Questions & Answers

Shauna F : Does this come with the aluminum poles that go through the cardboard tubes?
Shopper : Can you still mount it on the ceiling without the autopoles? It looks like there are two holes to screw into the wall or ceiling.
JESSE L : Can this handle a vinyl background? Also does anyone know where to get the cardboard rolls without the paper that could be used for light weight fabric backdrops?CAMILLE P : Yes it can handle a vinyl background. The best place to get cardboard rolls is from a photographer that just bought a new roll of paper. Ask any studio and I'm sure they'll be happy for you to take it off their hands.C ROSS D : Yes. I have used it for cloth green screens and a backdrop

Very good product and easy installation. It should include something for the backdrop paper so it doesn?t curl up. That would make it ?COMPLETE?

Great Product

Bought product after watching demonstrating on Adorama TV. It is easy to assemble and operates better than anticipated. I use three 107" wide paper rolls without any issues and not sure how it will handle rolls in the 12' range. Prior to this purchased I had research the more expensive industial ones, which are very good...but this kit does the job very well, is portable and much less expensive. Very happy with it at this time.

While the 432-3,7SET Deluxe Auto Pole Background Support Set, featuring two upright poles, may seem like a simple tool, it is actually a comprehensive solution for photographers and videographers seeking a versatile and reliable background support system. This ultimate adjustable lighting pole system can be utilized to construct a background support, build a lighting grid, or for countless other studio and outdoor applications, making it a valuable asset for professionals and hobbyists alike.

The unique single-action cantilever locking system ensures a secure fit by exerting the right amount of pressure, wedging the protective rubber ends in place from ceiling to floor. This system also integrates a safety lock to prevent accidental de-tensioning or movement, providing you with peace of mind during your shoots.

The Deluxe Version of this autopole background set offers extra tension capabilities for added strength, catering to more demanding setups. The set includes the 044 Background Hook Set, a pair of background paper holders for three Expans, ready to be used with the Autopole. Two Super Clamps are also supplied for added convenience.

The 046 Expan Background Paper Drive Set is another key component of this set, designed to hold one roll of background paper. It includes a plastic chain and weight, and can expand from 1.8" to 3". This plastic drive chain is available in various colors, allowing you to match your setup or add a touch of personal style.

In essence, the 432-3,7SET Deluxe Auto Pole Background Support Set is a robust, versatile, and professional-grade solution for all your photography and videography needs.
