Not heavy duty at all.

Definitely would not reccomend. I bought this a year ago and I'm trying to get rid of it. Stands are thin and flimsy.

Ok stand - Way too expensive

This stand was way more lightweight then I expected it to be especially given it is titled 'heavy duty'. It is the stands themselves are significantly lighter in weight then my regular duty Savage brand stand. It does go wider than most and have a couple of security features, but being so lightweight those features go out the window. Also they could have put padded rubber feet on the bottom of the stands. It slides all over.

What model light stands come with this kit? Are they the Manfrotto 1005BAC stands?
Asked by: Tom
Lastolite does not list the specific stands supplied in the kit. They do hot look like the Manfrotto 1005BAC. It looks like it is ones specific for the Lastolite Solo Heavy Duty Background Support System (13').

Can the horizontal pole handle a 55 pound paper roller? What's the capacity weight limit?
Asked by: Scott
According to the manufacturer, the Manfrotto Solo Heavy Duty Background Support System (13') does not have a listed maximum load capacity. However, they did state that as the background support system can support a 13-foot vinyl background, it should also be able to support a 13-foot roll of seamless paper.
