Stock Available: 18
Product Description
The CB-3S Telescopic Background Support Cross Arm delivers professional-grade backdrop support with uncompromising strength and versatility. Crafted from premium stainless steel construction, this telescopic crossbar outperforms standard aluminium alternatives by providing superior durability and load-bearing capacity for demanding studio environments.
Perfect for professional photographers, videographers, and content creators who require reliable backdrop positioning across various shooting scenarios. Whether you're capturing intimate portrait sessions, expansive product photography, or dynamic video content, this crossbar adapts seamlessly to your creative vision.
Studio backdrop systems often frustrate photographers with unstable positioning, limited adjustability, and unreliable support mechanisms. The CB-3S eliminates these common pain points by offering a robust foundation that maintains consistent backdrop tension and positioning throughout extended shooting sessions.
The 3-section telescopic design extends smoothly from 1.2 metres to 3 metres, providing exceptional range for diverse shooting requirements. Its precision-engineered twist-lock mechanism ensures secure positioning once extended, preventing unwanted movement or sagging during critical moments. The universal 5/8" stud compatibility means instant integration with your existing light stand setup, streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Please note: This crossbar is not compatible with backdrop reeling systems.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Extend sections gradually and lock each one individually for maximum stability
✓ Store in a dry environment to maintain the stainless steel's pristine finish
✓ Use backdrop clamps or clips to secure your backdrop material evenly across the crossbar
✓ Check twist-lock mechanisms before each shooting session to ensure proper engagement
✓ Position light stands at appropriate distances to prevent backdrop sagging
✗ Don't exceed the 10kg maximum load capacity - your backdrop (and potentially your equipment) will thank you
✗ Don't force sections when extending or retracting - gentle pressure works better than brute strength
✗ Don't leave sections partially locked during shooting - fully engage all twist-locks for reliable support
✗ Don't use with backdrop reeling systems - this crossbar is designed for traditional backdrop mounting only
✗ Don't store sections extended unnecessarily - keep folded when not in use to maintain mechanism integrity
