SHAPE 40-inch C-Stand Turtle Base Kit
The SHAPE 40-inch C-Stand Turtle Base Kit is a black anodized aluminum support stand for photographers, filmmakers, studios, and grip crews who need a 9.7 ft working height and 25 lb load capacity. Available in Canada from Filmgear Canada, the kit includes a removable turtle base, grip heads, a 40-inch arm, cable clips, and removable rubber feet.
Product Overview
This camera C-Stand combines a 55-inch minimum and folded height with a maximum height of 9.7 ft / 296 cm. The removable turtle base accepts an optional 2K pin for low-angle setups, while the top of the stand supports 5/8-inch baby-pin accessories. A sliding leg helps the stand adapt to uneven surfaces, and the legs nest with other C-stands to reduce floor space during transport and storage. Damped spring risers, captive knobs, and aluminum locking collars improve daily grip workflow.
Key Features
25 lb support capacity
The stand supports up to 25 lb / 11 kg for flags, silks, bounce cards, small fixtures, and other grip accessories within the rated load.
9.7 ft maximum height
The three-section stand reaches 9.7 ft / 296 cm and folds to 55 inches / 140 cm. That range supports overhead diffusion, flags, and elevated accessory placement on studio or location sets.
Removable turtle base
The turtle base can be removed and used with an optional 2K pin for near-floor positioning. The stand also nests with other C-stands to conserve space in grip trucks and storage rooms.
Included grip arm and heads
The 40-inch arm and grip heads provide positioning control for flags, gels, bounce materials, and silks. Two cable clips help keep power and signal runs organized around the stand.
Set-friendly hardware
Damped spring risers reduce the risk of pinched hands when sections are lowered. Captive knobs stay attached during transport, and removable rubber feet help protect finished floors.
How It Compares
The SHAPE kit uses black anodized aluminum, a removable turtle base, and a sliding leg. The FPS 40-inch Master C-Stand Sliding Leg Kit is the closer Filmgear alternative for buyers who prefer a stainless-steel silver stand. A conventional light stand is faster for a small fixture, but it does not provide the same grip-arm positioning for flags and diffusion.
Who Is This For?
This 40-inch C-Stand is suited to photo studios, film crews, interview teams, grip departments, rental houses, and content studios that regularly position flags, silks, gels, reflectors, or compact lights.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose a smaller baby C-Stand for tight rooms and lighter travel kits. Choose a heavier steel stand when maximum mass and rigidity matter more than transport weight, or a taller combo stand when the load requires a junior receiver and more working height.
