One 1 heavy duty 4 section cross bar Two 2 heavy duty spring cushioned light stands One 1 carrying case The 901 backdrop support system is heavy duty and suitable for holding all types and sizes of backdrops.

This is my first real background support kit, a step up from cardboard tubes and masking tape. It just arrived, reasonably quick shipping from Cowboy Studio, and I've only tested it by setting it up and tearing it down. A few thoughts so far:* The package smells like wood smoke. Not sure what that's about.* No instructions are included. The setup isn't hard to figure out so this isn't an annoyance, just contrary to norm.* The included bag is nice. Lightly padded, with pockets or elastic straps for all of the parts. It has the logo of the manufacturer, Fancier, embroidered on the side.* A quick Google search on the model number from the box ("Fancier FS901") shows that this backdrop kit is a generic Chinese manufactured set. I have no problem with this but it would have been nice for Cowboy Studio to be up front about the branding instead of representing it as their own.* The aluminum tubes for both the stands and the crossbar are quite large, at least an inch across.* The height adjustment for the stands is spring-cushioned. A little unexpected bounce, and you have to push on the top to compact them to their smallest height. I was expecting air-cushioned, but I don't think Cowboy Studio advertised either way.* The rubber feet on the legs are simple rubber disks, maybe 1/4" thick. I'm worried that at the wrong angle the metal legs could contact the floor, and potentially scratch it.* Overall the feel of the product is only OK. Finishing on the edges of the metal parts is a tad rough. All parts appear well lubricated but I got some grease on my hands from handling it. And the smokey smell worries me.Although I can't compare, I think I might have preferred CowboyStudio Backdrop Supporting System with 10' Updated Crossbar - 2550, which according to the photos uses 2 actual light stands and has nicer-looking knobs. I may contact Cowboy Studio about an exchange. Back To Top CowboyStudio Photography 10 ft Heavy Duty Crossbar Studio Portable Background Support...
