Attaching A Camera The Studio Robust C-Stand Stainless-Steel Turtle Grip & 20" Arm Set is a special robust, heavy-duty type of light stand that is widely used in both the filmmaking and photography industries. Made from Stainless Steel, C-stands are capable of holding heavy lighting fixtures such as light banks, and strobes with large or heavy modifiers as well as other accessories such as scrims and flags, etc. C-Stands were originally used in the early days of cinema and were used to hold up large reflectors which reflected Sunlight to illuminate the set before the introduction of artificial lighting later. You have to remember this phrase when working with grip equipment: “Righty Tighty; Lefty Loosy”. When you are rigging equipment to hold things, there’s a right way and a very wrong way to do this.If your camera has a rotating screen, then you can swing that screen out so that you can easily see what you are doing. The arm can be used in a few ways. You can have a 40 inch arm or a 20 inch arm. The arm also has a grip head on it. You can put a light on the end of the arm and extend it out – though you always have to counterweight this type of rigging.
