Hello,

I am in need of some recommendations for a background system. I want to make sure it's high enough to cover fashion (so I guess 13' for wide angles) but sturdy and portable as well - I know they're competing objectives, but which are the ones that are considered "solid" for their price. I plan on getting a black background along with some white paper as well.

Thanks!

This is the set I have, and it's more than adequate for heavy rolls of paper or fabric. I highly recommend it.

and also have their M9113 , which is a sturdier setup than the one above , this one is 20 foot wide and I use it to hold a separate black and separate white background , so good so far.
