I have a vinyl backdrop 12 ft Height x 14 ft Width and is a 15 oz type. I would say it is about 100lbs heavy. Will this not sag at the middle?

Yes, it will sag in the middle. I have a seamless paper roll for the backdrop, which I'm guessing weights no more than 30-40lbs, and it sags substantially. I would be weary to put anything heavier than that. The stands themselves might support the weight, but the cross member is too flexible for 100lbs. Don't take any chances.

C. Lustria, what did you find strong enough to hold that heavy backdrop, whatever it is i want it.

I had a standard background holder. The background is heavy. I put mine on 2 inch metal conduit to keep it from sagging. I tried PVC and it wasn't heavy enough. The cardboard core is not strong enough. You will have to replace it. Best regards

I have two tips for you. The cross pole is a little wobbly. Use electricians tape at the joints and it will not wobble as much. I have also found that a fabric steamer will take care of the wrinkles once the backdrop is set up.

I think it would be able to but I haven't tried it. I have only used this at its 5ft width with paper backgrounds, but the pole seems pretty sturdy, I'm not sure if it would sag when at its widest

I honestly wouldn't put more than three pounds on the vinyl hanger. I have a large star on it and it's perfect. Holds it right in place. You don't want to put 10 pounds on it as it will pull your vinyl siding down.

I have had close to 400lbs in mine, the hammock itself will sag but have not had a problem with 2 people in it.

I'm pretty sure it can although it is a little wobbly... But for the last 8 months I've had a 54x4x4in backdrop on mine and according to the backdrop's product dimensions, it's 5.6 pounds (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002ER2YQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1).

I've used several different backdrops for this particular stand and they have all worked well. However, a few of the backdrops have been heavy enough to make the stand a bit unsteady, otherwise I have encountered no other issues of incompatibility.

Depends on how heavy it is and whether it has a 1/4x20 threaded socket. If the camera and light weigh more than a couple of pounds and you try to position it in a position close to horizontal, I'm worried that it would not be able to hold it without sagging. If your equipment is heavy, you may be better off with the locking articulated arm, it will support more weight.

I would say yes. I use mine to create a shade over my pool here in Nevada due to high 100+ temperatures. I don't mind a slight a slight sag in the middle. You can get the sagging out by using the correct screw brackets on each end to tighten the cover. I also use a fairly heavy set of 4 springs(one on each side) to give it a little bounce during the windy days.

Should not be a problem. My wife is 5'4" 110 lbs and has no problem setting it up on her backdrop stand by herself.

I couldn't say because it arrived with a broken piece. The collar that tightens the legs down on one of the stands was shattered - either in-transit or it was packed broken. I think it would be sturdy enough to hold a vinyl backdrop otherwise. I have contacted the manufactures to see if they would send a replacement piece, but they haven't responded. I will probably have to just return the product.

We have connected two backdrops (one heavy two layer fleece backdrop to block light from behind with a separate muslin backdrop in front) on the full width crossbar with not problems. The manual for the equipment states "Notice: Once your background stand is set up please be aware that some sag in the cross bars can be a common issue based on the size and weight of the backdrop you are using." Additionally it is designed to support canvas backdrops.

I have this funky old canvas background that I use that is at least 15lbs. I wouldn't push it much more than that, probably could do 20lbs. I would make sure that the weight is very evenly balanced.

It's very sturdy and will not sag. Mine if filled with DVDs with no space left for a single one and it's not sagging.

I have a 12lb monitor (Acer FT220HQL bmjj 21.5-Inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Touchscreen Monitor) hanging on this with no issues. Not sure if 15lb would work, but yqu can adjust the spring force so it is relative flexible.

Using a muslin backdrop, I haven't noticed much sag, if at all, when extended fully. It's worked great for me.
