Impact vs matthews c stand. The unique staggered leg design of a c stand allows it to be nested and placed extremely close to one another on a set. So i was looking at b h today for c stands and i noticed that they carry impact c stands for alot less than either matthews avenger or american. 119 gets you a 40 c stand with an arm and 2 5 grip head. Add at least two items to compare.

Avenger and mathews both make excellent c stands. But are they worth 120 150. This is a matthews hollywood century c stand kit. It consists of a double riser sliding leg c stand with a grip head and 40 arm.

Comparing impact ls ct40m vs matthews c stand 40 vs avenger. I personally like the heavier c stands. The impact 40 extension grip arm black is a staple of any film video or photo production set. I have used matthews stands that are decades old and they still work fine.

However i am wondering about the quality of them. Compare impact ls ct40m vs matthews c stand 40 vs avenger a2030d vs kupo 40 master c stand. C stands are more than just a heavy duty light stand. No items to compare.

An ideal mate to an optional c stand the 40 non skid bar slips neatly into an optional grip head mounted to the stand allowing you to offset it and cantilever a flag gobo light or other accessory in front of it. I am not super hard on them but i want to make sure it s not just worth spending an extra 50. That s better than getting one from ebay.
