If you are going to use C-Stands the most important rule you have to know is the "Right Knuckle Rule".

The Knuckle of the any extension always has to be on the right side of the stand, that way if an arm becomes loose it will tighten as it drops.

I'll try to post some pictures later on.

This is a lot more important than everyone thinks...

You also want to make sure your big leg faces the work. That means if you have a flag armed out, you want to have the big leg of the C-stand facing towards the flag. That way all of the strain of the flag is supported by something and something that won't tip over itself.

The last thing you want to remember is you always want your c-stand to be as straight up and down as possible. A c-stand with it's arm fully extended at a 90 degree angle is no good. It poses a good risk to people walking by and accidently poking their eye out.

Just some helpful hints!
