Questions & Answers

DP B : What are the differences between the Hollywood Century C Stand and the Hollywood Pro Century C Stand?
Dewitt H : I want to mount a strobe with a beauty dish. Does this kit have what I need or do I also need to buy a mini boom if I just want butterfly lighting on a single subject?Rob F : I mount the strobe directly to the Hollywood arm. You can undo the clamp, take off the arm and mount it on the vehicle shaft. I use these all the time in the studio and have been buying them for home.PETER S : I bought this stand to use with a mola Beauty Dish. Originally I purchase a $9. baby pin as well to mount the head on. But after a few times I just started mounting the head directly to the end of the boom and using the grip on the opposite side as a counterweight or to hold a sandbag. For butterfly you could add a super clamp lower on the stand.POOJA A : Mine came with stand and boom arm. I could mount my strobe and beauty dish easily
NGOC T : Is its turtle base removable?DAVID K : No. As far as I can tell the base is not conveniently removable. It can technically be removed but it would be a hassle to put it back together.DAVID B : Base Not Removeable.KEVIN M : No. It's not removable.CHARLES W : It is not removable, but the legs rotate to align in a flat position.

You need at least one

Once you have used a C stand you will wish you had bought one years ago. Solid,versatile and adaptable to a variety of uses.I use it mostly to hold a large diffuser and sometimes a beauty dish or softbox in positions that are not possible with a regular stand.

Best Designed C-Stand

Before buying the Matthews C-Stand, I bought some C-Stands from other brands. They seemed to work well enough, at least until I had to take them somewhere. Then I needed to find a silly Allen wrench to loosen the stand legs and collapse them. Matthews stands have a better build quality than my other brands, but it's designed well enough enough to put a knob near the legs so I don't need another tool to collapse it. Just twist the knob to loosen and I'm on my way. It's such a simple thing, but it really makes a difference when you want to move quickly to setup or strike your gear. This is the only C-Stand I'll buy or recommend to others now. It's sturdy and easy to setup or strike.

In A Word: Wow

Beautifully engineered and built, smooth operating and rock-solid. I thought this would be over the top for a mere hobbyist like me, but I was wrong. It's a must-have for anyone wanting to hoist their precious monolights overhead, securely holding scrims or reflectors at odd angles without wobble, or any inventive use where solid grip is needed. I have the Matthews tablet holder and mount it to the end knuckle sometimes when tethering, so it does double duty when using a speedlight/monolight on the other end of the boom arm.

Of course it is heavy duty in every respect, but quality of the fittings and machined parts is outstanding. Works perfectly with my octo and beauty dish. Love it!

Amazing stand

This could be dropped from a plane and still work great. Very heavy duty and does not slip with my Paul C Buff white Lifhtning mono light and my Bowens 80 x 100 softbox. I will buy several more soon.
