Very good for the price

Product was an open box. When received box was barely closed and product pieces were loose inside. Minor damage to product but not enough to return as product works fine. Product quality a 4 star, shipping a 2 star.

It's a background stand

It was fine when I used to use it. Good value for what it is. I use other products now.

Very sturdy to hold a lot of weight. The crossbar has two widths, 7ft and 10ft. Nice buy!

Seems great so far!

Very solid. Didn't bow with a green screen. Not a lock in place system, you have to use a hex wrench which takes a little more time. But very solid.

Excellent build quality BUT... hex wrench design is poor

This is a frustrating product: ? The build quality is excellent all around ? The support stands and crossbar are well built and solid ? The card included shows 4 versions of the stand crossbar - Twist lock (the standard which most of these stands use) - Twist and lock slide - Pop up button - spreader lock (this one which required the hex wrench) Of all four versions, only the twist and lock slide is worse. Having to tighten this down with a hex wrench each time you assemble and tear down this is a poor design. Might not seem like a big deal until the time when you forget to lose the hex wrench. Also takes more time to put together. Very frustrating. Unfortunately, this is a deal breaker for me and I'm sending it back. If this does not bother you, this is an excellent stand and I would fully recommend it.

Crossbar Sags

The main problem with this support system is that the crossbar sags at each of the three connection joints instead of being a rigid bar. This is because of the expander connection system which does not extend far enough into the tubes that connect to form the crossbar to make it more rigid. Unfortunately, for the price there doesn't seem to be a better option if you need a 13' crossbar.

Great for on Location Photography

This was perfect for what I needed it for, simple, easy to set up and hang a lightweight muslin backdrop (sold separately) on. I was doing pictures at a conference so I didn't want a full-size, heavy duty system to have to setup and take down in a day. For that, this is perfect. It is not very strong or exceptionally large, so I would not buy this for a home or studio setup for longterm use unless you know exactly what you are buying. But if you know why you're buying this size and quality, this is great at a great price.

Easy modification makes exceptional value

This is sturdy. Other reviews point out how two people are required to raise it evenly and that the width is limited to the section lengths. I overcame those problems by suspending the cross-bar from a cord that was attached to the upright supports. Then the bar (or any other bar, adjustable pole, etc) will "float" easily to any length you want and be able to be raised or lowered by only one person. This makes it a terrific value for the low cost.

Perfect setup for self-tape auditions in a NYC apartment.

This is just what I needed. Setting up for self-tape auditions used to be a huge pain. I used to tape large sheets of paper to the wall, as I don?t have the room to keep a self-tape space up at all times. This kit is so super easy to put up and take down. It makes my life so much easier and eliminates the dread I felt when having to setup for a self-tape.

It's a heavy duty stand but the middle bar was bent. I will be returning. Other than that it holds backdrops pretty well.

What a beast: NOT your mother's background stand

I just received this stand and checked it out. The package description is "heavy duty," and boy is it ever. Stated weight is 16 pounds but feels like 20 pounds. The weight limit for the background is 30 pounds, but it almost feels like you could use it to do pull-ups. I marked it down one star because it is great for a stationary studio or if you have an assistant to help move your gear around, but it's a bit much out in the field if you're by yourself. Still, seems excellent.

Just OK

I need a background support for cheap and this fit the bill. Item arrived timely, but with one of the tightening bolts so badly bent it would not work. Adorama required I return the ENTIRE item rather than just send me or exchange a new bolt. I took the bent bolt to the garage, and used a vice and hammer to adjust it. This took some muscle to straighten. The vertical poles seem well made and sturdy. I'd sandbag them when in use with clients. The 13' horizontal pole seems flimsy. The instructions said there were three type of connections among the sections of this pole. Two seems easy, one requires an allen wrench to take apart and lose. Guess which one I got. I have the horizontal pole set to 10' and it works OK there. Not sure how well 13' would work, but you're not climbing on them. I guess as long as it holds the background, it works. As an amateur, I'm happy. If I were a pro, I'd have more money and buy better or just buy better and used to start with.

A sturdy, easy to use Quilt Stand, too!

By CATHERINE G.

I ordered five of these to use as Quilt Stands. We were able to raise the heavy quilts to the full 10' 6" without any issues. The price cannot be beat - a quilt supply company sells a smaller stand for twice as much wholesale! Your should advertise these in quilt magazines.

Sturdy backdrop stand!

By JESSICA B.

This stand is well built, with a sturdy crossbeam that barely sags even when all four pieces are installed. It easily held aloft a 40-lb roll of 140"-wide paper. I threw some sandbags across the base for additional stability, but it didn't feel like they were necessary, even with the stands fully extended to their 13' height. It's an amazing value for the money as well. I was skeptical, because it's actually less expensive than other rigs I looked at with nowhere near the structural integrit...

For photographers and videographers seeking a robust and versatile background support solution, the Flashpoint 10' Background Support System offers an ideal blend of portability and stability. This system is designed to reliably support heavy seamless paper rolls up to 96 inches in width, as well as lighter materials such as fabric and muslin backdrops, making it a perfect fit for both studio and on-location shoots.

Constructed with durability in mind, the kit features two professional-grade, heavy-duty 10-foot support stands. These stands are engineered with secure locking knobs and sturdy tubular legs, ensuring a stable foundation for your backdrop setup. The stands are the cornerstone of the system, supporting a three-section crossbar that can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of standard seamless paper sizes.

The crossbar sections seamlessly interlock, providing a secure connection that is further reinforced by a tension spread wedge, easily controlled with the included hex key. This design ensures that your backdrop remains taut and wrinkle-free during use, contributing to a professional-looking background for your photography or videography projects.

The entire Flashpoint 10' Background Support System is thoughtfully packaged in a heavy-duty canvas carry bag. This bag is not only durable but also features individual compartments for each component, ensuring that transportation and storage are hassle-free. The bag's organized design allows for quick setup and breakdown, saving valuable time during shoots.

Please note that the weight limit for the crossbar, when fully extended, should not exceed 30 pounds. For added safety and stability, especially in busy set environments, it is recommended to secure the stands with weight bags. This precaution helps prevent any accidental tipping and ensures a safe working space.

Whether you're capturing stunning portraits, creating content for video productions, or setting up for a special event, the Flashpoint 10' Background Support System is a reliable choice that promises ease of use and professional results.
