ABOUT KUPO
WHO WE ARE
KUPO is one of the leading hardware solutions providers in the entertainment industry, supporting a wide spectrum of applications from traditional film, television, theatre and live events to emerging fields such as Virtual Production (VP). We design, manufacture and distribute sophisticated products, including lighting and camera support, power connection, gear protection cases, shopfitting displays, lifting equipment and control systems.
For more than four decades, Kupo has established a well-recognized reputation for quality and innovation. Our customers span the globe and work behind the scenes as photographers, video and cine image-providers, theatre technicians, concert-hall and touring crews, lighting designers, and increasingly, virtual production stage operators and LED-volume integrators. Kupo has forged its own path to the world by crafting innovative tools with unparalleled quality, sought after and shaped by industry professionals worldwide.
To meet these professionals’ needs, we offer numerous patented products including the quick-release and locking C-stand, multidirectional easy-storage Click Stand, auto self-locking Wind-Up Stand, lever-lock and release device for Kupole, anti-slip rosette friction disc for Max Arms, quick-action Telescopic Hanger, and many more. All Kupo products are painstakingly machined so you can count on their incredible strength and durability in harsh production environments—including the demanding conditions of ICVFX/virtual production stages where precision, rigidity and repeatability are critical.
They are so durable, in fact, that they create a history of their own through their many years of service. Moreover, Kupo’s reliability is certified by TUV-GS, CE, UL and CUL for various electrical products, as well as for our most popular Wind-Up Stands, clamps, couplers and safety wires.
