In 1974 Matthews Studio Equipment introduced the industry’s first folding base C-Stand® (Century Stand®), since then, Matthews now produces a wide range of C-Stands and related accessories to assist the motion picture, television, and photographic professional in lighting and lighting modification support. Century Stands or ‘C’ stands are an important component in the image maker’s arsenal of tools. The unique, staggered leg design allows C-Stands to be nested and therefore be placed extremely close to one another on set. The lower leg can also be slid under many objects.
