Built for Fast Setup and Easy Transport
The X-Drop Pro Backdrop Stand is ideal for photographers who need to work quickly without sacrificing professionalism. The aluminium frame keeps the overall weight down, while the collapsible design means it breaks down to a compact 86 cm length. Everything packs neatly into the included padded carry case, which features shoulder straps and can be worn like a backpack, making it easy to move between locations with fewer trips to the car.
Compatible with 5 ft and 8 ft X-Drop Backdrops
This stand is designed to work with a wide range of Westcott X-Drop backdrops. It supports 5 ft wide backdrops in 5 x 7 ft and 5 x 12 ft sizes, as well as 8 ft X-Drop Pro backdrops in 8 x 8 ft and 8 x 13 ft sizes. Whether you are using solid colours, printed designs, washable fabrics, or lightweight canvas, the expandable frame adapts easily to different backdrop sizes.
Adjustable Depth for Any Space
The rear leg of the X-Drop Pro Stand adjusts to suit your shooting environment. For 5 ft wide backdrops, the depth adjusts from approximately 28 to 117 cm. For 8 ft wide backdrops, the depth adjusts from around 48 to 168 cm. This flexibility allows you to keep the footprint narrow in small rooms, or extend it for added stability when space allows.
Wrinkle Reduction and Added Stability
Built-in hooks on each arm and leg secure the backdrop using its metal grommets, while the telescoping frame gently stretches the material to help reduce wrinkles. Non-slip rubber feet keep the stand steady on a variety of surfaces, and additional hooks allow you to attach optional weight bags or stakes when extra stability is needed.
