Photek 12' Four Section Positive Locking Background Crossbar

This is a good quality product. it does come with holes on both ends but they will not fit in the end of my light stands. I plan to drill one side of the hole out so the end of the stand will fit. its an easy fix. this bar comes in 4 pieces and is very portable. they even offer extensions if you need a wider bar.

I have used this brand of background crossbar for the last 12 years. It is far better than other types in that the sections are easy to assemble, lock in position with a twist and break down into sections about 3 feet 4 inches. Very easy to carry in bag. I use two sets for large groups (10x24 foot backgrounds). You need 3 light stands for a 24 foot wide setup. Great value.

This is stronger than the crossbar I had been using, which sagged in the middle. Easy to put together and take apart.

I have another one of these but needed a new one for an upcoming event. It's a great design, simple and effective. Had my previous one for years and is still as good as the day I bought it.

The new one has a slight problem though. The insert of one of the bars was over machined and is much, much smaller than the opening of the next bar. This means there's a slight sag, and I think over time, that bit of play is going to open up the shape of the bar it attaches to.

I fixed it with tape to pad out the fitting but think this is something that could be better quality checked.
