This chrome-plated, 5.9' Impact Turtle Base C-Stand features a patented locking mechanism that allows the legs to swing out and lock into place for easy setup and collapse flat for storage. The stand has a low center of gravity which allows mounting of heavy equipment without tipping. The legs are perfectly shaped for saddlebag-type sandbags. A light head can be mounted to the base directly with the aid of an optional stand adapter. The base allows individual legs to be set at any angle, and can be positioned in locations not possible with standard design stands.
