![]() I cut mine down to different sizes so they match my specific usage but they break down into 3 small 3' pieces for easy travel and transport.ģ) Neewer Single Roller System" Tons of companies make these roller systems, but for my rotating system, you are definitely going to need at least one roller and also one of the smaller J hooks to mount on the rotating side of the system.Ĥ) Impact Three Hook Background System: Similar to the Neewer version above, this gives you the ability to mount three rolls of paper, or in this case, I cut off the longer hooks to use on the opposite side of my rotating support. ![]() might have to look into that as well.Ģ) Fotoconic 10 ft Background Bar for Backdrops: These are great for mounting your canvas backdrops or even adding reinforcement to your rolls of Savage Paper Backdrops.
