Background Support System | Manfrotto

Manfrotto Solo Background Stand. Portable mounting of photo backgrounds with a maximum width of 3 meters. The two holders for the boom are tiltable, making handling easy, quick, and safe when the background needs to be raised or lowered. Instead of raising each side of the background stand step by step, the Solo system allows you to adjust the height in larger steps without it becoming wobbly. Anyone who has ever tried to mount a roll of background paper on a background stand without help appreciates this simple and ingenious construction.

• Single user operation
• Unique pivoting cross bar
• 3 m width
• Height (stand) 99-282 cm

The stands included in the set have a working height between 99-282 cm, boom extension 116-298 cm. Each kit comes in a handy carry case which fits easily into a car. The Solo Support Bracket is also available on it’s own for use with most industry standard background support systems.

Mobile background hanging

Solo background hanging from Manfrotto by Manfrotto comes in a bag, making the set easy to carry. Two stands are included on which the tilt heads and extendable boom are mounted. It takes only a few minutes to set up the background on site.

For fabric or background paper rolls

The Solo background set is equally suitable for fabric backgrounds as for background paper rolls with a width of max 2.75 cm and length of 11 m. Since the boom is extendable, the set can quickly be adjusted to the width of the background. For increased stability and safety, we recommend that both stands are equipped with sandbags at the bottom as a counterweight (see accessory list). For heavier backgrounds such as vinyl rolls and paper 2.72x25m, we recommend wall/ceiling holders or a heavier background set.

A now industry standard piece of studio equipment, the Manfrotto background system is stable, easy to set up, and adjustable for any setting. Ideal for photography and videography sessions.The Manfrotto background support system is designed for use with either full or half width paper backgrounds and any fabric background. This versatile system is 3 metres wide and can collapse down to fit into a pretty small bag, making it ideal for transporting to different locations outside the studio.
