Questions & Answers

Pablo M : Prob a dumb question but I ordered 2 kits, not 1 but 2 from another firm.  The reason is because the boxes came severely damaged there were missing parts.  Has anyone experienced shipping/damange problems?
ANDRE N : Are the chains on each of the three Expans plastic or metal chains?, If plastic, so I am buying the set from B&H.OLIVER B : The ones I received in the set are metal.KWON J : These are metal chains.ALEJANDRO A : Made of plastic. Is kind of tricky to deal with them.STEVEN M : Metal chains. They looks plastic, and I wondered the same thing.
Deddy K : what is the difference between 2961D and 2960D?

Rated 5 out of 5

Surprisingly easy-to-setup seamless paper 3 roll holder frame

Surprised how easy it was to set up. Super convenient way to have multiple rolls ready for quick changes between sessions. Plastic gear chains do have a tendency to twist/tangle a bit, but that’s my only small gripe. I think it’s a great value for the price.

Where professional photography and videography meet convenience and versatility, you'll find the Manfrotto Complete Deluxe AutoPole/Expan Background Set. This comprehensive background support system is ingeniously designed to raise and lower up to three cored backgrounds without the need for a ladder. Even backgrounds without cardboard cores can be accommodated with the addition of Alu-Core crossbars (sold separately).

The heart of this system is the Deluxe Black AutoPoles. These sturdy poles provide robust background support and are held securely in place between the floor and a ceiling as high as 12.1' (3.7m) by a spring lock mechanism. This makes the AutoPoles perfect for creating a background support in limited spaces, or for structuring a lighting grid for studio and outdoor applications.

The set includes three Expan Drive Sets, each with color-coded plastic drive chains. These are held by the background hook set, which is then clamped onto the AutoPoles. The Expan Drive Sets are designed to be fast and efficient, allowing for the quick changing of backgrounds without lowering the support stands. Each Expan can handle a maximum payload of 22 lbs (10kg), and expands from a diameter of 46mm to 78mm.

The AutoPole system also features an easy-to-use cantilever system with a safety lock, ensuring a secure fit from ceiling to floor. The cantilever system incorporates a safety lock to prevent accidental de-tensioning or movement, providing peace of mind during your shoots. The Deluxe Version of the AutoPoles offers extra tension capabilities for added strength.

The set also includes a 044 Background Hook Set, which consists of two background paper holders for three Expans, ready to use on a set of AutoPoles. The set is supplied with two Super Clamps for added convenience.

Whether you're a professional photographer or a videographer, the Manfrotto Complete Deluxe AutoPole/Expan Background Set offers a durable, versatile, and high-quality solution for your background support needs.
