Kupo 20" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit (CT-20MK)

Overview

The Kupo 20" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit (CT-20MK) is a professional-grade steel grip stand designed for film, television, photography, and studio production environments. Built for durability and flexibility, it is widely used for supporting lighting modifiers, flags, reflectors, gobos, and small lighting fixtures.

This model features a turtle base system, allowing the centre column (riser) to be quickly detached from the base for easier transport and compact storage. The base can also function independently as a low mounting point using a 1-1/8" (28 mm) junior receiver.

The stand includes a 20" grip arm and 2.5" grip head, enabling immediate use straight out of the box for standard grip applications. Its spring-loaded leg mechanism allows fast opening and closing, improving workflow efficiency on set.

Designed for professional use, the CT-20MK delivers a strong balance of portability, stability, and modular flexibility, making it a standard fixture in production kits worldwide.
