The lightweight and portable BGS-S12-V2 Background Support System from Impact consists of two support stands, which extend to a maximum height of 10.5'. Four 3' crossbar sections are included, so you can assemble a crossbar that extends 6, 9, or 12' wide. The support system holds up to 9' x 12 yd seamless paper rolls or backdrops weighing up to 20 lb. This system becomes ideal for shooting portraiture or tabletop photography and can break down to a folded length of 3.5' to always be ready to go. For added functionality, the support stands convert to a pair of light stands when the top adapters are removed. Both stands feature an industry-standard 5/8ʺ spigot with a 3/8ʺ threaded post, so you can mount lights, LEDs, or flashes as well as light-shaping accessories like umbrellas or reflectors. The included canvas bag makes it convenient to carry and store the background support system.
