The Matthews 40” C-Stand with Sliding Leg, Grip Head, and Arm — Low Profile Edition — is engineered for creators who need maximum stability in minimal space. Whether you're working in a compact studio, shooting on location, or positioning gear around furniture, this stand delivers professional-grade reliability and creative flexibility. The low-profile base allows the legs to glide easily beneath couches, tables, or low-set props, letting you mount lights or modifiers exactly where you need them. A notched base design ensures the legs nestle securely when deployed, keeping your setup stable and footprint compact. Like all Matthews C-Stands, this model features serrated gobo heads with an aluminum magic gasket for a strong, no-slip grip, V-shaped brakes for three points of contact, and stay-put T-handles that won't fall out during transport. The sliding leg adjusts for uneven surfaces such as stairs, curbs, or rough terrain, while protective orange feet prevent surface damage indoors or out. Built with welded steel legs and a knurled baby pin for secure fixture mounting, this C-Stand folds flat for storage and transport — a versatile, professional tool ready for every creative challenge.
