Savage Universal Background Stand Reviews

Sturdy and Easy to Use

I've had this set up in the dual stand mode for over two weeks now, and have had no issues. It's tall enough that even my subjects who are over 6 feet tall have no issues, and it's easy to set up. We've also broken the stand down into a single side to move to a new location, and again had no issues. Breaking down the stand, moving to a new location in the building, resetting, and lighting in the new location took less than 30 minutes.

I just received this stand. One of the wing nuts, on one of the stands, is stripped and/or defective. I cannot raise the stand because I am unable to tighten it. B&H did offer to replace. I d hate to send this whole thing back just for one little wing nut. I contacted Savage so I am hoping they can send me a replacement.

question

How wide are the crossbar sections? Can the stand be used with one less crossbar to make the stand 20' wide instead of 24' wide?
Asked by: Anonymous
I have used this once, and removed one horizontal piece to do just as you described/asked. 20' backdrop fit nicely with one section removed. Also see my other general comments under the question can you select any angle for the middle or are you restricted to 180 and 90 degrees .

How much sag do the crossbars end up having? Want to hang a 20' long muslin on it straight, no corner adapter.
Asked by: Robert
Thanks Reuben but not what I'm asking. Regardless of the center stand, lets say if you only used half the setup 12 feet long (no center), HOW much SAG will it have?

Are the widths adjustable? If I wanted to hang an 8x10 drop on one side and an 8x8 on the other to create a room would I be able to adjust the length to clip the 8x8 drop?
Asked by: Jennifer
Yes. The following unit adapts to telescopic crossbars and very easy to adjust from 4 1/2 ft to 12 ft.

Will this work with a backdrop that is 24' wide? Or do you need two 12' backdrops?
Asked by: Chris
You could make this work with a 24' wide background but you would need to clamp it onto the bars with A-clamps because the middle stand will prevent a background with a pole pocket from passing onto the next bar.

I understand it comes with two 12 foot cross bars, can you make them shorter to make it shorter than 12 feet on each side?
Asked by: Kelly
Each cross bar has sections, you could leave some out to shorten the length.

question

If you do not want the corner setup and only want the full width, how do you attach the middle section without a large gap that the bracket causes? I purchased this expecting to assemble it to look like the second product photo and use two rolls of paper side by side to create a large backdrop. This, however, does not seem possible.
Asked by: Dori R.
We ordered a large cloth background and turned it lengthwise with good results for large family group pictures. We used clamps to attach it to the stand at the top and two ends.
