This is a great setup for hanging backdrops! The silver Manfrotto Autopole is adjustable from 6.9-12.1' and designed to serve the needs of image makers, decorators, and set designers. The brushed aluminum pole mounts between the floor and ceiling of a studio, or between any two flat, fixed surfaces. It is secured with a large spring-lock handle and has rubber feet at both ends to prevent abrasion damage. Extensions are available to accommodate higher ceilings or changes in your requirements. Autopoles support backgrounds, lights, and grip arms with the addition of separately available accessories including super clamps, hooks, and crossbars. A spring-loaded tip combined with rubber suction cups on the top and bottom provide greater security. Floor-to-ceiling or wall-to-wall, this Autopole provides strong vertical or horizontal support for lighting.
There are four poles in total - two Manfroto Autopole and 2 Manfrotto Autopole-2. If you were to buy these new today, you'd spend more than $150-195 each.
