perfect for a on location setup.   made well but still light enough to travel

perfect

Had another set on back order with Adorama for almost 3 months that was more expensive with only 2 stands. I finally gave up and did some more shopping. Glad I did! This kit has 3 stands and I’m happy with the  quality. They are heavier but that’s probably a good thing. They won’t knock over as easy

Good quality and value

Great! Quality!

Works fine

These stands were delivered quickly, well packaged and are very sturdy.  We are a professional photography company and highly recommend this product to anyone who is serious about photography.

Background Stands

Seems good and strong enough.  I do not like the locking they use seem too weak, time will tell.

Brand New testing

This complete set is a fantastic background system for the beginner and hobbyist. It is not the sturdiest with only two stands but you can make due if you put weight bags at the base of the stands for more support.

The bags are minimal however it does the job well. One quick note is that they are not padded so if you decide to sling them around you shoulders, be careful; you will get a nice bruise on your back.

The height adjustable clips are cheap plastic and the metal frames are very lightweight. I put 3 sets of muslim backgrounds with metal clamps from home depot and they held well.

Again its best to start with these and work your way up to a more professional set. Price wise its a little overkill, should be around ($)

Good background stand overall for the hobbyist.

Good product concept, but flaws in tubing and bad paint job have left this buyer Bent Out of Shape.

The design is everything we wanted for holding up the backdrop for our theater production without a lot of engineering, 
HOWEVER there were problems with the product as received, three of the crossbar sections were bent, dimpled or compressed at the critical zone where the bars join, making them useless.  

The dimple was fixed by just drilling it out, but the bent end and the compressed end are useless.  This takes away six feet out of the thirty that should be available for what is advertised as a "new" product. 

 The black paint was scratched off in several places on  crossbar pieces and tripods, so either the paint job was lousy or they weren't new.  

If the damage happened during shipping, the company shot itself in the foot by failing to pad the product properly, if they're passing used goods as new, they're liars, if the paint fell off when the rods were packed in the duffles, the quality bites.   

I like the spring loaded tri-pods as it makes the thing self-leveling when you put a heavier drop on it.

I appreciate the duffle bags that keep the equipment together, but having to fix "new" equipment leaves me Bent Out of Shape!

Bent Out of Shape

I am a professional sports photographer . I was having trouble finding a set up that I could go 20 feet wide. This does that, and then some with the extra bars it has.  Works great, and haven't had any issues.
