Over the years, Matthews Studio Equipment has revolutionized the world of lighting support with their innovative C-Stands, first introduced in 1974. Known for their durability and versatility, these stands have become essential tools for professionals in the motion picture, television, and photography industries. The 20" C+ Stand with Turtle Base and Grip Head and Arm, available in a convenient 4-pack, exemplifies Matthews' commitment to quality and functionality.The term "Century Stand" harks back to the early days of film production, when stages relied on natural sunlight and large reflectors to illuminate sets. These reflectors, often 100 inches in size, were pivotal in shaping the lighting techniques of the time. As technology evolved, so did the need for more adaptable equipment, leading to the creation of the C-Stand. Matthews' original design featured welded bases that, while non-adjustable, could nest together seamlessly, maximizing space on set.Today, the C+ Stand continues this legacy with its unique features. The staggered leg design allows for tight nesting, enabling multiple stands to be positioned closely together without interference. This design also includes a sliding leg, perfect for use on uneven surfaces such as stairs or curbs, and even on elevated areas like desks or countertops. The removable turtle base enhances portability, making disassembly for travel straightforward and hassle-free.Crafted with a chrome finish, these stands are not only robust but also aesthetically pleasing, ensuring they blend seamlessly into any professional setting. The included grip head and arm provide additional support for lighting and modifiers, offering flexibility and precision in positioning. With patents applied for and pending, Matthews' C+ Stand is a testament to their ongoing innovation in the field of lighting support equipment.

It's a work horse. Solid and well constructed - it holds lights and softboxes with ease. I never see any bending or swaying. So happy I got it.

A total beast

Best ever!

I've dragged these stands across the country and hung a ton of different things on them. Lights, boom poles, flags, cameras, and monitors. They haven't sagged or lost their grip. Two years of almost daily use inspired me to buy more of them. There's a reason they're the standard.

Sturdy and Dependable.

I needed a C-stand to hold lights and other equipment with more versatility than a standard light stand. Since Matthews is a very reputable brand, I chose them for peace of mind when it comes to the safety of people on-set as well as equipment. Somewhat disappointingly, the black finish seems to crackle easily, although so far it hasn't posed any issues with my final images. It's worth noting that these are my first and only C-stands. As such, I am unable to compare them to other products and am unsure as to whether other black C-stands exhibit this same problem.

Overall, they fulfill their function well, and they feel nice and stable when properly weighted and balanced.

Stable and sturdy, except for the black coating

Love them. Strong, well made and just groovy!

Best C stands I’ve ever owned

looks great and works great! super lightweight but still sturdy compared to other c-stands.

Light but sturdy.

It works great, highly recommended!

I really like this c-stand by Matthews! I will buy one more as i love the fat handles and the versatility!

Matthews makes great C-Stands

Outstanding stand. Excellent stability and very durable. Fit and finish is excellent .

C stand

This thing is a tank. I went with Matthews because I know the reliability of their products and have seen these in action when they’ve clearly been through battle....and they still keep ticking. Anything can work and look nice when it’s new. These are built to last.

The Gold Standard

We got 6 of these stands for our high school digital photography classes and they are holding up well! These are heavy enough to support strobes with heavy light banks on them as well as seemless background paper back to back in order to have 2 sets running at the same time. Easy to use, easy to adjust. The black paint is holding up well although we haven't had to move or transport them a lot yet. The name Matthews is synonymous with being well and a classic traditional stand. Don't hesitate to buy these if you need some reliable, heavier stands! (The price has gone up significantly though since 1/2015 without the discount) :-(

Holding up well! Easy to use, nice finish

Best C stand, and it will last you a lifetime of use.

the best

These C Stands were exactly as advertised, delivered quick, and at competitive pricing.  What more can one ask for?  I will be a returning customer

Matthews 40" Hollywood C+ Stand with Tur

I actually bought this stand by mistake,  I wanted to buy the full size stand.  After unpacking it, I realized this stand easily will fit in a standard suitcase.  You can actually fit two or three even and be under the 50 pound weight limit.  Great if you do portraits in other states.

Great for Travel

This is the best purchase I've made in a long time. Being familiar with Matthews C-stands, I knew what to expect, but I still was wow'ed when I unpacked it. Good for low height, and adjustable leg (which is super easy to lock down). That leg is handy in small studio space or outdoors where the terrain is uneven. The only con is that Matthews is more expensive than Avenger which I've never used, ... maybe I'll try an Avenger next time. In any case, I know I can count on Matthews for being solid and durable.
