Initially I felt it was a bit pricey, Now after using it, it's worth the price! It is sturdy and light, easy to be put in place by a single individual. My guess is you can rate it by the fact that I'm likely going to buy a second one.

Are the holes on the ends suitable to just place ...

Are the holes on the ends suitable to just place on top of 2 C-Stands or is there a similar product that is? Otherwise what else do I need? Does it need to be extended at certain positions to 'lock' in place to be strong or can you put at any position? Lastly I see in one of the comments this has been discontinued but still available???
Asked by: Cameron
Each end of the cross bar is suitable to fit over a 5/8" stud, even the studs on a C-stand which are the same size. We have not heard any plans of this product being discontinued on the manufacturer's end.

question

I want to use this with Norman stands that have a 5/8 post. Will the screws tighten down to 5/8 ?
Asked by: Tom M.
Yes, the pole will attach to studs.

question

Can two of these be connected together to make a longer crossbar, like some Manfrotto crossbars?
Asked by: Frank
No, because the BackDrop Pole is designed for lengths from 47 to 126. Going longer would sag and stress the pole.

question

how much weight is too much for this pole? A 150 ft roll of seamless weighs 100lbs. Will this pole hold that easily?
Asked by: Ryan S.
I think that much weight would be a challenge, and is more than I would want to trust for safe and dependable support, especially if it is eight or nine feet above the floor. Whether you are photographing a person or persons, or a product or products, that amount of load on stands and a crossbar is more than I would choose to elevate eight or nine feet.
