Portable Background Support System
The Manfrotto Black Free Standing Background Support System weighs 10 lbs and includes a carry bag for transport. Two 8' black light stands form a stable base that resists tipping during shoots. A three-section telescoping crossbar extends from 44" to 117" to fit various backdrop widths. It is built for photographers and videographers who need a reliable, movable backdrop frame.
Stability Under Extended Use
The two 8' stands provide a wide footprint that keeps the system steady during long sessions. High-quality materials resist fatigue when the crossbar is fully extended to 117" (9.75') with heavier backdrops. The black finish reduces glare under continuous studio lighting. This construction supports repeated setup and teardown cycles without loosening.
Crossbar Width Limits
The telescoping crossbar adjusts between 44" and 117" and cannot extend beyond that range. Backdrops wider than 117" require a different support solution. The system holds rolls or sheets of background paper and also accommodates muslins within the width limit. Height and angle settings on the stands add flexibility but do not change the crossbar span.

Questions about this item
How much does the 10 lbs system weigh when I carry it all day on location?
The complete kit, including two 8 ft stands, the 3-section crossbar and the carry bag, weighs 10 lbs.
What backdrop materials must I already own for this support system to work?
You need your own rolls or sheets of background paper, muslin or similar fabric; the system supplies only the stands and the telescoping crossbar.
Will the 44-117" crossbar span the same width as my older 9 ft backdrop frame?
The crossbar telescopes from 44 in to 117 in (9.75 ft), so it matches a 9 ft frame at full extension and can go narrower for smaller backdrops.
