C-Stand
C-stands are almost entirely made of metal and are designed to be very tough and sturdy, capable of holding fairly heavy equipment. The shortened term "C-Stand", which means "Century Stand", comes from the early days of motion picture production. Back then, filmmakers heavily relied on reflectors to light actors. The most popular one was the 100 inch or "century" sized reflector, so the stand that held this reflector was often referred to as "century stand".
