Kupo 40" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit (CT-40MK)

Overview

The Kupo 40" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit (CT-40MK) is a professional heavy-duty steel grip stand designed for film, television, photography, and studio production environments. It is widely used for supporting lighting fixtures, flags, reflectors, gobos, and other grip accessories in both studio and location setups.

This model features a turtle base design, allowing the centre column to be quickly detached for transport and compact storage. The base can also be used independently with a 1-1/8" (28 mm) junior receiver for low mounting applications.

The CT-40MK includes a 40" grip arm and 2.5" grip head, providing a complete working grip solution straight out of the box. Its spring-loaded base system allows the legs to open and close quickly, improving efficiency on set while maintaining strong stability.

Built from chrome-plated steel with a zinc alloy base casting, the stand is designed for durability, strength, and long-term professional use in demanding production environments.
