Unicorn Films offers the C‑Stand Double Height, the industry standard for stable, elevated support of lighting and grip accessories. This stand features a two‑riser column that provides generous height for overhead lights, flags, diffusion frames, bounce boards, and grip rigs, while its staggered leg base nests easily with other stands on busy sets.
C‑stands are prized for their durability and versatility. The double‑riser design delivers height without sacrificing stability, making it perfect for hair lights, overhead diffusion, or negative fill. The standard 5/8‑inch baby pin mount integrates with most lights, grip heads, and clamps, ensuring compatibility with your existing kit.
Available in chrome or black steel finishes, the C‑Stand Double Height comes in a fixed‑base or turtle‑base (removable) version for fast transport and low‑mounting flexibility. Many models include a sliding Rocky Mountain leg to keep the stand level on stairs, curbs, and uneven ground essential for location work. With a load capacity of around 10 kg on quality models, it is safe for most small to medium lighting setups when used with sandbags.
Safe setup practices include aligning a leg directly under the load, placing sandbags on the highest leg first, keeping grip heads oriented so gravity tightens the arm, and balancing any off‑axis loads with counterweights. Whether in studio or on location, this stand is a must‑have for secure and precise rigging.
Rent the C‑Stand Double Height from Unicorn Films for safe and reliable light and grip support on any production.
