C-Stands (40")

C-stands (Century Stands) are the backbone of grip equipment on any professional set, providing strong, reliable support for lighting fixtures, modifiers, and essential accessories. With a standard 40-inch riser and 10-foot height range, they are built to handle everything from mounting lights and flags to holding reflectors, silks, and diffusion frames. Their turtle base design allows for quick setup and stable support, while sliding leg options make it possible to balance on uneven terrain like stairs or outdoor locations.

We stock Avenger, Kupo, Impact, and Savage C-stands, all known for their durability, weight capacity, and professional build quality. Each comes equipped with a grip head and gobo arm, providing flexible positioning for modifiers or equipment at virtually any angle. Equally useful in studio and location environments, C-stands are indispensable tools for lighting and grip departments, offering both stability and versatility in a compact footprint.
