question

Where can I order extra threaded lock screws that attach to the ends? Thanks!
Asked by: Efrem
The Manfrotto part number for those screws is R098,12, which is something we do not carry at this time. You may obtain them through Manfrotto directly by calling 201-818-9500.

question

How do you feed the paper roll or background fabric over the big ends of this pole? Are they removable? Thanks.
Asked by: NANCY
Most seamless paper rolls have a hollow cardboard core in the center which is over 2" and which will accept this cross bar inside of it. With a fabric background, it all depends on the make/model of the background, as some pole pockets can be wide and other can be narrow.
