This is a good portable background support system that I use for occasional product photography. Easy to setup by myself, and sturdy enough not to tip over.

This product was highly recommended to me by one of B&H's employees. I spoke with him, told him exactly what I was looking for (including my level of photography) and he recommended this. It's perfect. It's sturdy and very easy to set up and take down. I'm so pleased with this. Thanks B&H!!!

Does the job well. Strong and durable. Savage delivers! It's a big plus it has a telescopic crossbar so you're not restricted at 3', 6' or 9'. Holds a 9' paper roll no problem!

Savage's Port-A-Stand is easy to use and transport. For what it was designated for - a portable system - it is very sturdy. If you shoot on location and use backgrounds, this is a fantastic product - compact, easy to use, sturdy.

I used my stand for the first time two weeks ago! It was wonderful. Easy and quick to set up! The only thing I would suggest is to provide instructions with the system.

I used this stand to take Christmas pictures of the children in my daughter's pre-school class. It was easy to assemble and position. Although not impossible to set up on your own, it goes up faster with an extra set of hands. The construction was excellent. I was concerned at first that the lightweight design would result in tipping but was please to see that even with rambunctious pre-schoolers that it was steady and never once seemed wobbly or likely to fall over. The travel case provides ease of transport and the stand is reasonable in weight. I loved how easily it adjusts for the environment that I was in.

I use this product all the time and love it! It fits just about anywhere and is easy to set up... Also, it is very stable when all the way out...

great stand, love that it comes in it's own carrying case.

The Port A Stand is everything I was hoping it would be. It's easy to put together. I can do it by myself and I'm a small girl. Adjusts easily and is much sturdier then I was expecting. Great product, I'm glad I got it!

Reading other reviews I was a bit skeptical when I decided to purchase this kit... I'm happy to say I am very pleased with my purchase and this product! The stands are sturdy and easy to use (although one stand does stick a little bit... not a big deal). The telescoping crossbar extends/contracts easily and appears to be extremely sturdy. Roll paper is heavy... this unit is made to support wide roll paper... it's well built and suited to do so. Setting this up by yourself can be a bit tricky. As stated above, roll paper is heavy... putting the 53 roll on the crossbar then on the stands can be a challenge the first time you do it. I would not want to set this up by myself were I to use wider roll paper. Using cloth backgrounds is not a challenge. I highly recommend getting several spring clips of varying sizes... you will need these to secure the paper or cloth background. The paper wants to unroll as soon as it's on the bar (gravity and physics)... securing the roll with a clip prevents this and allows you to adjust the length of the paper. For the money you can't beat this kit!!
