Backdrop Stands

[martyncoup]

I have a really nice muslin 3m x 6m black backdrop, currently using a homemade system as a stand but looking for a more robust alternative for around £50 if this is possible.

Does anyone know of anything good to recommend?

Edit: Seem to have posted this in the wrong forum, sorry for the blonde moment. Could a mod move please?

Interfit are quite cheap I think, Lencarta? There are several about. Some here http://www.warehouseexpress.com/category/basecategory.aspx?cat03=3111&brand=114

An adjustable cross-bar is very handy when space is tight and you don't need the full width.

Whilst this thread is active it would save me doing another similar thread,
So this could help out the OP.

What do people think of these, yes or no?

The photos are identical to the kit that Bessel sell for £69.99.

Don't know if this big enough for you but I found this to be excellent.

SwitchBlade: What size backdrops do those Bessel Stands take?

SwitchBlade: What size backdrops do those Bessel Stands take?

2.9m, if my memory serves me right

 

[J4MIE_P]

So what size background would I need
3mx2m?

 

[SwitchBlade]

Whatever you like as long as it's 3m or narrower. I've got a 3x6m roll of vinyl. The crossbar is in 4 even length parts so you can break it down for smaller widths.

Yes it is 2.9m wide.........

 

[J4MIE_P]

So would a 3.0m background still be okay? Will it crease at one end or something?

Just measured my roll, it's 2.9m across, but between the two mount holes is 3m.

Works a treat

I think the photosel ones are very poor, The stuff I've had from Bessel on the other hand I cant fault.

 

[tjcroom]

I like Bessel

David, did you order the bessel kit? If so, what exactly did you order?

Also, any pics taken with the backdrop in place?

Thanks
