Matthews C-Stands: The Ultimate Tool for Photography & Film Professionals

The C-Stand started here — Matthews introduced the first folding-leg Century Stand in 1974, and it remains the most-used support tool on any set. Every stand below is machined in Burbank, California.

Which base do you need?

• Sliding leg — one leg slides up the column for stairs, curbs, slopes, or tucking tight against set pieces. The classic choice.
• Spring-loaded folding — legs snap open and shut in seconds; built for fast setups and faster wrap-outs.
• Turtle base (C+) — the column lifts off the base for compact packing and travel; the base alone doubles as a low-boy.
• Hollywood Pro low profile — a wider, flatter footprint for heavier rigs on professional sets.
• 5" Pocket C-Stand — a palm-size version for tabletop and small-fixture work.

Then pick your height (20" or 40" risers) and finish (chrome or black).
