Impact Background Stabilizing Bar Overview

From Manufacturer

This convenient 55" Impact Background Stabilizing Bar (3-pack) from B&H helps create flawless backgrounds without the need for tape, A-clamps, or sandbags . This useful photo and video accessory attaches to the bottom edge of any paper, vinyl, or fabric backdrop and weighs it down, prevents wrinkles, and sets up a sweep ideal for capturing your subject.

Lightweight aluminum construction makes this a travel-ready and time-saving accessory for any photo or video shoot.

Creates a Perfect Sweep
Clamping the stabilizing bar to the bottom edge of a backdrop will prevent the fabric, paper, or vinyl roll from curling up. You'll have the perfect sweep for your background.
Prevents Wrinkles
A single stabilizing bar can achieve the same result as attaching multiple A-clamps to the bottom of a background. It snaps onto the bottom edge of the background and weighs it down to keep it taut and wrinkle-free.
Prevents Tears
Attach the bar to the bottom edge of paper backgrounds so you won't have to remove a foot or two off the end of the paper roll when it tears. Attach a stabilizing bar to all your paper backgrounds and make sure they don't tear when you deploy them, saving you time and money.

Impact Background Stabilizing Bar Reviews

Great idea....

I have been in the industry for a very long time and was excited to finally learn about leader/stabilizing bars for seamless. I excitedly ordered several. The concept is brilliant but, unfortunately, the usage not easy. I ended up cutting the roll of paper so many times trying to get it perfectly straight to have the bar hold the paper the entire length. First lesson learned is that it is much easier to be working with a brand new roll of seamless. Regardless, even when attaching to a new roll I found the process challenging to attach the bar along a 107" roll alone. A 2nd set of hands would probably make the job much easier. Most importantly, I am finding as I have done several sessions since attaching the bars that very sadly and frustratingly, they don't seem to stay attached well to the paper. I have a backdrop system that holds 6 rolls of paper and each time I roll one up and down the bars are falling off. When they are rolled down and on the floor it works wonderfully, no longer having to use tape to keep them in one spot and flat. The bar takes care of that. But they shouldn't fall off when rolled back up. Super disappointed. I initially was intending to purchase 6 bars for this system as well as 3 for my other system holding shorter length paper. Don't think I will move forward with the purchase as a result of them not staying put.

Very sturdy

I like this brand better than the savage so far all impact brand equipment that I have purchased has been great quality. Although leader bars that clamp on are a little tricky to put on longer lengths
