2.4x3m Small Adjustable Telescopic Background Stand

A compact background support for spaces where a full-size kit is overkill. Two air-cushioned aluminium stands rise from 75cm to 2.4m, and the telescopic crossbar adjusts anywhere between 1.2m and 3m — wide enough for half-length seamless paper, vinyl or a smaller hand-painted canvas. The details are the practical kind: the air-cushioned columns stop a loosened knob turning into a dropped backdrop, the centre column can drop down as a fourth leg for extra stability, and the removable spigot carries standard 1/4in and 3/8in threads so the stands double as light stands holding up to 5kg each. The crossbar hangs on common 5/8in spigots and carries up to 8kg, so heavier rolls are fine. Everything collapses short for storage or the boot of a car.

Autopoles with Triple Hook Background Drive Brackets

This pairs two autopoles with a set of triple hook background drive brackets, giving you one span that can carry three backgrounds at a time. The brackets are durable metal and fix to the poles with the included LSA-03 clamps, which lock rather than simply rest, so nothing creeps as a background is rolled up or down. Each autopole adjusts steplessly between 2.35m and 4m and holds up to 15kg. Because the poles are independent of each other, you set them as far apart as the widest background requires. The lever locking mechanism tensions each pole between floor and ceiling, or wall and wall, and the solid rubber suction cups at both ends grip without leaving much behind on the surface. One thing to plan for before ordering: the brackets hold the backgrounds, but the drive system that rolls them is bought separately. Add a pair of expansion drive shafts per roll and you have three backgrounds on a single span, each winding down for the shot and back up out of frame afterwards. The brackets are also wall-mountable, so if the studio later becomes permanent, the same set can move onto a solid wall and the poles go to another corner of the room.

Background Expansion Drive & Triple Holder Bracket Set for Vinyl Background

Three backgrounds on one wall, all rolled and ready. This set combines three pairs of expansion drive shafts with a pair of wall-mounted triple hook brackets, so a white, a grey and a coloured or painted roll can live permanently above the shooting area. The brackets are 32.5cm high, 22.1cm long and 6.1cm wide, and bolt to a solid wall rather than sitting on stands. That is the whole point of them: no legs on the floor, nothing to walk around when you step back for a full-length frame, and the space returned to your lights and tripod. Each pair of drive shafts fits a seamless paper or vinyl roll with a core between 45mm and 72mm and carries up to 10kg. The drive chain rolls a background down to the floor and winds it back up when you are done, and the attachable counterweight holds it exactly where you stopped, so your horizon does not drift between setups. Fixings are the part to check before you drill. The screws supplied may not suit your wall: expansion bolts are for brick and concrete, spring toggles for plasterboard, wood screws for timber. With three rolls hanging from one pair of brackets it is worth asking a local specialist about the load your wall will actually take.

Motorised Quad Background Expansion-Drive Set for Seamless Paper or Vinyl Backgrounds

Four backgrounds, one remote. This set mounts up to four seamless paper or vinyl rolls of up to 2.75m and 10kg each, and switches between them from where you are standing rather than from the top of a ladder. Each pair of hooks on the wall brackets takes a pair of expansion drive shafts, and each of those shafts has its own motor. The rolls need a core between 50mm and 65mm. The wireless remote has 99 channels, so every drive can be addressed on its own and a neighbouring studio cannot accidentally move your background. Mounting is the part to plan first. The brackets go onto a solid concrete wall or ceiling only, not plasterboard and not a suspended ceiling, and this drive set can no longer be used on light stands. Check the supplied fixings suit your surface before you drill, and if you are unsure what load the wall will take with four rolls on it, ask a specialist rather than find out later. Set up this way, a busy portrait or product day stops being a series of interruptions. You light the set once, then change background between looks in a few seconds without anyone stepping into shot to do it.

Professional Metal Extendable Autopoles Set (235-400cm)

A pair of metal poles that tension between two fixed surfaces and carry your backgrounds without a single stand on the floor. Each one adjusts steplessly between 2.35m and 4m, which suits ordinary domestic ceilings as well as taller studio spaces. The two poles are independent of each other, and that is the useful part: set them as far apart as the background needs, and move one without dismantling the other. They work vertically from floor to ceiling and horizontally from wall to wall, so even a low-ceilinged room can carry a wide background. A lever locking mechanism puts each pole under tension so it stays where you put it, and a solid rubber suction cup at each end grips ceiling, wall or floor while spreading the pressure to keep marks off the surface. The black-finished metal construction holds up to 15kg, enough for seamless paper, muslin or a heavier painted canvas, and that same capacity means the poles will take lights and grip arms once the background is hung. This set is the poles themselves, so pair them with the drive shafts, hooks or clamps that suit the backgrounds you run. Most photographers notice the floor first: with the weight overhead, a light can go where a stand leg used to be, and full-length work no longer involves a careful walk around the base of a background stand.

2.5" Replacement Stainless Steel Grip Head for C-Stands

The grip head is the joint that makes a C-stand a C-stand: this stainless steel 2.5in head clamps to any stand with a standard 5/8in baby pin and holds booms, flags, scrims and reflector arms exactly where you set them. Its jaws take four common tube sizes — 24mm, 18mm, 15mm and 7mm — so the same head grips a heavy boom arm one day and a thin flag pin the next. Stainless construction means the teeth and thread keep their bite under real load, where cheaper alloy heads slowly strip and slip. Sold as a single head, without stand or boom. Worth keeping a spare in the kit: it's the part that wears first on a hard-working stand, and the part you miss most mid-shoot.

39.5-203cm Studio Photography Pantograph Ceiling Rail System

A ceiling rail system moves your lights off the floor entirely: two fixed 3m rails, two mobile 3m rails and gliding carriages cover a 9-square-metre grid, with pantographs that pull each light down anywhere from 39.5cm to 203cm below the ceiling. No stands, no cables at ankle height, no legs creeping into the edge of frame — in a compact backdrop studio, the floor space it returns is the whole point. Each pantograph supports up to 15kg, which covers studio strobes and COB LEDs with substantial modifiers. The system is modular, so the layout can grow or change with the studio. Installation deserves respect: the rails must go into a structurally solid ceiling (never plasterboard or a suspended grid), fixings are not included and must be specified for your ceiling, no single point should carry more than 15kg, and avoid bunching more than two pantographs close together. If in doubt, have a professional survey the ceiling first — a safe installation is the installer's responsibility.

Autopole with 3 Pairs of Expansion Drive Shafts & 3 Pairs of Background Hooks

Three backgrounds hanging at once, all of them out of the way until you want them. This kit combines two autopoles with three pairs of expansion drive shafts and three pairs of hooked clamps, which is enough for a white, a grey and a coloured or painted background to stay permanently loaded. Each autopole adjusts steplessly between 2.35m and 4m and takes up to 15kg. The two poles are separate, so your span is whatever the widest background needs rather than a fixed length, and a lever locking mechanism tensions each one into place. Rubber suction cups at both ends grip ceiling, wall or floor and are cushioned to keep marks down. Every pair of drive shafts fits a paper or vinyl roll with a 45mm to 72mm core and carries up to 10kg, with a drive chain to roll it up and down and a counterweight to hold the height. Three drives on one span is the point where this stops being storage and starts being a workflow: the background changes in seconds while the lighting stays untouched. The clamps measure 17.5cm by 6.5cm by 6cm and lock onto tubes up to 4cm across, which covers the poles, light stands and tripods alike. If you move rooms, the same parts rebuild on a pair of stands.

Adjustable Autopole & Expansion Drive Shafts Pair Kit

This kit turns a floor-to-ceiling or wall-to-wall span into a permanent backdrop wall: two autopoles, a pair of hooked C-clamps, and one pair of expansion drive shafts to carry a single roll. Each autopole adjusts steplessly between 2.35m and 4m and holds up to 15kg. Because the two poles are independent rather than joined by a bar, you set them as far apart as the backdrop needs, which is useful if you run a wide paper roll one week and a narrower background the next. A lever locking mechanism puts each pole under tension so it stays put, and both ends sit on a solid rubber suction cup that grips ceiling, wall or floor while keeping marks to a minimum. The C-clamps measure 17.5cm long, 6.5cm wide and 6cm high, and clamp onto anything up to 4cm in tube diameter: autopoles, light stands, tripods. A pair of ordinary stands becomes a background support system in about a minute. The expansion drive shafts fit any seamless paper or vinyl roll with a core between 45mm and 72mm and carry up to 10kg. A drive chain rolls the background down for the shot and back up afterwards, so a scuffed bottom metre of paper can be wound out of sight rather than cut off mid-session, and the attachable counterweight holds it at the height you stopped at.

Autopole Set with 2 Pairs of Expansion Drive Shafts & 2 Pairs of Background Hooks

Two backgrounds, permanently loaded, no stands on the floor. This set pairs two autopoles with two pairs of expansion drive shafts and two pairs of hooked clamps, so a pair of rolls stays hung and ready between shoots. The autopoles adjust steplessly from 2.35m to 4m and tension between floor and ceiling, or wall and wall, holding up to 15kg. A lever lock keeps each pole under pressure, and the rubber suction cup at each end grips without chewing up the surface, which is worth knowing if you are working in a rented space or a room at home. Each pair of drive shafts takes a seamless paper or vinyl roll with a core of 45mm to 72mm, up to 10kg. The drive chain rolls a background down for the shot and back up afterwards, and the counterweight holds it at the height you set. With two loaded, changing background is a matter of winding one up and the other down while your lights stay exactly where they are. The clamps are 17.5cm long, 6.5cm wide and 6cm high, and grip anything up to 4cm in tube diameter, so if you would rather run this on light stands than on the poles, they will do that too. Either way the floor stays clear for lights, a tripod and whoever you are photographing.

Super Heavy Duty Triple Telescopic Background Stand

Three crossbars, two stands, one bag. This kit hangs up to three backgrounds side by side on a pair of 300cm air-cushioned light stands, so a session that needs white, grey and a painted canvas can move between them without rebuilding the set each time. The crossbars are telescopic aluminium in 23mm to 30mm tube, and each end takes the standard 5/8" spigot found on most stands. The included crossbar brackets are what let all three sit on the same pair of stands, and each bracket is metal because it is carrying the weight of three bars and everything hanging from them. The stands extend in three tiers from 125.5cm up to 300cm and are air-cushioned, so a section that slips lowers gently instead of dropping onto your crossbar or your backdrop. A 122cm leg spread with twin braces and nut-and-bolt construction gives the whole thing a footprint you can trust in a working room, and the mounts use an interchangeable spigot with a 3/8" thread at one end and 1/4" at the other. Total capacity is 20kg, and that figure matters here: three heavy backgrounds, vinyl or large paper, is more than this stand is built to carry. Three lighter ones is what it is for. Everything collapses into the padded carry bag, which is divided into four compartments so the bars and stands travel without rubbing against each other, making this as workable on location as it is in the studio.

3.2m Heavy-Duty 4-Sectioned Crossbar Stand (Crossbar Only)

The Pixapro 3.2m 4-sectioned crossbar , is a heavy-duty crossbar , designed to convert a pair of regular light stands into a background support system, enabling you to mount any type of background, including, seamless paper, vinyl, canvas and muslin backgrounds etc. This crossbar comes is four sections, which enables you add or remove sections for various lengths of backgrounds. This kit is perfect for photographers or cinematographers , who require a super-durable background mounting solution for their studio, or for use on location. Easy to Set Up The crossbar comes in four sections, each of which is approximately 80cm in length, Two of the crossbar sections feature an opening, large enough to insert a standard 5/8 inch spigot stud, which enables it to be used with virtually any light stand that you may already own (we recommend heavy-duty light stands if using it with heavier backgrounds). Four Sections for Different Lengths Since the crossbar, is made up of four sections, it can be used at lengths of 160cm, 240cm and its full length of 320cm. This gives you the option of using it in smaller spaces or with shorter backgrounds. This also means that it is easy to store and travel with. Ultra-Durable Each of the crossbar sections is held together via steel supports at the end of each pole, with a spring-loaded locking pin to hold each section in place. This prevents the crossbar from sagging in the middle when using heavier backgrounds such as canvas, full-length seamless paper, or vinyl backgrounds This crossbar can be used with a wide range of different background types, including seamless paper, vinyl, canvas, or muslin/fabric backgrounds. It can also be used with collapsible backgrounds if they have loops enabling them to be threaded through the pole.
