Morning all. I'm sick of cumbersome light stands, and thinking about buying some wall mounted brackets to hold paper backdrops. Possible consider a chain type system.
Have you considered a Manfrotto Expan system? The Manfrotto bits are expensive but you can get second hand units or Chinese copies which are almost identical in some cases. I was selling rollers, chain and weight for about £15 (obviously a Manfrotto copy but a good quality one) and triple/sextet hooks should be about £20-30 second hand.
The one in the classifieds looks like a good deal.
Bessel do various wall/ceiling mounted bracket kits for up to six rolls. I just purchased a four roll kit with plastic chains for £64.99. It looks decent quality but I haven't had the chance to fix it up yet as on re-measuring I discovered that the wooden dams in the ceiling are actually further apart than I though so the work involved for installation is greater than I thought. The metal brackets are very substantial. http://www.bessel.co.uk/acatalog/Background-Supports.html
Like most of this cheap Chinese kit it's available from loads of different sellers on Amazon & eBay but I have found Bessel have very good service & decent quality at very competitive prices.
