Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. This system says it has a 22 lb load capacity, but each 9 foot roll weighs about 14 lbs. Will this system support 3 full rolls at once?

A: Yes i always keep 3 rolls attached. Just make sure you properly install the brackets to get the full strength.

Q: 2. Is there a way to attach these to stands rather than mount them to a wall?

A: Yes Charles. We used Mafer Clamps (see below) and mounted the Impact hooks to the flat side of the Mafer. You can then attach the Mafer clamps to stands, or auto polls (see below) as needed.

Q: 3. Does this work for the Manfrotto hooks?

A: Yes, these are identical to the set from manfrotto. I use both in my manfrotto hook set.

Q: 4. Will this work with the C300 Mark II?

A: No, the ARRI Pro Set for Canon C300 Mk III/C500 Mk II does not work with any other cameras.

Q: 5. Once this is set up for a 107-inch roll, is there any way to use a shorter roll in the future or are you committing to one length of roll forever?

A: Yes, but it might be more work then you might what to do. Use an empty 107 roll and reroll onto the 107 roll the smaller size that you would like to use.

Q: 6. I have this product, but find that paper rolls want to just keep unrolling. Is there a way to increase tension on the chains to keep this from happening?

A: The white section of the Impact Varidrive Drive expands to keep the paper from unrolling. To expand the Impact Varidrive Drive, you should be able to turn the black knob on the end of the device while the white section is inside the seamless paper's core to expand it until it is snug to prevent the paper from unrolling while in usage.

Q: 7. Will these work with canvas backgrounds?

A: The key to this product is the weight limit. I don't remember what that is- but canvas is usually heavier. The Mfr. says product is for 9' paper rolls. I tried to use this on my 12x10 canvas BG and have had poor results. Canvas is too heavy, distance too far and the plastic chain pull too weak to move the BG. Stick to 9 ft rolls- works great!

Q: 8. Does anyone have any input on this product? Will it work for 9 foot rolls?Thanks!

A: Yes, we use it for 9ft rolls in our studio (kept the paper on cardboard rolls). Very sturdy. Works great, cardboard tubes from the paper rolls start to warp over time (up for 8 months; could switch the paper over to a pvc pipe if warping gets worse). The only thing to look out for is paper doesn't stay rolled very well because there is nothing to keep it wound up. If you have high ceilings won't be an issue. It's a great system. for the price.

Q: 9. Does this fit on a Arri LMB 4x5?

Q: 10. Does this kit come with hardware?
