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.
