User Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Impact Background Support System. We 
designed this background support system from 16-gauge aluminum tubing to 
be strong but lightweight. It will support seamless paper rolls up to 11´ in 
length or 12´-wide sheets of muslin. The four cross-bar sections can be 
combined into 6´, 9´, or 12´ lengths. Two air-cushioned support stands have 
three positive-locking knobs and are adjustable from 39˝ to 10.5´. The stand 
tops are equipped with 3/8˝ spigots, which can be removed for the 1/4˝-20 
and 5/8˝ studs underneath. Non-skid support feet give your backdrop added 
stability. The heavy-duty canvas carry bag has a separate sleeve for each 
piece, cutting down on the noisy clanking that occurs with simpler kits.
We trust that our background support system will serve your creative 
inspirations reliably for years to come. Please read these instructions 
carefully on how to set up this equipment.
The basic Impact Background Support System contains the following:
• Two support stands  • Four cross-bar sections
• Canvas carry bag  • User manual
