Product Description
Overview
The KUPO 470 Followspot Stand is a chrome single-riser stand for followspots, large fixtures, and ballasted heads that need a low, strong support rather than a tall column. Its chrome plated steel post, anodized aluminum legs, 28 mm receiver, leveling leg, and memory collar create a practical 40 kg platform for repeat show work.
Why It Matters
A followspot stand needs to feel boring in the best way: steady, repeatable, and easy to return to the same mark. The 470 brings that discipline to venues and rental houses, with enough load capacity for heavy heads and enough setup memory for shows that reset night after night.
Key Features
- 40 kg load rating suits followspots, larger fixtures, and heavy floor-supported heads
- Memory collar preserves repeat height settings between setups and show calls
- Leveling leg helps square the stand on raked stages and uneven venue floors
- Chrome plated steel post with aluminum legs balances strength with manageable handling weight
- M10 threaded zinc-cast foot accepts KC-100 casters for rolling repositioning

Frequently Asked Questions
Can 470 handle its rated load at full height?
Yes, when the load is centered, the stand is on suitable ground, and the rig is ballasted correctly. Treat the 40 kg rating as the ceiling for the complete mounted package.
Will the 28 mm receiver work with common lighting heads?
Yes. It matches standard professional grip and lighting hardware in this class. Check older rental stock before the show if the fixture spigot is unusual.
Should I add casters for studio work?
Casters help when the stand moves repeatedly on smooth floors. Lock every wheel before raising the fixture, and avoid rolling a tall loaded stand through cables or uneven thresholds.
