Photek Background Support System Overview

Complementing the Backgrounds-in-a-Bag, this unique package will support seamless paper up to 11' in width, as well as accommodate the 12' width of the Backgrounds-in-a-Bag, or any brand of muslin background.

The system consists of 2 heavy-duty professional support stands with 3 positive locking levers and tubular legs, a sturdy 4 piece crossbar that snaps together with positive button locking devices, and a heavy-duty canvas carry bag.

It is suggested to secure the stands with gaffer tape, or weight bags when using any background setup where there are several people, or active children on the set.

Strong support for paper, or cloth backgrounds.
Crossbar may be used in 2 or 3 sections.

Versatile, sturdy and gets the job done. Love the locking rods. They let me dial in the width that I need.

Are the legs on the tripods round? If so, what is their diameter?
Asked by: Matthew
The bottom of the stands are round. And they seem to be around 22mm. Note, the stands in that kit are not really made to work with wheels/casters.

BH Photo, would you really allow this product to be duplicated on your site? It's the same picture as the Impact Background Support System. Poor service.
Asked by: Nate S.

question

Can this be used with this bracket? Do I need any additional attachments?Smith-Victor BPR Accessory Brackets for 3 Crossbars
Asked by: Michael G.
It appears that the bracket would work just fine. The top of the stands just have a simple pin that is very long, and it appears the brackets would fit.

question

what weight of material will the crossbar hold? I will need to hang a 9'x16' canvas and want to make sure it won't be too heavy for this stand. Thanks in advance!
Asked by: Vera
It seems to be a very strong material, I have not used that heavy of material, and it would also depend on how far you extend it.

question

Can someone tell me the length of each of the crossbar pieces please? :)
Asked by: Diego
Each Cross bar is 3' wide. I sometimes use 3 of them in tighter spaces which still allows for a standard paper roll of 108 wide or a 10' muslin, just clip the muslin to the sides to keep it wrinkle/wave - free.
