Overview
The Kupo 40" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit (Black) (CT-40MKB) is a professional heavy-duty steel grip stand designed for film, television, photography, and studio production environments. It is widely used for supporting lighting modifiers, flags, gobos, reflectors, and small lighting fixtures in both studio and location workflows.
This model features a turtle base design, allowing the riser column to be quickly detached from the base for transport and storage efficiency. The base can also be used independently with a 1-1/8" (28 mm) junior receiver for low mounting applications.
The stand includes a 40" grip arm and 2.5" grip head, providing a complete grip solution straight out of the box. The spring-loaded base system allows the legs to open and close quickly with minimal effort, improving setup speed and workflow efficiency on set.
Constructed from steel with a black powder-coated finish and a zinc alloy base casting, the CT-40MKB is engineered for long-term durability and professional use in demanding production environments.
