The three different leg heights on the C-Stand base allow the stands to be nested very close together. Here the column is not removable, but one of the legs of the C-Stand is adjustable in height so the stand can be used on a staircase or on uneven terrain. Another type of base is called a stair or rocky mountain base. Some C-Stands have a turtle base (some with a removable column where the column can be replaced with a baby pin to place a light close to the ground).
There are a couple of base styles for C-Stands. Or you can get a C-Stand that adds a grip arm (sometimes called an extension arm) and knuckle for more versatility. You can get just a basic C-Stand that consists of a base with three collapsible legs and a center column. Use a “baby” or “junior” stand with a boom arm and counterweights when your light needs to be above someone. They are not designed for safely booming a light and modifier overhead. They were originally designed for film studios where they are used to hold various pieces of equipment such as gobos, flags, cutters, and small lighting fixtures. Emphasis on small when using a grip arm. UPDATE: I found a great video about using C-Stands on Youtube.Ĭ-stands, also called Century-Stands, are a very popular and useful accessory in the photo studio.
