Flashpoint 13' Background Support System

2025-03-30T04:48:46

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 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!

A little bit of sag on the connection system, but overall a good product.

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.

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.

Sturdy frame and includes robust carrying case. Very good value.

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.

Incredible quality in a screen support. Fast shipping with excellent service.

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.

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.

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.

This is a very sturdy stand. I really like how all of the the Flashpoint products I have bought are so compact and easy to transport in their nice carrying cases.

This was perfect for my needs, and at a good price point. Solid construction, and good carrying/storage bag. Recommended.

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

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.

Pretty sturdy and holds my heavy 9x12 painted canvas backdrop with no issues! I'm short, so I need some help setting it up, but it's been great so far.

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.
