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

Bought this for the backdrop behind our head table at the wedding. It is great quality and does the job and then some. Very easy to assemble, put up, take down, and easily compacts for travel and storage. You definitely need to make sure you have weights for the bottom if you want to fully extend it width and height wise, but that should be expected and it gives you bags to fill with sand to assist with that and we had some extra weight to help as we had an open air pavilion reception and didn't need the wind to accidentally topple it over, but we had no issues with it and it has nice clips that come with it that held our backdrop curtain in place with was very nice again due to wind potential being outside.

I was originally concerned about this products ability to hold up a paper backdrop since they’re heavier than fabric ones.It did very well and it was super easy and intuitive to set up!I like the carrying case that it came with.I imagine it wouldn’t be quite as stable for very wide backdrops but I got this to do animal photo shoots with and it’s perfect for that!I wish I would have bought this sooner :)

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 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 !!!

I am a party planner and this was the show stopping piece of the event. I hung up sheer curtains and hung fairy lights, balloons etc. It was perfect! The curtains fit perfectly on the rod. Being able to adjust the height and width after it was hung pulled everything together. there was no adjustment needed. I didn't have to stand on a chair to try and hang decorations from the ceiling. Also, it is so lightweight, and despite its large size I was able to set it up myself; a second person holding up the other end wasn't necessary and there wasn't a second thought about it being straight or level. Also, it comes with a carrying case! That rolls up in a snap. It was disassembled and put away abd in the car in under 10 minutes. Also it is so versatile! I can't wait to hang Christmas decorations and lights from this and have a perfect holiday backdrop without having to string lights all over the house and clip them to the walls. The kids wanted to bring it outside and use it as a fort..instant pop up movie screen. The ideas are endless! Buy this! You should probably buy 2 because someone will definitely ask to borrow it 10/10

So I purchased this out of desperation. I did not realize that this item would come in handy! This has elevated my potential when it comes to backdrop projects. This item is super sturdy and love the fact that it provides multiple sizes, and feel that that some of the pictures serves no justice. I was able to compare this item to a similar item that was purchased on Shen. The Shen item did not provide any weights and the sturdiness of it could not compare. It was able to do the job but this item is very sturdy and I feel confident in using it as a backdrop and balloon arches. I will have to add some pictures and update my review on here.

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.
