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.
