Man, I love when people man these awesome, informative videos for free! God Bless!
Thank you for such an informative presentation on the uses of C-Stands.
I appreciate how you showed the different ways of using the C-stand!
Hi Pine, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
This is so helpful I'm amazed by the many uses of thee C Stand now! Specially when you added the audio boom stand to it. I have a question at @4:31 The backroad you added in post is amazing so did you capture the background by yourself or you downloaded that texturized background from a website it yes please share it with us. Tanks in advance!❤🙏
Probably a good idea for you guys to learn how to actually use basic equipment before putting out an educational video attempting to teach others about that equipment. If anybody watching this video actually takes note and copies the way, for example, you get the grip head mounting backwards (you've put the grip arm inside the baby pin receiver that's supposed to be on the baby pin on the top riser, and somehow managed to make it even worse by loading it so the load will rotate left and loosen) or don't load the weight over the longest leg (dangerous) then they're going to have to unlearn what you've shown them. There are quite a few decent videos where you can learn the basics... Grip Tips and Vistek are two channels that come to mind.
Vistek for sure.
Anyone watching this needs to know the examples in this video are not safe. The large leg should be placed in the same direction as the load and sandbags should always be used.
Hi Ohana, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
K thanks. You should make your own tutorial.
Great video!! Well explained
This was super useful. You helped me realise that I need a c stand! Thanks very much.
Glad we could help!
Thanks Rob and Hypop! Hope you do a video of your favorite photo studio items. Esp ones that arent commonly known or used. Planning to open my own photo studio soon, so any tips will be helpful!
Sounds like a great idea. Thanks Joshua!
Hi Joshua, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
In just 8 minutes I got the answers for the most of my questions I couldn't resolve for several weeks.
Just received the Godox 14.8 heavy duty roller. It’s incredible. Wish their stuff came with instructions. There’s some parts of it I don’t understand.
I think there are a couple ideas missing here. First is that your boom pole must be aligned with the longer leg to avoid it from tilting and falling. The second one is that the “thightning knob “ that holds the boom arm must go to the right side. This way if the setup is too heavy it will auto tight with the weight instead of loosening up. TBH This vid felt more like “fun things that you can do with your expensive tube “

@@slideralexa02 Professional, informative material, containing maximum of information needed.
@@austrian96 thanks bro
Finally I know what C-Stand stands for. Thanks mate!
Glad to help!

@@slideralexa02 hi. I have seen a glimpse of your channel. It seems like your video quality are already polished and ready to get more views. Perhaps, what you need right now is to promote it on social media, and try to better up you thumbnail. I don't understand your video's language but from what I watch, your videos already great. Keep up the good work!
@@cupofjoen OMG!! Thanks for your opinion. Comming soon our videos will be with subtitle
It’s unfortunate that videos such as this continue to demonstrate unsafe set practices with standard gear.
Please learn how to properly use a Cstand for ease of use and a safe set.
🍻
What did he do wrong? I’m not seeing it..
@@mark83175 They are not putting the load over the biggest leg. In fact, they are putting the load over no leg at all. They aren’t using sandbags and I don’t think there is any mention of how to safely use the knuckle. I really wish they would take this video down because it’s going to lead to someone getting hurt or gear getting destroyed.
You just need the attention huh?
@@OhanaFilms exactly
@@CaravanCamera Show us how it's done then bro! No shade.
nice video great stuff keep it up!
Excellent video .. learned a lot !
Glad it was helpful!
Solid video bro!
Glad you liked it!
Hi Comellus, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Question: Do you need a extra camera-foot piece for mounting the camera on the boom arm 3:48 ? I think I'm seeing some interlink piece there.
Thanks for the information. You didnt talk about the C stand with the rollers ?
VERY HELPFUL
Glad it helped!
Is there a reason your grip heads are backward from standard use? Typically the baby pin on the light stand would go into the straight receiver side of the grip head and the extension/book arm would go into the circular part of the head. Doing it your way, the weight would be pulling it in the loosening direction (unless you had the tightening knob on the left), which isn't safe.
I noticed that too, in some of the shots they weren’t following the right-hand rule which is not safe.
Lots of broken c-stand safety rules in this video.
Hi Tanner, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Thank you!
You have a video for just about anything photography ! 😎
Hi guys, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Lights and large modifiers should not be mounted directly to the grip arm but instead should be mounted to a baby pin which is held by the knuckle attachment at the end of the grip arm. All the weight should be on the tallest leg on the turtle stand and the grip arm should be attached on the right side in order for the weight to tighten the knuckle instead of loosen it. Sandbags over the largest leg should always be used if you are booming the grip arm outside of the center of gravity of the stand itself.
great thanks
Just wondering if you guys plan on stocking Avenger C-Stands? I tend to purchase my C-Stands from bigger companies or from B&H because I dont mess around with cheap stands. If not, do you have anything you have that comes close to stainless steel chrome Avenger C-Stands?
Hi Poet, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Thanks!
only hear for the camera tripod part lol
what is the fluid head you guys use with the c stand? to make that over head shot.
I know this is off topic from your video. If I were to get an 86" seamless backdrop would I need to do post production to add the sides in for full body shots or would it be just right?
This is gonna depend on the lens that you use and how far away you are from your subject but 86 and 106 are commonly used for backdrops and at the typical portrait lengths 85+ it’s going to let you get a lot of shots with a solid background
Hi Cheek, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
How about Edelkrone's JIBONE v2? Can this hold this unit?
Thanks king
YOUR VIDEO IS AWESOME
Thank you!
Never mount a light on the end of the stand without a head and a pin if you do it the way you show the light will always spin no amount of tightening is going to keep it from spinning. One solution I've done in the past is to get a grinder and grind a flat spot at the end of the pole and screw your light on that flat spot it will keep it in place better, but ideally you want a 4-6 in pin
Hi Gbunton, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
What's the u shaped bracket for the light in the right hand side of video beginning? Can that mount on ad 600?
Hi Joshua, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
nice video! which kind of Diffuser Sheet is this and where can I buy one?
Hi Nital, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Does a c stand exist that has a load capacity greater than 22 pounds or 10 kg.
I'm asking because the weight of the Aputure 3oo x + light dome 2 is 21.7 pounds ... So, any sand bags or counter weights would exceed the stands load capacity.

Is possible to have the link for to buy the C-stands?
Second question, at 4:35, you mount the light on the end of the boom arm - it's a little small, but does the boom arm have a built-in baby pin?
Hi, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
There's a gobo head on which the baby pin goes. They didn't use it. The light in the gobo/baby pin configuration gives more options and stability. The way he put it requires over tightening the light onto the arm so it doesn't slip and point downwards, thus requiring over tightening and denting the aluminum arm. He has the gobo right there! Please please DO NOT follow this unsafe video. ... not to mention the weight is not over the long leg, and they are not sand weighted. Mediocre, un safe video. Learn before you try to teach
@@talentphotography That's what I thought when I saw him mount on the wrong end. I thought that side had a built in baby pin, so I had to ask. But I agree. What this video shows is something deeply dangerous and why I asked the question. Sadly, it wasn't answered. After looking again, it really does look like a flat surface and no safety indentation for the light's screw to fix into. Thanks for clarifying my suspicions. This is a very worrying video.
@@talentphotography I just saw at 4:50; you can clearly see a built in baby pin at the wrong end of the boom arm. *facepalm*
Tf is a baby pin?
Where to buy light stand boom arm😊
Just ordered the Neewer C-Stand
brilliant choice!

Hi friend, what brand are the C-stands you are using?
Hi Carlo,
The C-Stands we are using in this video are from Neewer. We currently don't sell them but they are a very popular brand!
Team Hypop
Hi Gianni, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
What about the rollers?
One of the best videos on C-stands which covers all of its various uses, thank you! Can you also provide links on where we can buy the accessories (boom pole, how you attach the external recorder to the boom pole, etc)? Just trying to decide whether it's worth paying extra for the C-stand if it can do all those things, as opposed to for the same price getting 3 stainless steel heavy-duty light stands.
Most of the c-stands come with the boom arm and gobo / grip heads. For the microphone holder search "boompole holder" on Amazon :)
Oh, i think you misunderstood, I meant what did you use to mount the external recorder /which is separate from the microphone)? Check out 3:09. What is the attachment you're using to hold up the Zoom recorder? Thanks so much!
Hi, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
@@hypop Not on your website?
Very well thanks for this video and thoughts 👍🏾 👏🏾
link the c stand !!!!
What kind of bag is that at 1:28?
A standard 10kg weighted sandbag
@@hypop it looked like it was made out of a very different material than most of the common ones I have seen and looked like it might be more flexible, etc.
The only stand I wanted to hear about that was in the photo was not talked about
Never get a c-stand lesson from a still photographer. Ask a grip to teach you. I don't have time to teach you but don't let this be the video you wrap your head around.
Hi Mike, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
I want c stands but they’re too heavy for me to move around. When I get a studio or a car I’ll invest
Dude, this is the definitive video on c-stands. So helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Toe, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
this loks liike only studios. What about outdoors?
C-stands are equally useful on-location / outdoors. There are sliding leg c-stands available that allow you to securely set up a stand on various different terrains. Using weighted sandbags is a necessity on location
Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
Hi Keaton, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Literally none of the uses are exclusive to c stands, just buy a grip head and boom arm and you can do all of these with a sturdy traditional collapsable lightstand
Agreed! However a lot of standard collapsible light stands aren't as heavy duty.
Hi Johnny, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Great video. So many comments about unsafe usage from pros. Intent is good, but anyone who does NOT know HOW to use a c stand would be/should be watching a different video-much slower paced with detailed instructions on operation. I understand this video was meant to be a quick walkthrough on the versatility of c stands, the different usages, and reasons to invest in one (or more) and you did a great job doing just that.
Hi SV, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
What is up with that background?
Hi Giovanni, We are a new crew from Ecuador, please We need your opinions about our videos. Thanks 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
I think they’re called C stands because they were made by Century Film & Grip…. Someone fact check that before I leave the video and forget to do so myself lol
I was here for the heavy duty c stand with wheels and you didn't even touched on it :(
Thank you !
