The Manfrotto Deluxe Autopole 2 Expan Drive background support system allows the raising and lowering of up to three cored backgrounds without climbing a ladder.
The Autopoles are held in place between a floor and ceiling as high as 12' with a powerful spring lock. Three Expan Drive sets work with their color-coded drive chains. The Expan Drives are held by the background hook set, which is clamped to the Autopoles.
Also included is a Manfrotto 9' background paper counterweight and three Manfrotto weights that keep the background paper chains taut.
