Manfrotto 046R Expan Background Paper Drive Set with Red Chain and Weight
The 046R Manfrotto Expan Drive Set incorporates two expandable core units. One side has a large toothed gear to which a nylon link chain affixes, permitting convenient raising and lowering of the background paper roll. The other side has an adjustable tension drag. The double core units are unique in that when the overall screw on which the drive unit is mounted is tightened the drive expands from a minimum of 1.8" to 2".
To accommodate cored paper rolls in any length, all you do is insert the Expans at both ends, tighten up until they're snug and mount the entire assembly on your background holder hooks.
This item replaces old catalog #2920R.
- A heavy duty, metal chain is available separately: 2924.
- This items includes a weight for the plastic chain, to keep it steady.

Comments about Manfrotto 046R Expan Background Paper Drive Set with Red Chain and Weight:
I have recently installed this in combination with a bracket that holds 6 rolls of paper and it works really great. It's fantastic quality, durable and very strong. I am using it for the 107 inch wide paper rolls and have zero complains.
It's super easy to use.

I have recently set up a photographic studio and have used the Manfrotto Expan system to hang my background papers. I like that you can chose different color chain to easily work out which background you wish to use.

Comments about Manfrotto 046R Expan Background Paper Drive Set with Red Chain and Weight:
Handling seamless rolls the old fashioned way may have contributed to my baldness;I pulled my hair out. No more wrestling with the rolls. Simply slide it onto the horizontal tube, pull it out, then, when ready to raise it, simple pull the chain! Couldn't be easier. 5 stars for Bogen!
