Shop Kupo grip and support gear at Excellent Photo in Montreal: C-stands, clamps, adapters, flags, apple boxes, background paper stands and cable accessories for the studio or for location shoots.
Choosing Kupo stands and support gear
Start with what you need to hold. C-stands are the workhorse of lighting and grip, and the height you pick depends on the space: a shorter stand suits tabletop and low-angle work, while a taller one reaches over sets and subjects. We carry the Kupo CL-20M 20" C-Stand, the 30" CL-30M and the Kupo CL-40M 40" C-Stand, each with a sliding leg and quick release, in silver or black finishes. A kit version, the Kupo CL-40MK 40" C-Stand Kit, is also available.
Clamps, adapters and small hardware
Most rigs are built from small parts. The KUPO Super Grip Finger W/ Base and the 2-1/2" grip head hold flags, arms and accessories, while spring A clamps secure paper, diffusion and backgrounds. Browse our mounting hardware and accessories for 5/8" adapters, studs, cold shoe and hot shoe mounts, 1/4" and 3/8" screw adapters, safety wire and brackets. Check the thread size or spigot on your light, monitor or camera before ordering an adapter.
Studio equipment and cable management
Apple boxes in half and full sizes give you a stable platform or a quick height boost. Background paper stand sets and drive sets help you set up a seamless backdrop, and shot bags add weight to keep stands steady. For tidy cables, see the cable accessories, including EZ TIE cable ties and holders and ball bungees.
