The Manfrotto Solo Heavy Duty Background Support (13' / 4m) is ideal for those photographers who work alone the majority of the time. It features a unique pivoting crossbar which makes raising the supports a much easier and safer operation. Rather than having to alternate between each end making small adjustments the pivoting connectors allow for much greater steps without the whole structure becoming unsafe and unwieldy. It can also be extended to 6m to accommodate wider textile backgrounds with the optional 2m extension..
