Review Summary
2024-08-20T08:37:08
Bought one of these after buying some other Flashpoint light stand related products and being happy with those products. Price of it compared to other similar brands was what made me want to give one a try. So far the quality of it is well worth the price. The stand is made very well; the t-handle grips are a good size and make adjustments easy and comfy, grip heads stay locked down once tightened, o-rings between each riser section, and the legs deploy/close easily. I have C-Stands from other brands like Matthews, Avenger, Kupo, and Impact, and this one so far is right up with those. Will definitely be buying more soon.

You can elevate your professional photography and videography setups with the Flashpoint 40" Quick Release Turtle Base C-Stand Kit, featuring a 2.5" Grip Head and 40" Grip Arm, all finished in a sophisticated chrome. This high-quality kit is engineered for durability, reliability, and versatility, making it an essential tool for industry professionals.
At the core of this innovative kit is a spring ring locking mechanism that simplifies adjustments by harnessing the power of gravity, allowing for smooth and intuitive changes to your setup. The turtle base design is a standout feature, offering quick detachment of the riser from the base for enhanced portability. This base can also be repurposed with a stand adapter, enabling low mounting positions and adding to the kit's versatility.
The included 40" Grip Arm is a testament to the kit's sturdy construction. It boasts a 2.5" grip head permanently mounted on a 40" steel tube with a 16mm diameter, culminating in a faceted hex stud designed for a secure connection with lighting fixtures. The grip head itself is composed of two rotating aluminum discs with a 16mm receiver, featuring four V-shaped jaws that can accommodate a range of accessory sizes, from 5/8" to 1/4", ensuring adaptability to various equipment.
The robust steel structure of the Flashpoint C-Stand includes two risers and reaches an impressive maximum height of 9.7 feet. The detachable turtle base not only streamlines transport but also doubles as a secondary mounting point for lights. The base's wide "C" type legs provide solid stability, are sandbag-friendly, and can navigate around obstacles, offering flexibility in placement. When it's time to pack up, the base folds flat, and the riser can be used as a telescoping arm with the appropriate clamp or accessory, expanding your creative options.
This C-Stand is equipped with a 5/8" Baby Stud and a proprietary ring-locking system for quick and secure assembly and disassembly. The 2.5" Grip Head is designed for a firm hold, with an ergonomic T-shaped handle and roller bearings for maximum torque. The aluminum friction disc prevents slippage, while the combination of aluminum and steel in its construction ensures the grip head's stability and longevity.
In summary, the Flashpoint 40" Quick Release Turtle Base C-Stand Kit is a transformative addition for creatives who demand precision, versatility, and unwavering durability from their equipment. Whether working in-studio or on location, this kit supports your vision with professional-grade stability and ease, making it an indispensable component of your photography and videography gear collection.
