Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. do you know the diameter of the crossbar?

A: The diameter of the crossbar itself is 32 mm (1 1/4 inch). The end caps are 38 mm (1 1/2 inch) without the screws. With the screws in open position, they are about 65 mm (2 1/2 inch), but taking off one screw to slide the background in is not much of a problem

Q: 2. will it accept wheels?

A: Unfortunately, this support system cannot accept wheels.

Q: 3. What would be the benefit with the pro backdrop support kit? Would the non-pro be more beneficial for portable use vs studio use?

A: I own the pro version and the main difference is the weight it can hold on the crossbar. The non pro version is only rated for 20 pounds where the pro version is rated for 38 pounds. I have the 140x105 paper backdrop and could not imagine the non pro version being able to hold it. My thought is that if you are investing in something that you need to be over 12ft wide then I would get the higher weight rating.

Q: 4. Can I buy this crossbar without the kit(stands)?

A: Impact does not sell it separately. You can get a 12' telescopic from Photoflex https://bhpho.to/2xqyFOE.

Q: 5. The top collar is supposed to slide when you extend the legs. When I fully loosen, the metal inside collar is still fully engaged which doesn't allow me to slide the legs. What am I missing?
