The Impact Background Dual Hooks - Set of 2from Impact Background Dual Hooks - Set of 2make it possible to mount two rolls of seamless background paper up to 9 x 6 ft. to a studio wall or ceiling. This hook system makes it easy to access and switch between the different paper rolls. The Impact Varidrive chain drive system can be installed into each roll, and the hooks separate each background roll with enough room to change backgrounds quickly and conveniently. Thanks to the progressive length of each hook, each roll can be accessed individually without the hassle of moving the others.

The slots in each hook are cut at a 45° angle so they will support paper rolls with Varidrive cores suspended from a ceiling. Concrete anchors are included for permanent wall or ceiling mounting. This simple addition to your studio reduces the time spent on tasks like changing backgrounds, and spending more time creating the perfect image.

NOTE: May be mounted to sheetrock walls using sheetrock anchors, molly bolts or toggle bolts, available separately.

Q: 6. Are the roller handles necessary for these hooks or can I use and already existing backdrop bar?

A: You would need one of the expandable drives such as the Impact Varidrive, the Manfrotto Expan Drive, or the Kupo Background Paper Drive Set to support a background on the Impact Background Triple Hooks listed above. While the drive is designed to insert into the cardboard core of a seamless roll of paper, it may also be inserted into a hollow crossbar. If the crossbar you own is hollow and the expandable drive may be inserted inside the crossbar you own, then the aforementioned expandable drives should work for your usage needs. If the expandable drive does not fit inside your current crossbar or your crossbar is not hollow, you may purchase a crossbar such as the Impact Cross Pole for Uncored Paper or Fabric Backgrounds (106.3"), B&H # IMVPC5, the Manfrotto 047-3 Alu-Core for Uncored Paper or Cloth - 12' (3.6 m), B&H # MA0473, the Manfrotto 047-2 Alu-Core for Uncored Paper or Cloth - 9' (2.7 m), B&H # MA0472, or the Kupo Aluminum Core for a 9' Background, B&H # KUKG084312, for your usage needs.
