EMARTPhoto Backdrop Stand kit, 8.5 x 10 ft Back Drop Adjustable Frame for Photography, Photoshoot Banner Background Support Holder for Parties DectorationClimatePartner certified

I’m very happy with my purchase of the EMART Photo Backdrop Stand Kit (8.5 x 10 ft) The setup is incredibly simple, I was able to assemble it by myself in just a few minutes, no extra hands needed. It’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor events like parties, photo shoots, and banners.The kit is well thought out and comes with everything you need: 6 clamps, 4 clips, 2 sandbags, 2 light stands, 4 crossbars, and a portable bag. The adjustable design is great, both the width and height can be customized to fit your space, and the locking knobs make it super easy to secure.One thing to note: the minimum length across starts at 62 inches, and adjustments go in 30” increments, so it doesn’t offer super fine-tuned adjustments. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of if you’re aiming for certain setups.The clamps and clips are really strong, they easily hold fabric, paper backdrops, balloons, and string lights in place without shifting. Plus, with the sturdy base and included sandbags, this stand stays put, even outdoors.Another big plus is how lightweight and portable it is! Everything fits neatly into the included carrying bag, making storage and transport super convenient.Overall, I highly recommend this backdrop stand. It’s simple, sturdy, adjustable, portable, and comes with all the accessories you need. Great value for the price!

Incredible quality and value. Durable. Easy to put together. Nice bag for easier transport and storage. I had a small issue with a missing part and Customer Service rocked on replacement!I've bought plenty of stands in the past but only audio. These are quite sturdy for how tall they are. The horizontal rod is great for a light to medium material or banner. I wouldn't put a heavy carpet on it.

I bought this for a backdrop for a Christmas in July Party. I have at least one other backdrop stand from the same company/seller. I am very pleased with the way this product held up. Set up was pretty easy, and it comes in a nice carry-all bag to hold extra clips.

The stand it's self is good however my problem is with the bag .... it is super flimsy and not big enough, period !!! I'm sure the zipper will blow in no time , it's that tight !!! Adding an extra washer to each top is a great idea !!! But so far the stand itself seems to be holding up well !!!

This stand works really well with the paper roll I got if you're looking for one to go with it: Huamei Seamless Photography Background Paper, Photo Backdrop PaperBe advised; the included sandbags do not come with sand in them (which is laughable when the directions tell you to put them on like two light-as-air canvas sacks are going to hold anything in place) but I just put a 2lb hand weight in each of them and it got the job done. (Make sure you have those, or use cans of food or something. Maybe you already own sand...?)Otherwise it was very easy to set up by one person and feels very sturdy and secure WITH the 2lb weights I added to the mix, of course. The clips are a nice touch to keeping the background in place. Definitely recommend.

Surprisingly quick and simple to set up because there are so few pieces (they telescope instead of having to assemble a dozen different rods). Lightweight but not too flimsy. No sagging of the top bar, but we only had tyvek hanging from it; I'm unsure of how it would hold heavier material like a quilt or a large vinyl banner. The 4 spring clamp bungees that came with it made a huge difference in holding the backdrop flat and smooth.The only trouble we had is that the stands and side telescoping bars have no notches on them to help make sure they extend by equal distances or to prevent the top bar from swinging right/left on pivoting side bars, so it was a little difficult to get them (and the backdrop) straight. Once we got it set up, we decided to scoot it over a few feet. That threw everything off kilter, so we had to start over again making sure all was even. A measuring tape or level and a way to keep the side bars from pivoting would come in handy during setup. This could all actually be an advantage, though, if you're setting up on uneven ground because you can tweak it by the smallest increments in almost any direction.In the end, I'm satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it -- especially for the price.

The Pros...This is exactly what most have said, you'll be glad that you bought this.Its stability it good, better than I thought even with all of the good reviews.It's made well...For my needs, used in (non-professional) photographic ways, it's all that I need.It stores into the furnished small bag and is easy to tote.The Cons...The ONLY con(s) that I can think of is, the elastic may wear/stretch on the small straps after awhile, and, the teeny-tiny clamps that are attached to that are not very strong, I was SHOCKED at how taut I had it and it still held, but, I can foresee a time that it might not work correctly due to it's such a small clamp.What I will probably do, and I suggest that you do too, is, buy extra elastic-clamp straps for the future.Another thing that 'may' be trouble for you IF you use a paper type backdrop, or a cheap, thin one, these small metal clamps will more than likely rip it, I don't know for sure, but it is a small metal clamp, after all.(I'm not sure if this is even possible, but if they offer these black and orange plastic clamps, buy a few extra, make SURE that they are exactly like these though, they need to be able to fit (around) the top horizontal rod. I have other clamps, even made by this same company, they are not large enough, so be forewarned.(They supply extra wingnuts, so those are probably going to be the very first thing that you lose, and they knew it) :)Anyway, it's worth EVERY BIT the price, and made well enough that professionals could use it, IF they had to, of course.
