For your 2014 Toyota Prius c I recommend the Yakima Baseline Roof Rack System which uses 50" Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06135, and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06179 as long as you do not have a glass roof or a sunroof. This system offers a 165lb weight capacity, and will give you 50" of useable crossbar space.
If your Prius c does have a glass roof or sunroof, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack System which uses 41" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA106B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK351. This system will have a slightly lower weight capacity of 110lbs, and will give you 41" of useable crossbar space.
I was unable to find the exact roof rack requirements for your I-Kamper Mini Tent, so I recommend checking with the manufacturer to verify the crossbar weight capacity requirements, and if it can be used with a roof rack system for a bare roof.
I included videos of both roof rack systems being installed on a Prius c for you to take a look at.
