The next time I'm on set, I will be the most knowledgeable photographer, shouting at the assistant setting the c-stand up incorrectly, and I will tell the team all about the glory of the c-stand. It is a sturdy durable light stand to hold any lighting using the traditional universal 5/8” spigot. This is the most popular fixture for lights or flashes which covers the vast majority currently available on the market, with a maximum load capacity of 10kg. The detachable base also includes a 1-1/8” junior-pin receiver, for heavier lights such as Arri lights used in large productions. With regards to the stands, I don't see either of the stands are likely to tip over, especially when I use the 600 with the remote head. The FP is much sturdier (I think it will outlast me as a matter of fact ). I tend to use the FP stand for in studio b/c of the smaller footprint, while taking the PCB stands when traveling b/c of the weight differences.

While there are lots of Light Stand manufacturers out there, there’s not a lot of variety in design out there…but every now and again, something will come out that’s a bit different, surprising, and oddly useful in special situations. This section is dedicated to those light stands that you may not have heard of before or never knew that you totally needed!

It weighs 6.4lbs and has a footprint diameter of 46.5". https://www.paulcbuff.com/13acls.php The common info I have found states that C stand is more sturdy than regular stands. It is less likely to tip over. Please comment on the following comparison. The air-cushioned, 6′ MultiFlex Light Stand from Savage is a space-saving solution to setting up in tight spaces or on uneven terrain. Thanks to a clever design, instead of being fixed, one of the three legs can slide down from its normal position on the stand’s center section until it nearly touches the floor. That means squeezing a leg under a couch or table is no problem, stairs are a snap, and supporting gear on hilly terrain is routine. The stand has an industry-standard 5/8″ top stud, and comes with a touch fastener strap and a padded carry case for storage and transport.

When you are placing your C-Stand on the floor in the position it needs to be, make sure that the tallest, biggest leg is facing toward the weight that is being supported. This will make the stand more stable. 3.

I knew both Mike and Larry Parker, who ran Mole-Richardson. I met Roy Isaia (founder of MSEGrip) in the early 1970s. Starting in the late 1970s, I worked, from time-to-time. for Twentieth Century Fox studios.There are three stories I've heard about the name C-stand. The Grip Department at 20th Century Fox (formed in 1935) claimed it.
