C-Stand 24" Heavy-Duty Shorty
Stand Only
The Perfect Middle Ground.
The Norms Studio 24” C-Stand, also known as a "Furniture Stand" or "Shorty," bridges the gap between low-angle setups and full-height stands.
Ideal for tabletop photography, seated interviews, and background lights.
Built in the USA from heavy-duty steel and backed by the Industry’s First Lifetime Warranty (on stands made/purchased in 2025+).
The "Just Right" Height for Versatile Rigging
The Norms Studio 24" C-Stand is the essential problem solver for professional sets. Often called the "Furniture Stand," it is engineered for situations where a standard 40" stand is too tall, but a 20" stand doesn't offer enough reach. It is the go-to tool for lighting seated talent, rigging tabletop product shots, or hiding lights behind furniture and low walls.
Made in the USA – Industrial Grade Durability Crafted in our US facility since 1962, this stand features the same bombproof Steel construction as our legendary 40" models. Whether you choose the classic Chrome finish or the stealthy Void Black, you are getting a piece of gear designed to survive decades of rental and studio use.
Tailored Base Options:
- Sliding Leg: The standard for uneven terrain and stairs.
- Spring Load Turtle Base: Detachable for easy transport and allows the riser to be swapped for a junior pin adapter.
Industry-First Lifetime Warranty We stand behind our steel. We offer a Lifetime Warranty on all Grip Stands made by Norms Studio in 2025 and after and purchased in 2025 and after.
