"This is basically a crew member for me. I use it to hold boom mics, lights, flags, gels, backgrounds...and on and on. Having this stand is like paying a grip once and having him there for whatever you need, whenever you need him, forever. Other than my camera, this is the most useful and versatile p …"  Read Full Review »

"Easy to use, just undo a few twist bolts, spread the legs and it's all set to use. The slidable third leg is priceless in certain situations. Reverse the above directions and it's ready to be stored.

"I use C-Stands in film/video production. Matthews builds these things like a tank. These are essential for on set help for holding scrims, cookies, and lights, and almost mandatory for awkward China Ball placement. This is a particularly good value at B&H since the same stand is priced higher ever …"  Read Full Review »

"What is there to say? C stand are the standard, especially Matthews brand.



The price is good, the product is great. I love that it comes with the arm.
