Quick update: There will be a follow up video coming soon about C-stand safety. I made an absolutely classic error when shooting this video (I was too busy worrying about getting everything in frame that I glossed over it). Plus a couple of other health and safety notes I want to add. See part 2 here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qJ-i16x8sp2ji4o&feature=share7
Is there a quality difference between the 2 stands? I just picked up the Avenger C-Stand.

Not really. They’re both really high quality stands that will last for many, many years. We use both brands interchangeably. Thanks for stopping by!

Great video, one way to remember the right hand rule is to think of playing a guitar or a fishing rod, Each is controlled using the right hand, plucking and the reels handle.

Can you take those stands apart? I often travel with a big bag and i need a stand that fits in there
@CreativePathFilms

Not on the models I have shown here. But you can buy c-stands that have what’s called a “turtle base” where the centre column removed from the base. That’s as much as they can pull apart however. So they’ll still need quite a large bag/case to fit them. Being steel they’re also quite heavy. These I believe are 40” stands, there are also shorter 30” and 20” ones available too, they they aren’t as tall

180€ for a bunch of metal is outrageous in my opinion.

They may be expensive, but the good ones will last 20+ years. And even then, most of the parts from the brands I mentioned are replaceable. I bought my first couple of C-stands from a film-school that was closing down, where they had been absolutely ABUSED by students. All of them are still going strong. So if your in the market, definitely look on second hand marketplaces to save €€ - but be quick because they never stay available for long.

@CreativePathFilms

Thank you Jerry! The 20/30/40” measurement is the length of the central column (when compacted - minus the legs/stand base). The most common sizes are 20” (baby c-stand) and 40”. They will also commonly be paired with a gobo arm of the same length.

They are most certainly NOT made out of stainless steel. Those are plated steel. I'm on my 4th batch of 12 stands the previous have rusted beyond use. I had harassed mathews for years on this issue.

If that’s what you’d like to see, you might enjoy this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/q69osaJtg19qnZw Whilst we didn’t use a strobe, as we’re predominantly film/video focused on this channel, the principals are similar. I opted for an offset arm rather than a c-stand arm in this instance for stability and strength. Hope you enjoy!

terrific explanation. Best I've seen. My only remaining wish is that you'd shown how best to secure a 5-in-1 reflector which needs 2 points of connection to stay reasonably still outside.
@CreativePathFilms
2 ай бұрын
Thank you!! I don’t typically use c-stands for 5-in-1’s. You need a second clamp on hand on the other end of the arm and in my experience the 2.5” grip heads can easily damage the outer frame and fabric of a 5-in-1. Because of their fixed length, the gobo arms also don’t fit all of the reflector sizes. You definitely can do it, I just tend not to. My preference is a designated 5-in-1 reflector holder like the ones by impact. They’re counter weighted, have clamps on either end designed for 5-in-1’s and they’re extendable, so they fit different sized reflectors. They also can be mounted on any 5/8” baby pin, so can go on either light stands or C-stands, so they’re pretty versatile. Downside - they’re not as strong or rigid as a steel gobo arm obviously. That’s my 2-cents! Thanks for watching!!

Just for elaboration, the piece of "metal" in the knuckle of the Matthews stand is made of aluminium. Being softer than the steel, the steel of the knuckle is able to bite into the aluminium disc and thus form a stronger holding joint.
