Product Description

Overview

The KUPO 470B Followspot Stand is the black-finish version of KUPOs single-riser followspot support, built for theaters, concert stages, and broadcast spaces where the stand should stay out of sight. A powder coated steel post, anodized aluminum legs, 28 mm receiver, leveling leg, and memory collar support fixtures up to 40 kg.

Why It Matters

Followspot and heavy fixture positions often sit where the audience, camera, and operator can all see the hardware. The 470B keeps the stand visually quiet while preserving the strength and practical setup details that make the chrome 470 a rental-standard platform.

Key Features

  • Black powder coated center post reduces glare in theater and broadcast environments
  • 40 kg load rating supports followspots and larger fixture heads with practical working margin
  • Memory collar helps return to a repeat height after transport or show changes
  • Leveling leg compensates for raked stages and uneven venue floors
  • M10 threaded foot accepts the KC-100 caster set for controlled rolling moves

A strong fit for followspots, floor-mounted moving lights, heavy studio heads, concert side-light positions, and broadcast sets where black hardware helps the support disappear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can 470B 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.
