The C-Stand

What are three key important details when setting up a C-stand properly? How should you store and carry C-Stands?

    Three key details when setting up a C-stand are the orientation of the legs, the knuckles should be on right side, and always bagging your stands. When setting up the stand, it is important that you have the tallest leg of the stand directly under the weight, that way it won't be able to tip over. You should always keep the knuckles on the right side when you stand behind the C-stand so that, if it is loose, the knuckle will self tighten as the weight tries to fall. It is super important to always sand bag your C-stands in order to prevent the stand from toppling over. The sandbag should always be on the tallest leg for it to not touch the floor. You should store C-stands by soldiering them, which means putting the big leg over the medium leg so that they remain stable and modular. You should carry C-stand by constantly calling out "points" in order to prevent someone from getting hit by the stands.
