After revolutionizing the industry in 1974 with the introduction of the first folding base C-Stand, Matthews Studio Equipment continues to lead the way with their comprehensive range of C-Stands and accessories. The Matthews 40" C+ Stand with Turtle Base and Grip Head and Arm, Chrome, 4-Pack is an essential tool for professionals in motion picture, television, and photography, offering unparalleled support for lighting and lighting modification.The term 'Century Stand' harks back to the early days of cinema, where large 100-inch reflectors, or 'century' reflectors, were used to bounce sunlight onto sets. This historical significance is embodied in the modern C-Stand, which has evolved from its original welded base design to a more versatile and portable solution. The Matthews C+ Stand features a unique removable turtle base, allowing for easy disassembly and transport without the bulkiness found in other models.
