One of the clamps holding the bar up is too weak when engaged and the backdrop keeps slipping down. Is there a way to tighten it?

Yes, use a small socket wrench on the nut in the clamp. I did the exact same thing and it will tighten up.

Measure where you want the bar and then with no clothes on the lower bar, tighten by hand very tightly. Test your measurement with one item, such as a shirt, and make sure both sides of the bar are even so bar is straight. The use a ratchet tool with a lot of muscle or a power tool to really tighten hardware. I was sad at first thinking this was a bad design but it does work with the right tools and is a nice feature.

Give it a little tug that should set it in place. Any way that works for me.

If all you're talking about is the height top bar to floor, just put t screen on, roll the top bar and clamp it, then click the top bar in place. If you mean width, take a bar segment out and clamp the excess backdrop. So answer is yes :P

For me I just set the rounded depression on the bottom of the light on the handle bar. I took the smaller rubber band and wrapped it over the front groove of the mount, then stretched it under the bar and over the groove on the back of the mount. The tension in the rubber band held it tightly in place. Please tell me what is happening for you and I will try to help.

Yes, use included wrenches to loosen clamps. Remember or mark location to re-install.

You could try checking the tension using the instructions in the manual. If it's too loose it will come off.

Yes, I did that when I first put them together. Easy fix if u take the stool off the stand were the lever is. Try raising it after turning it either left or right. Raise n lower it n than tighten bolts again

I believe I used a wrench to pull it up around the bar.... There might be a you tube video about it.

I bought 6" clamps, but the opening in the center of the clamp is not large enough to allow the jaws to close on the backdrop. I'm going to have to look for others that are a bit longer and have a larger center opening. I have not started looking yet, just using redneck engineering to stretch the fabric for now.

I only use light weight backdrops because the legs don't lock in place now. I have to use painters tape to hold them.

Initially had the same problem and was able to solve it two ways. First, make certain bar is apart against wall as far as it can go without damaging wall (or stud). Second, find screw in the middle of the bar and tighten it quite tightly to prevent rotation of bar. If this does not work, I suggest replacement or refund.

Turn the resistance knob to lowest setting. Try attaching before you set the posts together.

Hi Laura,If I remember correctly you just use a screwdriver to tighten the bars but I found one of my dogs is smarter than I gave him credit for and he kept using his head to move the bar over and then get in the front seat. I solved the issue by taking black electrical tape and taping around the bar to make sure he could no longer move it.I hope this helped!!

I would love to help you, but I was not able to extend mine fully. It is not very sturdy and if you attempt to fully extend it the weight of the light mount alone will BEND the bar. I used it once and had to modify it for other things as it did not really meet my expectations. If you are using it for babies, and newborn shots, small subjects and other closer work, perhaps... but not for adults and other full sized subjects.

I would go to the mfg. site. Mine has not broken it is just a pain to clamp when set vertically.

No, the bar is useless. I tried super glue, duct tape and nothing works. I was hoping I could get a replacement part but haven't gotten a message back from the supplier.
