Lastolite 1108 Background Support Review

Unless you’re working in a custom-built photo studio, you’ll need some form of backdrop for your studio photography. The most common are either paper rolls or material.
The Lastolite background support system is designed to accommodate either of these, and the heavy duty 1150 version can also support the superwhite vinyl backdrops. The kit includes two sturdy lighting stands and a telescopic cross bar to suit different widths of roll or a curtain of up to 3m (1108 model) or 6m (1150 model), the 1150 also uses a third support stand.

The system can be constructed in minutes and when not in use, can be easily packed away into a small carry bag. This makes it ideal for those photographers wanting to create a temporary studio set up, or those on the move.
However, it is sturdy enough to use on a more permanent basis. Having used this kit in our Digital SLR Photography studio for the last three months, I couldn’t recommend it enough. Not only is it hard-wearing enough to cope with regular changing of backdrops, and a flurry of models, it comes at a very affordable price too.

Verdict:
A simple, affordable solution for all, whether it's in the studio or your home.
RATING: 5/5
