The PixaPro 50" Collapsible & Portable Photography C-Stand with Grip & Arm (or Century Stand) is widely used by both photographers and movie makers alike due to its robust and sturdy build quality. They are also capable of holding heavy equipment such as large light banks, and strobes with large or heavy modifiers due to the solid stainless-steel metal construction. The very sturdy & strong stand is the perfect tool for any portrait, beauty, product, fashion photographer, or videographer, in a studio fixed location who uses large modifiers.
The 50" photography collapsible C-stand (or Century Stand) comes from the early days of motion picture production. The C-stand was widely used to hold up large reflectors to catch and reflect the sunlight to illuminate the set before the introduction of artificial lights later.
It is a sturdy, durable light stand to hold any lighting using the traditional universal 5/8” spigot. This is the most popular fixture for lights or flashes, which covers the vast majority currently available on the market, with a maximum load capacity of 10kg. The detachable base also includes a 1-1/8” junior-pin receiver, for heavier lights, such as Arri lights used in large productions.
It features a 50” heavy-duty boom arm attached using the 2.5” grip heads, this allows you to position your lighting in angles not available to normal stands. The included grip heads also allow you to use additional modifiers with your stands like flags, diffusers or reflectors. The PixaPro collapsible C-stand works great for use as an overhead light, hair light or copy stand
The 9’ 8” universal collapsible C-stand is perfect for use in the studio with heavier light and modifier combinations, due to the solid stainless-steel construction. The turtle base legs have a large footprint diameter, giving you a stable stand for your equipment and maximum stability, with a detachable base to make transporting and storing the stand a little easier thanks to the unique, varied leg heights to stack or nest the base, folding them flat.
The PixaPro collapsible heavy-duty C-stand is entirely made of metal with a stainless chrome finish & can be extended to a full length of 300cm (118”), which can then collapse right down to 145cm minimum height, making it storable and portable, an all-round excellent stand to use for general use.
The 300cm collapsible C-stand features a thick, sturdy central column that has a spring-loaded dampening system which prevents sudden drops to minimise the risk of damaging your equipment or causing injury to yourself.
The PixaPro 50" Collapsible & Portable Photography C-Stand with Grip & Arm allows you to mount your light stand up to 300cm in height, offering a stable platform to use and move your lighting effortlessly overhead. This makes it an essential piece of kit for the modern studio, great for portrait, beauty, product, fashion photographers or videographers.
PLEASE NOTE: The Adjustable Leg does not require tools to setup and can be pulled apart with your hands, you can find a video on how to do this HERE

Great item, even better in the sale. Fast delivery as usual. Thank you
I like it it’s very sturdy
Excellent quality and solidity
Needed to up my game when it came to stands as one fell over on a shoot with an 150 octabox attached to a strobe. Could have hurt someone. This one however is very robust and sturdy, nothing is going to tip this one over. Had it setup with the same rig and felt very secure. The arm also held the 150 octabox as well. Could do with an eyelet at one end of the rod though so I could hang my sandbag weight a little more securely but other than that it's perfect.
The c-stand is a great budget option. Nothing tightens and fixes in place quite like a Manfrotto and the boom feels a little flimsy, but great for booming mics and smaller lights.
We don't have any accessories to enable you to mount a ball head to this c-stand, however, we do have a bracket to enable you to mount your camera to this C-Stand (please see the link below)
We currently only have one set of caster wheels that will be compatible with our C-Stand, these can be found by going to the following link;
