Designed for professional photographers and videographers, it offers unmatched stability, extended reach, and space-saving nesting for efficient studio and location workflows. ## Description The Kupo Master C Stand with Turtle Base features a unique innovation in the world of C Stands that enables the still or moving image-maker of any skill level to open and collapse the legs of the base in under two seconds! The Master C Stand is outfitted with a patented spring ring locking system that removes all tension from the legs so that gravity can do the work for you. A turtle base is an industry term where the riser section can be quickly removed from the base for easy transportation and the base can be used with a stand adapter for a low mounting position. The 40" Grip Arm with Hex Stud is a 2- 1/2" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing 5/8" (16mm) in diameter and finished with a faceted hex stud to keep lighting fixtures in position when they are placed on the end of the arm. The surface of the tubing is painstakingly machined to create a rough texture to ensure a non-slip surface. The 2-1/2" grip head consists of a pair of rotating aluminum discs attached to a 5/8" (16 mm) receiver. The discs have four different sized V shaped jaws to accept any accessory with a 5/8", 1/2", 3/8", or 1/4" mounting stud or tubing. The V shaped jaws have teeth that grab whatever is mounted between the plates securely. The 2-1/2" grip head features an oversized ergonomic T handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque. ## Features - SPECIFICATIONS: Complete kit includes 40" Master C-Stand with turtle base, 2.5" grip head, and 40" grip arm with hex stud for professional studio and location use. - RAPID SETUP SYSTEM: Spring ring locking mechanism allows the stand to open and collapse quickly using gravity for efficient operation. - EXTENDED REACH CONTROL: 40" grip arm provides added reach for positioning lights, flags, and modifiers without compromising stability. - HEAVY-DUTY STRENGTH: Zinc alloy base casting supports heavy lighting equipment and sandbagging for demanding professional use. - SPACE-SAVING DESIGN: Varied leg heights allow multiple C-Stands to nest closely together for organized storage and transport. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LP3GUOG | | Base Type | Leg | | Best Sellers Rank | #211 in Photographic Lighting Booms & Stands | | Brand Name | Kupo | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (60) | | Finish Type | Powder Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06954016562141 | | Included Components | KS704712 | | Item Dimensions | 40 x 2 x 2 inches | | Item Weight | 1.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | KUPO | | Model Number | KS704712 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | KS704712 | | Riser Color | Silver | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Two-Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kupo - **Color:** Silver - **Finish Type:** Powder Coated - **Item Weight:** 1.5 pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 40 x 2 x 2 inches ## Images ![40" C-Stand Turtle Base Kit Professional Grip Stand with 2.5" Grip Head and 40" Grip Arm, Heavy-Duty Steel Construction for Photography and Video Lighting - Silver (KS704712) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718jYyT0TnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the actual sizes of the assembled 20” stand (minimum & maximum)** A: Maximum Working Height 67.7" / 172 cm Minimum Working Height 36.4" / 92.5 cm Collapsed Height 36.6" / 93 cm Footprint Diameter 39.37" / 100 cm **Q: Why is there such a huge price difference between the sliding leg and the turtle base?** A: Sliding legs are handy on staircases or really sloping terrain. For that work, I just have an assistant hold the stand. The turtle base opens and closes in about a second. It also detaches quickly for transport or to swap out for a wheeled base. I love KUPO's turtle and will never use another Cstand ever! The additional machining in the base adds to the cost. It is very slick! **Q: It says 40 inches...what about this is 40 inches? It looks the same size as other C stands that say "10 ft".** A: From Kupo Site 40" Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Minimum Extension (Height) 52.76 in (134 cm) (4.3966667 ft) Maximum Extension (Height) 116.73 in (296.5 cm) (9.7275 ft) **Q: I want to attach a yongnuo yn 565 ex speedlite to this kit. do i need an additional accessory to mount my speedlite? please be specific.** A: The Kupo is the best stand available in my opinion. Great choice. I use 40", however, the 20" is more portable. The top of the stand is a "Baby" mount. It's basically a 5/8" cylindrical stud. Studio strobes will generally attach directly to this stud. "Junior" studs are 1 1/8" cylindrical studs or sockets. Larger heavier lights use this mount. Combo stands have both. If you are using hot shoe mounted speedlites you will need an adapter. On amazon, search on speedlight bracket. You will have many choices. Choose one that will allow you to tilt the flash and hold an umbrella. They are $5-20.00 and will last a life time. The end opposite the hot shoe adapter is made to connect right to the "Baby" stud. It is very secure. I hope this answer helps. I would have included part numbers and pictures, however, that is not allowed. Good luck and happy shooting! ## Frequently Bought Together - Kupo 40in Master C-Stand with Turtle Base Kit (40in C-Stand with Turtle Base Includes a 40in Grip Arm with Hex Stud and 2.5in Grip Head, Plus 2nd Additional 2.5in Grip Head) - Silver (KS704712) - Impact 6" End Jaw Vise Grip - ABCCANOPY Photography Sandbag for Video Stand, Heavy Duty Weight Bags for Light Tripod, Camping Chair, 4 Packs (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/2603987-40-c-stand-turtle-base-kit-professional-grip-stand-2](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/2603987-40-c-stand-turtle-base-kit-professional-grip-stand-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
