Sliding-Leg C-stand
INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction
Thank you for choosing Impact.
Impact’s C-stand features a 40-inch double riser. The C-stand is
constructed with oversized steel tubing for maximum rigidity and
strength to hold light xtures and accessories up to 22 pounds.
This sliding-leg model has a movable top leg that’s designed for
leveling the stand on uneven surfaces like stairs or a curb.
Impact’s unique quick-release leg lock simplies opening and
closing the legs for rapid deployment and breakdown. Three leg
heights make it possible to soldier these stands closely together
for convenient light placement, transport, and storage.

Precautions ⚠
• Please read and follow these
instructions, and keep this manual
in a safe place.
• Make sure that this product
is intact and that there are no
missing parts.
• Do not exceed the maximum load
capacity.
• Use caution when operating this
product with the maximum load
capacity.
• Make sure all connections and
locking knobs are secure before
proceeding.
• Always use sandbags.
• Be careful not to catch or pinch
your ngers when opening and
closing the legs and adjusting
riser sections.
• Always make sure the load is
supported when loosening any of
the riser knobs to adjust the height
of the stand.
• Make sure the load is balanced.
• When handling a kit (grip head
and grip arm mounted on top pin),
always grab the riser and grip
arm together to prevent your hand
from catching between the arm
and the main riser.
• When opening and closing the
legs, make sure the area around
you is clear. Be especially aware
of the perimeter where the legs
swing open and closed, as well
the other end of the center
column.
• When opening the legs, make sure
the sliding leg is locked in with
the bottom two legs. If the sliding
leg is not locked in, it can slide up
the center column, and the legs
won’t open. If this happens, you
can manually adjust the sliding leg
to lock it in place, and then open
the legs.

Loosen the locking handle, and place the grip head’s
baby receiver over the baby pin. Then tighten the
locking handle until secure.
Attaching the Grip Arm
1. Face the grip head’s T-handle, and loosen the
T-handle.
2. Make sure the 5/8-inch hole is on top of the
