Impact Heavy-Duty Crossbar Overview

The silver Heavy-Duty 9' Adjustable Background Crossbar from Impact is a 3-section telescoping crossbar that adjusts from 45 to 118". It securely holds a 9' roll of seamless paper or smaller cored roll, or any 10' muslin background (adjustable pole maximum width for fabric is 118"). It fits on top of two stands with 5/8" studs. Two thumb screws secure the crossbar onto the 5/8" studs.

Material
Brushed aluminum construction
Adjustable Length
The crossbar adjusts from 45 to 118". The telescoping sections let you adjust the length of your crossbar to any paper or fabric background within those lengths. You can adjust to the precise length to fit irregular background sizes, so your background doesn't have side-to-side play.
Three Telescoping Sections
The three non-locking telescoping sections won't jam or stick so you can easily adjust the length of the crossbar to different sized widths.
Sturdy Tubing
A 9' roll of seamless paper is a heavy weight for the crossbar, and if the crossbar isn't strong enough, the crossbar, and the roll, can sag and cause your paper background to crinkle. The heavy-duty tubing prevents the paper roll's core from sagging, so your paper background will stay flat and pristine.
Locking T-Screws
The included locking T-screws on both ends of the crossbar ensure that your background is securely anchored to your light stands.

Nice crossbar seems well made. My only complaint is that the lock screws were both bent. Note to manufacture, tape lock screws to pole when packaging.

A steel c stand and steel mini boom plus counterweight would be better for supporting an instrument over a crossbar which is not designed to support a large weight suspended from one point.
