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. It is a simple yet versatile addition to your studio’s equipment arsenal. The clamping knobs are designed to securely fix the light modifiers in place with added safety, ensuring your setup won’t be compromised.

There are 100’s of items that are made that can attach to a C Stand arm. There aren’t a lot of ways to attach a camera, because of what I mentioned above. In film production, a C-stand (or Century stand) [1] [2] is primarily used to position light modifiers, such as silks, nets, or flags, in front of light sources. [3] The stand is constructed of metal and consists of a collapsible base, two riser columns, and a baby pin on top. In addition, a C-stand typically includes a gobo head and a gobo arm, also known as a grip head and grip arm, [4] which provide the ability to articulate a light modifier without moving the stand itself. The legs of C stands are designed to be nested, so many stands can be placed around a light source.
