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.
