Century Stands, better known as C-stands, are the standard type grip equipment. They have been a staple in the film industry for decades for their strength and flexibility. The C-stand is used for mounting lighting equipment and a large range of tools and accessories to shape light. All Century Stands have a unique stand that was specially designed with three different leg rests. This allows you to stack or “nest” the standard feet so the risers are only a few centimeters apart, for use in the close vicinity of lights and other equipment or for easy storage.
