The C-Stand K1 is a heavy-duty professional stand built from 100% stainless steel and engineered to support loads of up to 25 kg, making it an ideal choice for studio lights, reflectors, microphones, and camera rigs in both indoor and outdoor shoots. Its innovative Century Stand base allows each leg to be set at any independent angle, unlocking placement possibilities that traditional stands simply cannot achieve.
Designed with the working photographer and videographer in mind, the C-Stand K1 features a foldable C-shaped base with an anti-slip pad for rock-solid stability, a built-in buffer spring to absorb impact from accidental drops, and a weather-resistant finish that holds up on location no matter the conditions — all packaged in a compact, transport-ready form factor.
Key features
- Handles up to 25 kg: Full stainless-steel construction delivers the rigidity and load capacity needed for heavy studio heads, boom arms, and rigging accessories.
- Individually adjustable Century Stand legs: Each leg can be angled independently, allowing the stand to be positioned in tight corners, on staircases, or around set furniture where standard stands cannot fit.
- Built-in buffer spring for added safety: Absorbs energy from sudden drops in stand elevation, protecting both your equipment and your hands during fast-paced adjustments.
- Captive ergonomic T-handles: The T-shaped tightening handles stay attached to the stand even when fully unscrewed, so you never lose a knob on a busy set.
- Foldable twist-and-release legs with anti-slip pad: Legs fold flat for quick transport and lock securely open with a simple twist, while the base pad prevents unwanted sliding on smooth floors.
- All-weather durable finish: The corrosion-resistant coating means the K1 performs reliably on outdoor shoots, in humid studios, and across varying climates.
