Topic: Quick grip equipment question

I had someone recently give me two of their old c-stands; sorta...  One of the stands is complete but the other one had a broken detachable turtle base.  The main part of the stand and the grip head and arm are in great condition since the stands are only a couple years old i think.  The brand is digital juice and I can't find anywhere that will just sell me a turtle base.  My question is; can I just buy any manufacture's detachable turtle base and use that with the rest of the stand?  Are all the different manufactures products that interchangeable?  Thank you all, and yes I've been around, just haven't had as much time to chime in these days... big_smile   Thanks in advanced for any help you can offer.

Re: Quick grip equipment question

I wish I'd seen this before I left LA (I'm on a trip right now), you coulda shot me a photo of your hardware and I'd walk into a FilmTools and eyeball all the things and go "yeah, I think your thing would fit into whatever you get" or not.

Off the top of my head... I'd guess you could probably make it work, between applying your best guess in the buying process and then doing crafty shit with a trip to the hardware store. But I can also totally imagine that not being true because the world is a cruel place.
