This is a very useful product. More sturdy than some competing portable background paper stands. The price is very reasonable for the quality and durability. In addition to photography, I use the stand to hold sound absorbing "blankets" for voiceover recording.

I find it annoying that to assemble the poles together it requires you to use an alan wrench to secure them together. As a travel photographer i would not suggest getting this background system unless you want to carry around extra alan wrenches incase the TSA loses yours while rummaging in your bags.

Comments about Smith-Victor Grande Background Paper Rack (12.5', Light Stands and Case):
First time I used this thing it fell over because the stands are so flimsy and don't have wide enough of a base to be going so tall. It's a pain to setup, not difficult, but a pain. It takes away my precious time. The majority of my seamless paper was ruined when it fell, had to try to salvage what I could from the 9' roll and tape it to the wall (which I will continue to do in the future and what I have always done), should have just stuck to what I know. Now I have tons of extra editing to do to take out the seams where I patched paper together.

Comments about Smith-Victor Grande Background Paper Rack (12.5', Light Stands and Case):
I purchased this for studio use, and it's a great product for the price. It can become a bit unstable when extended to 8 ft or more, but so can many other systems. I would recommend attaching weights for more stability.

Comments about Smith-Victor Grande Background Paper Rack (12.5', Light Stands and Case):
You can use it as a background stand - with adjustable with - or you can use the light stands. It's nice for people that don't have a dedicated room as a studio
I was expecting a bit stronger stands - but for the price I guess it's ok
