Great reviews and great price, am I missing something here? I am thinking about pulling the trigger on this set up but wanted to see if anyone has an opinion on it or has used it before. Link below, thanks!

I have it. It works great. Don't forget the clamps so the paper doesn't unroll. I wish the paper was wider I'm going to have to buy another roll.

I see from the item description that the stand goes 8'10" high, is it adjustable below that height? The reason I ask is at 8'10" high it may not work well in my garage but would be great at 7'. Is this possible?

I may order it in a day or two. Is there anything around the same price rang out there that may be a better alternative?

After reading on Savage's website that it can hold a 107" seamless, I bought one locally. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'm chomping at the bit to try it!

Could anyone post some close up pics of the knobs on the light stands and how the crossbar actually works? I cant seem to find any good pictures of this set up what so ever online!

Cross bar has holes on the two edges so it just drops on the light stand spigot, simple.
