Setting up a C-Stand

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

When setting up a C-stand, all of the the tallest leg must be under the weight. This is also where the sand bag is placed. If the sand bag is on any other leg, it can be touching the floor, decreasing the effectiveness of the weight. The knuckle should always be placed on the right side so that objects tightens itself when it begins to drop in case it was not fully secured. When storing the C-stand, they must be soldiered so that the legs do not cross paths. When carrying these stands around, it is important to notify the people around by calling out "points."
