3m Turtle-Base C-Stand with Detachable Caster Wheels

When a light needs to go high and stay put, a C-stand is the safe choice. This one is stainless steel, so it's strong and won't corrode, and it's rated for roughly 10kg, enough for medium to large studio heads wearing big modifiers.

The two-section column reaches a maximum of 300cm and folds down to a minimum of 145cm. That height is useful for lighting a tall painted canvas evenly from above, or for hair lights over a standing model. Setting up needs no tools. Pull the legs apart until they click into place and you're ready.

The legs come off the column for transport and storage, and they fold flat. Their nested design means you can stand several C-stands closer together than ordinary light stands allow. The set of three 75mm casters has cast iron connector blocks and rubber wheels that grip on carpet and hard floors alike. Each caster locks on its own, so you can wheel a light into place and then fix it there for the shot.
