Hi all,

The thing you looking for is the Manfrotto auto pole, this pole is not cheap, and you also need some accessories like super clam to mount the lights to the pole, you can check out these items from Manfrotto site, and you can get them from Cathy Photos or Ruby Photos.

Actually depends on what lights you are planning to put on them .... If its for the heavier monoblocks .... i wouldn't trust using a super clamp, especially after you put on a light box.

I think autopoles should be mainly for backdrops ... not really for lights.

the autopoles that i saw is super thick! abt 2" width i think... the ones that OP used to showcased their strobes and bag etc.

if its for backdrop, do you think the shower curtain poles wld do ok?

autopoles definably is strong enough for lights, it depends on whether set up properly or not.

we usually set up 3 rolls of 9 ft paper backdrop, with 3 pairs of expender, two brackets, on two autopoles. how heavy is a mono block light with a softbox compare to these?

I bought my home background set from Tagotech. I portable background stand. I love this because I can bring it with me when I shoot family photos of my friends at the home. After using it, storage requires little space. I also bought too Muslin from the.
