The FPS CTA40-4 is a 40-inch stainless-steel C-stand kit for holding flags, nets and small lights where a regular light stand gets in the way. One sliding leg moves up and down the column, so the stand sits level on stairs, curbs and uneven floors. The included grip arm reaches a flag or light out over the action while the base stays clear of it.

Key Features

  • Stainless-steel stand with a silver finish.
  • Sliding leg adjusts its height to level the stand on uneven ground.
  • Working height from 145 to 320 cm (4.8 to 10.5 ft).
  • Kit includes an extension grip arm and two 2.5-inch grip heads.
  • Stand rated for 10 kg (22 lb). The rating is for the stand, not for weight hung at the end of the arm.

In the Box
