Kupo CT-20 MK C Stand with grip arm (Silver)

$60.00 /day

The Kupo CT-20MK C-Stand with Grip Arm (Silver) is now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. This heavy-duty 20-inch turtle base stand offers robust stability for compact HK sets.

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Kupo CT-20MK C-Stand with Grip Arm (Silver) is a professional-grade, industrial steel support kit engineered for gaffers, photographers, and grips renting in Hong Kong. This 20-inch riser configuration is crafted from chrome-plated solid steel, delivering exceptional structural stiffness and an optimal center of gravity compared to lightweight aluminum stands. The defining workflow benefit of this model is its detachable turtle base architecture, which allows the column sections to be removed completely so the low-slung base can be utilized independently as a floor stand (地腳), directly resolving overhead clearance limitations and tight space constraints on fast-paced HK production sets.

By opting for top-tier equipment hire through Dream Scenes Studio, local crews secure an absolute workhorse for rigging fixtures and flag modifiers. The kit comes complete with a rugged 20-inch extension arm and a heavy-duty 2-1/2″ grip head, providing precise, uncompromising holding tension that prevents light slippage in tightly scheduled studio workflows or demanding outdoor environments.

Applicable Scenarios:

Chai Wan and Kwun Tong Low-Ceiling Studios: Ideal for space-restricted commercial product or macro food shoots where large standard C-Stands are too tall to rig modifiers or small flags close to tabletop arrays.
Central and Tsim Sha Tsui Interior Sets: Perfect for hiding compact high-output LED fixtures or background kickers behind low-back couches, desks, or practical set decor without exposing the stand tubes.
Hong Kong Exterior Macro and Portrait Shoots: Provides a solid, wind-resistant rigging platform for securing flags, diffusers, or small reflectors over talent on windy street corners or coastal locations when balanced with sandbags.

Heavy-Duty Chrome-Plated Steel: Built with high structural rigidity to safely support professional movie lighting and grip rigs without bending or swaying under pressure.
Detachable Turtle Base System: Features a spring-pin lock mechanism that allows the riser column to be removed entirely, transforming the base into an ultra-low floor support.
Space-Saving Nesting Base Legs: Engineered with staggered leg heights that allow multiple turtle bases to interloop and nest closely together, freeing up critical floor space on set.
Complete Grip Rigging Kit: Includes a solid 20″ extension grip arm and a 2-1/2″ grip head with non-slip brake pads for precise flag and modifier articulation.
Standard 5/8″ Baby Pin Terminus: Top of the column and the extension arm feature an industry-standard 16mm mounting spigot to ensure immediate compatibility with standard production lights.

⚠️ Note: This standard kit includes the single C-Stand structure, arm, and head only. It does NOT include castor wheels, extra grip heads, sandbags, flags, or lighting fixtures. Please add your preferred safety counterweights and modifiers to your cart separately if needed.

Q: Can the Kupo CT-20MK support high-power movie lights like an Aputure STORM 1200x on HK sets?
A: While the CT-20MK is built from solid steel and has a high load rating, its compact 20″ height and lighter footprint mean it is best optimized for compact LED fixtures, camera monitors, flags, and speedlights. Massive 1200W fixtures and heavy light modifiers are top-heavy and should be paired with our heavy-duty steel Combo Stands or full-sized 40″ C-Stands. Always place a sandbag over the highest leg of the turtle base for any setup.
Q: How do I fold the turtle base legs for transport or storage?
A: The turtle base features a specialized spring-loaded leg mechanism. Simply pull upward on the leg assembly near the center casting to disengage the locking pins, rotate the legs until they align parallel to each other into a flat profile, and release to lock. This allows it to pack flat into small transport vehicles.
Q: Can I mount a light fixture directly onto the turtle base without the center column?
A: Yes, that is a primary advantage of the detachable turtle base design. The center collar of the base features a native 1-1/8″ (28mm) junior receiver. You can drop a heavy junior pin fixture directly into it, or use a conversion adapter to expose a 5/8″ baby pin to create an ultra-low ground stand.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
