I use this product as part of my home studio. It is very sturdy and fits my needs.
Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
I use this in my travel kit, it supports two cloth backdrops ok,the springs in the stands and some of the pieces came apart almost upon initial use, but with duct tape and glue it does the job, The case still functions after 6 months of heavy use, You definately get what you pay for here, and for the price I would purchase it again, I don't think it would work well for paper rolls but I haven't tried it, It has held up for six months of heavy use , but not as well as I would have liked.

I use the product for indoor,outdoor studio sessions.The only downfall is that it could not retract some more when not in use...

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
This background support is decent. It works as advertised. I've used mine for over thirty shoots now, with it being set up, taken down, and stored in the back of my SUV in between. It sets up easily and quickly enough.
One of the plastic grommets on the crossbar came out when I first extended it, but I simply glued it back into place. No big deal. The crossbar connects with a detent ball, and the joint is strong. The upright fittings are a little more cheaply made than more expensive units, but the aluminum tubing seems to be of the same gauge and strength. The footprint is large enough to give confidence.
I use faux suede and clamps as a background, not seamless. The support seems to be strong enough to support the weight of seamless paper. The carrying case is adequately made, but of the quality you would expect.
All in all, if a budget background support is on your list, this one fullfills the role well.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
This is a cheap background support system. The two stands are weak and flimsy; I would not trust this extended with a 9' foot roll of paper, and defiantly not with a 12' roll.
The carrying case that it came in ripped within the 2nd time of use

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
Pretty much as represented but I think the cross bar could be a little heavier. Just my opinion Adorma service is excellent by the way.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
I ordered this backdrop support set, since it was one of the largest available on the market without having to do any after-market add-on. When it arrived, I was happy with the easy way this stand can be transported-it all packs up into one skinny case that velcros closed. Very happy!

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
I haven't had a chance to use this yet but have set it up to check it out, I find the stand to be very sturdy and well made. It all fits into the carry bag which is heavy duty and will be easy to handle and store, Overall a good buy for the price.
Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
In comparing the price versus performance I feel this is a good value. I don't use it every day so it fulfills my needs well. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the case and how well everything fits the SECOND time you put it away; usually you have to fight to get everything back in. The crossbar is a little lighter than I might want, but not enough to be a major concern.
Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
This is a nice heavy duty stand to support almost any weight background you can throw at it. However, it works best in a studio setting as it is somewhat heavy with a bulkiness that does not lend it well to travel. This stand is a really good value for the money and should last quite a while.
Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
I love it! It didn't come with instructions, but was fairly easy to figure out. I love the storage case, its portable and not too bulky or heavy.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
All around very good kit, hardware has good fit and finish. The stands are sturdy and work smoothly. The stands could be used as light stands except the top stud is an M10x1.5 thread, and all my umbrella brackets are 3/8-16 threads so the brackets don't fit. I'll probably make an adapter sometime. The case is well designed; the outside is a very good nylon fabric with good zippers. There is some vinyl on the inside dividers, but it should be okay. The weight and size of the unit in it's case is not too hard to deal with. Overall this is a good kit at a great price. I don't foresee ever needing a better set-up.
Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
Easy set up
Like the travel bag it comes with
Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
This kit is built perfectly. The case it comes with is worth [$] alone. The case has seperate compartments for each of the 2 stands and individual elastic rings for the cross bars. The stands are very sturdy and easy to use. Stands can be used for light stands as well.I have a 10 ft backdrop and I only use 3 of the 4 cross bars. It is very wide. This is a top quality kit and highly recommended.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 13' Free Standing Background Support Stand.:
After extensive research, purchased this set of stands and a couple cloth drapes. The quality of the stands is excellent (and they are air cushioned). Crossbar flexes some at four lengths, but not a deal breaker (used at three most of the time anyway). Case is well made and thought out. Fast set up and break down. Have not used the extra height yet, but it's there if needed. Very close to five stars.
