Lowel launches pro-grade century stands

Lowel, a division of The Tiffen Company, launched the Lowel 40-inch C-Stands. The 40-inch double-riser shaft is outfitted with unique ergonomic locking tri-knobs offering a firm grip and secure hold. The familiar staggered leg height design allows nesting several stands close together and fast deployment. Lowel C-stands follow industry-standard sizes to perfectly fit on grip trucks or C-stand hangers. When combined with the Lowel grip head and arm, there’s no better tool for supporting light fixtures and light-modifiers like gobos, flags, silks, and scrims.

The turtle-base model C-stand (CTB-40) features spring-loaded legs for fast setup and breakdown and for easy travel and storage, the company says. The removable base with a 1⅛-inch junior receiver facilitates exchanging riser sections with accessories like a stand adapter for low-angle lighting or replacing the legs with a runway base for greater mobility.

The sliding-leg model C-stand (CSL-40) features a movable top leg that’s secured by a tri-knob. It’s designed for leveling the stand on uneven surfaces like stairs, hills, and curbs.

Lowel’s Grip Head (CGH-25) provides 5/8 and 3/8-inch holes for mounting grip arms and other lighting fixtures or grip equipment. The 40-inch Grip Arm (CGA-40) features a fixed 2.5-inch grip head and a pin with a flat recess preventing slipping or rotating when mounting small light fixtures.
