The short version of a regular C-stand, these stands are designed mainly for holding light modifiers such as flags.  They have a low base (designed for sand bags) and a steel ⅝” pin at the top.  A puck fits over the pin and holds the grip arm, which has another clamping puck at the end.  These pucks have different sizes of tubular slots for holding pins or flags.  Some of ours are painted black for low reflectance, and some are chromed.  All of ours have 3 stages with a removable turtle base.
