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.

The 161cm Studio C-Stand Stainless with 20” Boom is made from stainless steel, with a shiny chrome finish, which makes it extremely strong, and capable of taking loads of up to 10kg in weight. This makes them ideal for heavy light fixtures used in TV and Film productions, as well as in professional photographic studios.

Technically yes, you can put a camera on a C-stand, I just want to be totally honest with you here that I never do it.I wish I could shoot on lower surfaces, but they’re chef’s/cooks doing their thing, so regular kitchen counter tops it is!
