Strobepro Background Autopole Kit
$299.95 CAD - $399.95 CAD
122700
Space-Saving Ingenuity
Traditional background stands can take up an extra five feet of width in addition to your backdrop, so small studio spaces have often relied on permanent wall or ceiling fixtures. The Strobepro Background Autopoles can set up anywhere with solid ceilings in seconds, can be taken down just as easily, and have virtually no footprint.

Customers praised this backdrop support system as "sturdy" and "easy to install," ideal for small studios and home setups. It holds backdrops securely, saves space, and offers flexibility. Some noted plastic chains instead of metal, and a locking mechanism would help with heavier backgrounds like velvet. Shipping costs were mentioned as a concern.
- Holds backdrops securely and saves space in my studio. Definitely a good investment.
- My studio looks extra professional and I love not having to run back and forth.
- Love these so much that I have 4 sets! I can switch quickly and enjoy variety.

The Strobepro Background Autopole Kit is solid and easy to set up. It holds backdrops securely and saves space in my studio. Definitely a good investment for anyone doing photography or videography regularly

I work out of my home and I needed a way to mount my backdrops without putting a ton of holes in the wall. I would have loved to mount it from the ceiling, but with the popcorn ceiling it wasn't ideal. The autopole is such a better way too do it than lightstands which stick out way further and they can become a tripping hazard for my clients. With the power lifting shaft instead of the ones that come with the kit, my studio looks extra professional and I love not having to run back and forth to use a chain to lift and lower the paper. Awesome product!

The set arrived in good time!
I am NOT handy at all, but I was able to assemble most of it on my own! Woohoo!
I just needed help with actually lining up the poles.
My ONLY complaint is that thought the pulley chains would be metal and they are plastic.
AND they are all the same colour. But still 5 stars because Im very happy with the quality!!!

The autopole system is a fantastic tool for your backdrops. You can customize it to fit almost anywhere in your home and to accommodate almost any size backdrop. I would suggest buying an adjustable cross bar for your backdrops to help prevent bowing over time. Other than that it's a sturdy, well made and welcome addition to any home studio.

Quick and easy to install and operate. The only caveat we bumped into which could be improved is when you use a background that is heavy (we use velvet backgrounds), a locking mechanism on the chain would be useful. We simply opted for jamming a pen in the chain near to pulley to stop it from unwinding the background all the way. It works great for the green screen we also have as it is lighter. I am sure it works great for paper rolls as well which I keep in mind as an option for future setups.

This has changed my studio experience so much. The ease of use and flexibility of changing backgrounds and it impresses my clients and team. Everyone has told me what a great investment it is. I live outside the US so shipping it was a bit pricy but it was definitely worth it!

I love it. Super easy to set up. Definitely would by from Strobepro again. Customer service is top notch.

Great product. Great service. Thanks.

Just like everything else from Strobepro it's a good quality product at a decent enough price and fast shipping.
My only gripe is shipping isn't free and they use Purolator which never ever delivers and I always have to go pick it up.
We do offer free shipping at $699. If you're having trouble with Purolator in your area just let us know and we can send by UPS next time. Thanks

Sturdy, quick and easy to install.
J
Easy to set up and remove, or even reposition throughout the studio.

This is a sturdy and top-quality piece of hardware. The online video of setup and use is very accurate. The store was very helpful on the phone to arrange shipping. I'm very pleased with this item.

Great product, easy to install !
C
Love these so much that I have 4 sets! I now have access to a dozen drops in my studio at anytime, so I can switch quickly and enjoy variety. I have 2 walls with 2 sets each and love it!

I had ordered autopoles from a large US store and they arrived missing the end pieces, and after 11 months I still hadn’t received the missing pieces to make them usable so I ordered these ones from strobepro as well. The missing pieces came in a few months later, so I can do an exact comparison
and can say I see absolutely no difference between these and the much more expensive brand name version purchased, and had a way better buying experience. These are a studio must have!

I want to know, if I use these stands in combination with 3 aluminum tubes and 3 9x36' seamless paper backdrop, which I want to fix on these stands on a permanent basis, i.e. they will always be fixed, will I have problems with this structure and will the stands withstand such a constant load? For example, for a year.
The stands can handle the weight without a problem. They are designed to take this weight easily.
Thanks

How wide a background can these manage?
You can space them to whatever width you want as long as the support crossbar you are using is strong enough. If you're using paper then it's no problem for the largest 9' width.

Hi,Hi high can these poles extend to?
Hi, They can extend to 12 feet.<br/>Thanks
L
What’s the minimum height the poles go?
The minimum height is 87 (7.25 feet)

I want a portable system for a small room where I can set up as needed. How do I modify the kit to use 1 paper roll at a time?
You don't have to modify anything. You can just load one lifting shaft instead of 3. Just select one lifting shaft set in the kit if that is all you need.<br/>Thanks
