Now I don’t have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of the grips. This is awesome Josiah (and team). Such great communication, and dapper as ever.

Fantastic explanation on C stands.

Great deep dive!

This was good. Second time watching already. So glad someone finally says it: they’re not light stands! I’m a home studio guy, and we’re the BIGGEST perpetrators here. Also, just discovered Norm’s, when I can afford pro C-stands I think I’m goin with them. Thanks! Anywho, love the content, keep it up! *SUB*

Seriously the best c-stand tutorial on KZread. So many of the other videos are teaching people to use c-stands the wrong way or are leaving out key information. Your video cleared up so many questions for me! One question I do have is that in the video you mentioned that while c-stands often carry heavier loads than a light, they are not light stands. I'm curious about the other uses of c-stands beyond what you covered here.

Thanks for the feedback! Primarily, they're used for holding flags, diffusion, and scrims. But I find them to be extremely versatile - possibly my most-used item on set. You can help other departments too. Holding set pieces or props for art dept, a makeshift clothing rack for wardrobe, rigging things for cam dept or even cameras themselves, holding sound blankets for sound dept, etc.. A real beauty about C-stands is the ability to hold something in just about any position in space - which is infinitely useful.

Nicely done. Great content for beginners and even DPs that sometimes need a little refresh on what everyone else is doing while they are sitting on a comfortable cushioned dolly seat sipping tea. I think I have that same couch.

If you have a roll of seamless, you can use a pair of C-stands for this - simply place an arm in each end of the roll. Still, be sure the long leg is in the direction of the load and knuckles are on the right

IMO it does make sense to bag the second leg facing away from the load to counter balance as a secondary measure after placing the first big leg under the load (provided the bag doesn’t touch the ground). It also serves a secondary function to counter any force pushing over the stand at a diagonal 45 between the leg orientations. Curious if you’ve found the above to be less effective than bagging the first big leg?

It would be interesting to do some quantifiable foot-pound measurements to see if that secondary leg is any more helpful the a second bag on the long leg. Physics can be surprising

Now Neewer C-stand from China is the leading in the world.
