More height. More capacity. Same fast Cheetah Stand workflow.
The Cheetah Stand C10 Auto Stand combines our signature automatic leg system with a taller, stronger design for photographers who need more from their lighting setup.
Simply lift the stand and the legs automatically fold in. Set it back down and the legs automatically deploy. No bending over. No manually folding and unfolding tripod legs. Just pick it up, move your light, and keep shooting.
With a 10-foot maximum height and an 10 lb load capacity, the C10 is an excellent all-around choice for off-camera flash, compact strobes, LEDs, softboxes, umbrellas, and location lighting.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
⚡ AUTO-OPENING & CLOSING LEGS
This is what makes a Cheetah Stand different.
Pick it up — the legs automatically close.
Set it down — the legs automatically open.
Move your lighting from one position to another in seconds without stopping to collapse and reopen the legs.
For photographers constantly adjusting lights throughout a shoot, those saved steps add up fast.
📏 10 FEET OF HEIGHT
Need to get your light up and out of the way?
The C10 extends to a full 120" / 10 feet, giving you additional height for elevated key lights, hair lights, rim lights, group photography, and lighting larger areas.
Its approximately 36" minimum height also gives you plenty of flexibility for lower lighting positions.
💪 10 LB LOAD CAPACITY
The C10 supports lighting setups up to 10 lbs, making it a great step up from the smaller C8 when you're working with larger lights or modifiers.
It's an excellent match for equipment such as:
- Godox AD200 - AD300 - AD400
- Westcott FJ200 - FJ250 - FJ400
- Profoto A2 - B20
- Speedlights
- Compact strobes
- LED lights
- Umbrellas
- 24"–36" softboxes
- Small to medium modifiers
For larger strobes and heavier modifiers, consider one of Cheetah Stand's Heavy Duty Auto Stand models.
📸 MADE FOR FAST-PACED SHOOTS
The C10 is built for photographers who don't stay in one place.
Perfect for:
- Weddings
- Events
- Sports portraits
- On-location portraits
- Headshots
- School photography
- Corporate photography
- Real estate photography
- Studio work
- Content creation
Lift the stand to move through crowded rooms, narrow aisles, or busy event spaces. Set it down and you're ready to shoot again.
⚖️ STRONG WITHOUT THE BULK
At only 4.3 lbs, the C10 gives you additional height and carrying capacity while remaining easy to transport and reposition throughout the day.
The 38" footprint provides a stable base when deployed, while the stand collapses down to just 35.5" for transportation and storage.
LESS BENDING. FASTER WORKFLOW.
Traditional light stands make you stop what you're doing every time you need to reposition a light.
Bend down. Fold the legs. Move the stand. Open the legs. Reposition everything.
The C10 changes the workflow.
Lift it. Move it. Set it down. Keep shooting.
At weddings, events, sports sessions, and location shoots where lights may be moved dozens of times, the Cheetah Stand automatic leg system helps you spend less time managing equipment and more time creating.
BUILT TO KEEP WORKING
Cheetah Stand supports the C10 with replaceable maintenance parts, helping you maintain your stand instead of replacing the entire stand when individual components wear or get lost.
Professional equipment should be built to work—and built to be maintained.
