Comments about JTL JTL B-1020, 20'6" Wide Background Support System:

Great value out of the box.
Stand height adjustment clamps required adjustment to ensure no slippage. Crossbar design is a compromise between the looser extension tube type and the type that requires allen wrench tightened sections. The bag has flimsy elastic loops to keep the crossbar sections secure; the more professional design would have individual pocket would be better and faster to use. The two-bag kit is just another piece to check at the airport. Should have been one larger bag. But if it had all those little things changed, it would cost twice as much.

Comments about JTL JTL B-1020, 20'6" Wide Background Support System:

I needed a 20' wide background support system so that I could take pictures of a full class of kids. This product went up easy and with stood a bunch of preschool children running around it and jumping into the background. It actually handled it better than I did.

Comments about JTL JTL B-1020, 20'6" Wide Background Support System:

It's not the highest quality finish, but who cares? For the money, it's quite solid. The bags are kind of cheap but they also do the job. You can set the system up to be as long as a spar or two, or link all three together for the full 20'+

Oddly enough, I now realize I'd prefer to have an additional stand & spar combination (another one can fit in the second case) because when shooting static models, it's a benefit to have two blackout backdrops at ±90° angles. I'd never use it in a 27' long configuration...the flexibility of two backdrops would be great as part of the kit.

Really like the sturdy cross poles - they don't bow with the weight of the heavy, 24' wide backdrop.
