LimoStudio [Super Heavy Duty] 12.6 x 10.4 ft. (W x H) Upgraded Backdrop Stand, Most Heavy Duty in Market, Thick Pole, No Bending, Ground Shoe Mount for Outdoor Use, Shock-Proof Spring Tripod, AGG1111

For the money you will have a very difficult time finding a better product. The vertical posts are made of thick, tubular metal and should hold up to light/medium use. The top posts use a screw and wing nut to attach the horizontal bar. This system works well and is fairly strong. The tri-pod expands to create a stable base as long as it isn't over-weighted. I recommend using sandbags outdoors in cases where wind is present. The horizontal bar separates into four sections allowing for various widths. Using all four sections gives you 12' in overall width. The bar sags under its own weight at 12' as should be expected. It will sag more with the weight of a backdrop. Overall construction is solid but meant for light/medium duty. This is not a professional rig yet it is great of beginners or as a light duty travel set. This item is made for portability and/or quick set ups. It takes very little time to set up the entire system (10 min.). The carry bag is made well and should last a while (again, it's a light use item). I would buy it again. I look forward to using the system in the years ahead.

This item is very sturdy. I bought it even though it was more expensive than a few of the others after reading the reviews. I'm glad I did. There were a total of 7 pieces in the box: 2 end supports, 4 parts to crossbar and the carrying case. All very nice, and sturdy. This went together in a flash, about 15 minutes on my first try. Did not even need the instructions. I have used it with one inexpensive 10x10 vinyl backdrop so far without any issues. The crossbar is actually about 9'9"....not quite 10'. Also, if you have all 4 crossbars installed, there is about a 1" sag in the middle of the bar. There was a piece of paper inside the case that told me this...this caused very little problem, I simply had to adjust the middle of my backdrop a little after I had it up. One final note, if you wait to raise it until 'after' you have the backdrop attached on the crossbar, you'll probably need one person at each end to raise the crossbar to your desired height. If you're working alone, you may want to have a step ladder available and attach the backdrop after the support is hoisted all the way up to the height you desire. I would recommend that you purchase a set of 6-10 clamps to secure your backdrop to this stand, these do a better job of simply 'hanging' the backdrop over the crossbar. I love this item so far. I have another (cloth) backdrop on the way and will let you know if I encounter any problems using this item with it.

I poured over the reviews before i ordered and so really didn't know what to expect. Will it be flimsy? Will it bend easily? Complicated to assemble? Will I get someone's return? NONE OF THE ABOVE!! For the price, it's pretty will made. Assembled in minutes. Sag? Yes, but the documentation actually says it will. I used it with a muslin green screen. Worked great! I bought the LimoStudio 10-Pack of 4.5 in clamps with it. They held great. My only suggestion to a would be buyer is to get at least the 10 pack of clamps, but you might want to get 2-10s or a 10 and a six pack.

Material is great. Set up is super easy. Screen is thick and great quality. ONLY downfall is it blows over easily. Going to put some heavy bags over the bottom legs next time, and hope that takes care of the issue. Over all... totally worth the money.

It is sturdy but not too heavy, easy to set up and folds down nicely- truthfully, putting the screen on it is more hassle. I am SO glad I got this...it was well worth it. I use this to put a green screen up behind me for video making purposes for the internet (my back faces a room at the computer). I'm happy as a clam with it even after several months of regular use and I can see as long as I take reasonable care of it and don't bash it around, that it will last me a very long time..if not the rest of my life. I'll probably end up passing it down to my kids....good thing my son is very into photography and will have good use for it.

You absolutely cannot beat this for the price. I needed a budget backdrop stand that was big AND sturdy enough to support a 9 ft. collapsible green screen, and this was perfect. I have only used them once so far so this is my initial impression. Materials & construction - I was pretty impressed with the stands. They are lightweight but not cheap feeling. They adjust well, and I like how they have a spring suspension in them that helps with mounting and adjusting height. The spread of the stand base is very good, and supported/distributed the weight very well. The crossbar probably could be sturdier, but it's what I'd expect for this price range. It did bend downward in the middle from the weight of the backdrop, but that was not an issue. If that bothers you, you can probably put a wooden dowel or broomstick down the pole to help stabilize it. The plastic parts were made of pretty sturdy plastic, not that cheap-o stuff that I was afraid of getting with a cheaper kit. Setup - I was able to set it up and mount a fairly bulky collapsible screen to it by myself with no issues. The pieces were easy to assemble and pretty straightforward. Downside - Only thing I was not impressed with was the construction of the bag. The bag material is fairly lightweight for holding a bunch of metal pieces, it's not padded, and I imagine the inside seams would get stressed and torn pretty easily if you are not careful with it. But, for the price, I can't dock any stars because it's still WAY worth the money. I have used similar quality stands that cost 4x as much.

Nice and heavy duty but one of the stand legs came broken. I’m hoping just to replace the part.

Buenicimo

this was a great buy! I was hesitant as people said it wouldn't hold up but what I like about it: 1) goes up to >8' high 2) definitely 10" wide!!! 3) easy to put together 4) carrying bag is decent and it does all fit.

El diseño de los tripiés es grueso, da la sensación de solidez. Las perillas de ajuste de altura son de plástico, perdería que fueran de metal.

Es muy práctico y resistente

Muy buena calidad, y muy práctico, excelente precio 100% recomendado

Muy practico y fácil de armar, muy bueno para interiores, no lo recomiendo para exteriores ya que es muy frágil, se cae fácilmente un un pequeño aire.
