This Vu-Pro background system can hold backgrounds up to 9 feet wide and extends to 9 feet high! Remember, all background systems look good, until you use them. This background system is rock solid and very stable. Vu-Pro uses a larger diameter tubing to increase the strength of their background stands, plus they use a double-bar bracing design on the legs of the stands to increased the support of the three legs and offer a widener footprint. This background system is designed to easily support over 50 lbs of weight!
