When it says load capacity, is that per roll or them all? ie it says 22lb, where the roll is 16lb, but it holds 3 rolls of paper.
The load capacity is per auto pole. So for two as in the kit it can support up to 44 lbs.A roll of Seamless 107 x 36' weighs 14 lbs. (6.3kg)

question
Can I buy a better chain that will not break other than the aluminum ones included?
Unfortunately, there are only a plastic or metal chain option for this system. To minimize breakage on the plastic chain, you can shorten the length by removing links as needed.

question
Hi, What is the difference between this kit and the one listed as Manfrotto 2961D Complete Deluxe AutoPole-2 Expan Kit ?Thanks
While both kits have the same height, their respective locking mechanisms are different. The standard Autopole requires the user to push a release button to unlock the lever and reduce the height. The deluxe Autopole would require the user to simply pull the level downward and toward them to reduce the height. For those who need to set up backgrounds on a less permanent basis, the Deluxe AutoPole 2 Expan Kit is a better option.
