Matthews to Display New 5-Inch Pocket C-Stand at 2025 NAB Exhibition
Introducing the Compact Matthews 5-inch Pocket C-Stand
Matthews, a leading manufacturer of grip equipment, is set to unveil the 5-inch Pocket C-Stand at the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 5-9. This scaled-down version of its full-sized counterpart offers similar key features, making it an ideal choice for industry professionals in need of a compact support stand.
The Pocket C-Stand boasts a 5-inch base diameter, making it significantly smaller and more portable than standard C-stands. This compact design is perfect for use in tight spaces, tabletop work, photographic, stop motion, and miniature applications.
The stand also comes with a 1/4-20 adapter, providing versatile mounting options for cameras, lights, or other equipment. This feature, along with the stand's small footprint, suggests it is designed for lightweight setups and ease of transport in production or broadcast environments.
The Pocket C-Stand is built with a rugged steel construction, featuring a double riser and a folding leg for enhanced stability and flexibility. It also includes two fully functional aluminum grip heads, equipped with 3/16-inch holes, and a flow spot on the 3/16-inch mounting surface to prevent mounted items from rolling.
The stand is available in two finishes: black powder coat and chrome version. Additionally, the black powder coat is packaged separately for the first time. The stand also includes a detachable 1/4"-20 screw designed for mounting small cameras, cell phone holders, or other accessories.
