes, but not for a similar price point. Don't hesitate to purchase.

Maybe the best value in C stands on the planet. The case, so good.

Flashpoint 10' C (Century) Light Stand on Turtle Base Kit w/40" Grip Arm & 2 Gobo Heads and Baby Pin - Chrome (Kit Of 3) is a great purchase, solid build, the extras you need and by getting three stands at a discounted price a thrifty way to save.

Awesome stands well made and gives you creativity flexibility. The finale shoot I used 1 Flashpoint Cstand 1 Flashpoint AD-200 Pro for main light over the flower and use a second clamp for my Flashpoint R2 Speed Light for bounce fill.

I got the kit with the wheeled case and was able to fit 4 c-stands and a small tripod and some other stuff. the case still works fine just it's really heavy.

This was exactly what I was looking for. In the past I was throwing C-stands in the bag of my rig and it was hard to keep them from getting scratched. This bag is perfect for keeping them all neat and organized. Only bad thing, with three c-stands it is pretty heavy to lift in and out, but when pulling the wheels do the job.

Not as strong as a mathews stand, it has a little more sway. But it was cheap, worth the price, sturdy and still strong, and also has a travel case good for transportation and storage.

This is a great kit. The Stands are sturdy enough that I don't worry about the loads I put on them even medium loads boomed out. It's nice to have the extra gobo grip heads and baby pins to make getting lights into the right position easier. As always, practice proper C-Stand safety procedures and you'll not have to worry about things tipping over or falling. The case seems nice and durable, but I don't often use it since I stay set up in one location most of the time.

Everything in the kit is very well made. No quality issues here. I was pleasantly surprised that each C-stand came with an extra knuckle. Don't remember reading that in the details, but a welcome addition. The case fits all the pieces included plus a fair amount more depending on how heavy you are ok with it being.

They work very well. All the knobs can be tightened down well and the boom arm can hold lights as well as flags. The capacity is also true, I bought it because it said 30lb capacity as a stand and I have a 25lb Leko mounted on one with no issues. The one problem I had out of 4 stands was a rubber foot fell off so I taped it on.

These are very well built. Heavy, solid. They are not very portable, but once in place they are a joy to use.

Does the job. Threaded into my c-stand without an issue. It appears longer which is good considering there could be variation in bases.

This is my first c stand and im happy that I got it for less than a hundred dollars. when I got it I was happy with the sturdiness of the stand and was confused by a few things. 1. The gobo heads arnt like the ones that i see on youtube. the openings are circular instead of "square." im not sure if this decreases the grip of the heads any but its quietly alienating. 2. The ones i got did not have a way to control the spining of the central column peice. I do not know if this is on purpose. i talked to my rental house about it and they said that that was not normal and that it might be adjustable on the column with an allen key.

So glad that Adorama carries parts for their C-Stands. Lost one and wasn't able to use the knuckle without it. Fit with no problem.

Received these C-stands about a month ago and it does not disappoint, complete with the arms and sturdy. The build quality is quite nice and haven’t had any issues with it. I appreciate the small touches it comes with a nice rubber grip on the stand. Haven’t had any problems.

Nice way to carry 3 rugged C-Stands
Let the Flashpoint 10' Century C Stand Kit elevate your studio setup with its robust and reliable design, a true testament to the revered tradition of C Stands in both cinema and still photography environments. This comprehensive kit includes a 10-foot, two-tier spring-loaded riser column with a baby pin on top, a detachable turtle base with self-locking legs, two precision-crafted aluminum 3.0" grip heads, and a versatile 40" extension boom arm.
Crafted from durable steel with a sleek chrome finish, the stand is engineered for stability and longevity, boasting a load capacity of up to 30.1 to 31 lbs. The turtle base features a unique sure-locking mechanism exclusive to the C Stand series, ensuring each leg is firmly set in a preset lock position for swift setup and secure support. The legs can be independently positioned at any angle, offering flexibility beyond the fixed stance of traditional stands, and when not in use, they fold flat for efficient storage and transport.
The 'Turtle Base' is designed to provide an exceptionally low center of gravity, allowing for stable support of off-axis gear without the risk of tipping, especially when counterbalanced with sandbags. The staggered, curved leg design not only allows for nesting multiple C Stands in close proximity but also enables the lower leg to slide under furniture and other obstacles for versatile placement.
The kit's 40" extension gobo rod arm seamlessly integrates into the aluminum grip heads, enabling precise positioning of light modifiers, scrims, flags, gobos, or smaller lights. The 5/8" diameter arm, coupled with the Grip/Gobo/KnuckleHead assembly, can function as a short boom, proving invaluable on set for supporting a wide array of items from reflectors to intricate props.
The cast aluminum grip heads feature interlocking surfaces that maintain a secure hold when supporting accessories on the steel arm, which offers four different diameter channels (3/4", 5/8", 3/8", and 1/8"). The jaws of the grip heads open up to 1-1/8", accommodating rods, dowels, and studs with ease. The pivot disks are designed to friction hold firmly around the center tightening handle, ensuring your setup remains steadfast.
When mounted atop light stands, the C Stand connects via a 5/8" baby pin receiver hole, with two placement options for the tightening grip handle to optimize the use of shorter studs or the included 5.5" longer baby pin ends.
The Flashpoint 10' Century C Stand Kit is not just a piece of equipment; it's a legacy of the film industry's ingenuity, born from the necessity to harness natural sunlight with century-sized reflectors. Today, it stands as an indispensable tool in the arsenal of photographers and filmmakers, embodying the spirit of innovation and the pursuit of perfect lighting.
