Background stands for vinyl?

[Deleted sulking member 63079]

I'm thinking about picking up a cheapish background stand, strong enough to hold a vinyl background. I don't want to spend a lot of money on one, as I'm not planning on doing a huge amount of studio-portrait work, but have a few ideas I'd like to try out and get a bit more practice with lighting.

Has anyone got any recommendations? Would something like this be strong enough: http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-interfit-cor756-background-support-system-2-6m-high-x-3-1m/p10036

Cheers,

I use this one with 2x6m bessel double sided vinyl without problems, it's not fully telescopic and the stand tops thread wouldn't easily double as lighting stands which is a shame but it's pretty solid and rated to 12kg which handles most vinyls. Looked for a while and it was hard to find anything else near the price which will handle that weight.

Great, thanks That looks perfect. The stands may well double up as lighting stands with an umbrella clamp since I'm only using speedlights and not studio flashes as well.
