Q: 2. So a 12 x12 gel filter will 100% cover the opening?

A: No not completely, almost but not quite. I found it not really sufficient for directing small pocket of light for back ground illumination. Using a honey comb grid is much better.

Q: 5. Is this good for photographing large families and bringing to events?

A: Yes, it is ideal and designed for large photo opportunities. It would be perfect for photographing large families. It is a huge backdrop that extends to 12' so you need a large room with preferably a tall ceiling to accommodate it indoors. For outdoors, secure some weights to the backdrop supports to prevent the structure from being blown down by the wind. Preferably. you will need two people to set the backdrop up and take it down especially if fully extended.

Q: 7. I am looking at buying this to put a step and repeat banner on. Could a full 12' wide banner fit on the crossbar or should i make it around 11'? Would this handle the weight of a vinyl banner that length and 8 ' Tall?

A: I used a 12' x 8' banner on this stand recently and it worked out very well. I will reiterate what Joseph says, Use weights to keep this thing stable. I suggest the 5lb sand bags sold at B&H. These are cheap and I've got 8 or 10 of these as they come in handy to keep tripods grounded, light stands firmly planted, and backgrounds upright.

Q: 8. Hi I would like to know if the width of the 12' bar across the two stands is adjustable?

A: The bar comes as four, 3 foot sections. The sections interlock together. The only way to adjust it is if you remove 1-2 of the sections. It can be setup as a 6, 9 and 12 foot bar. Hope this helps!

Q: 9. what size gel does this need?

A: You can use 10x12 or 12x12 gels.

Q: 10. I just bought it but I am uncertain about the center column for the side stands. The instructions indicate to keep them low center of gravity, however the center pole is touching the floor when the legs are extended so if the floor is not fully flat it would not be stable... How are the legs suppose to work with these stands?

A: Sounds like you didnt fully extend the legs. I have two of these system and have not yet run into this issue. As a note about flat floors. These do not have leveling legs so an uneven surfaces are tough to work with
