Kupo CT-20 MKB C Stand with grip arm (Black)

$60.00 /day

The Kupo CT-20MKB C-Stand with Grip Arm (Black) is now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. This heavy-duty 20-inch black steel stand delivers superior anti-reflective 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-20MKB C-Stand with Grip Arm (Black) is a professional-grade, industrial steel support kit engineered specifically for gaffers, photographers, and grips renting in Hong Kong who require absolute stability with zero light reflection. This 20-inch riser configuration is crafted from heavy-duty solid steel and finished with a specialized matte black powder coating, which directly eliminates unwanted glares, lens flares, and reflections on high-intensity HK production sets. The defining layout advantage of this model is its detachable turtle base architecture, allowing the riser column to be completely separated so the low-profile base can be utilized independently as a floor stand (地腳) to overcome strict height limitations.

By choosing equipment hire through Dream Scenes Studio, local crews secure an incredibly rigid rigging platform for compact sets. The kit includes a matching black 20-inch extension arm and a heavy-duty 2-1/2″ grip head, providing unwavering holding tension to secure light modifiers, small fixtures, or flags safely within tightly scheduled studio workflows or unpredictable outdoor locations.

Applicable Scenarios:

Chai Wan and Kwun Tong Commercial Video Studios: Ideal for green screen setups, high-contrast product commercials, and dark-mood tabletop cinematography where traditional silver steel stands would reflect studio lights back into the lens.
Central and Tsim Sha Tsui Interior Sets: Perfect for hiding compact LED fixtures or background kickers in tight corners or under desks without having to worry about glossy metal poles revealing the grip gear in mirror surfaces or windows.
Hong Kong Night Exterior and Street Shoots: Provides a discrete, non-reflective footprint for rigging small flags, diffusers, or hair lights close to actors on dark streets, staying completely invisible in shadows.

Anti-Reflective Matte Black Finish: Coated with a durable powder surface treatment that completely eliminates specular reflections and light leaks on dark or high-contrast sets.
Heavy-Duty Solid Steel Engineering: Delivers superior structural stiffness and a low center of gravity to support modifiers safely without warping or swaying.
Detachable Turtle Base Structure: Equipped with a fast-acting spring-pin lock mechanism that allows the column to be removed, converting the base into an ultra-low floor support.
Staggered Nesting Leg Geometry: Legs feature staggered heights that allow multiple bases to interloop and slide under each other, maximizing available floor space on tight sets.
Complete Professional Grip Kit: Bundled with a solid black 20″ extension arm and a 2-1/2″ grip head with non-slip brake pads for precise multi-angle modifier articulation.

⚠️ Note: This standard kit includes the single black 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-20MKB support massive high-power movie lights like an Aputure STORM 1200x on HK sets?
A: While the CT-20MKB is built from solid steel and is incredibly strong, its compact 20″ height and shorter footprint mean it is best optimized for compact LED fixtures, monitors, small flags, and speedlights. Large 1200W cinema fixtures and massive modifiers create significant top-heavy weight distribution and should be paired with our heavy-duty steel Combo Stands or full-sized 40″ stands. Always use a sandbag over the highest leg of the base for optimal safety.
Q: Will the matte black finish scratch easily during rugged outdoor transport across Hong Kong?
A: The CT-20MKB features a specialized industrial powder coating designed to resist scratches and heavy production wear much better than cheap sprayed alternatives. However, normal metallic contact can create rub marks over time. We highly recommend using padded grip bags during transport to maintain its pristine anti-reflective coating.
Q: Can I mount a light fixture directly onto the black turtle base without using the center column?
A: Yes, that is a core workflow 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 build a sturdy, non-reflective 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.
