Recommend me something to hold background paper rolls

[scottduffy]

Guys I'm just about finished my wee studio conversion and I need something to support my paper rolls. I can't have anything hanging from the ceiling as it's sheeted with asbestos sheets so would much prefer something that can be mounted to the walls at the side or even behind the roll. Any recommendations?

wouldn't be doing anything in a room with asbestos present

The sheets are in perfect order which is why they were painted and left as the were.

Asbestos is present in plenty of places as you probably know and is completely harmless unless disturbed.

Something like that for rolls, try ebay as there are some Chinese variants available.

Isn't there a background support system for sale in the classifieds?

I Like/use the Manfrotto autopoles - they are superb

I've got one myself mate but want something without stands.

I'll have a wee read.

Anyone use wall mounted boom arms/light stands? Since I’ve not got tons of space I thought these might be useful.

Had a quick read at a previous thread and have decided these are not for me.

Going to use the crossbar of the background system I have and fit it into a couple of steel cups on each wall. That should work. Have something else in mind though that I might give a bash. I'll let you know if it works. Haha

There are now plenty of wall hanging kits available, for example https://www.lencarta.com/all-products/backgrounds/wall-mounted-triple-background-support
But I made my own, from a pair of ladder racks and a length of pipe.

I have the Wall mounted Scissor Boom - I think mine extends about 2m. It keeps the floors free and is very convenient for working in very tight environment
