Impact Background Support System Reviews

Solid Purchase

By Peter
Rated 4 out of 5

I've used this once so far, and I feel it was a good purchase. the cross bars and each stand are solid pieces, not flimsy. The crossbars have a unique connection, just insert and twist. A lot easier and faster than the usual pinch to insert, and remove. The crossbars seem to just fit over each stand, which is quicker than screwing them in, but does take getting used to, since you can't raise the height via the crossbar, since it's not connected to the stands...not a big deal, just an adjustment. And while the case is better than the last one I owned, it is still of a lower quality material, and slightly flimsy. It does come with a shoulder strap, which is handy. All tolled, it's worth the $110.

Product + BH Support = A+

I bought this frame for a green screen I use at work to teach film to K-12 students. The frame is sturdy and easy to use, and when there was a minor issue, B&H responded quickly and connected me with the manufacturer, who was also friendly and knowledgeable! I was so impressed with the product and the support I received.
