Background Roller System Accessories & Components

Professional Accessories for Background Roller Systems

A properly configured photography background roller system does more than store your backdrops. The right rollers, controls, and accessories can improve background handling, reduce sagging and curling, and make your studio workflow faster and more efficient.

Pro Studio Supply offers a selection of background roller system accessories and replacement components for 9-ft and 12-ft systems. These components can be purchased with a new roller system or, where applicable, ordered separately to upgrade or maintain an existing installation.

Because these products are large and specialized studio components, roller system orders cannot be placed online. Please contact Pro Studio Supply so we can review your requirements and provide a complete quotation, including applicable freight charges to your location.

Important: Backgrounds Are Sold Separately

Background roller systems do not include photographic backgrounds.

Seamless paper, vinyl, and custom vinyl backdrops can be ordered separately and may be purchased at the same time as your roller system.

Our staff can help coordinate the appropriate combination of roller components and background materials for your studio.

Available Roller System Accessories

40-Foot Remote Control Cord

For motorized installations where additional reach is useful, the 40-foot remote control cord provides greater flexibility when positioning the control point within the studio.

The extended cord length can be especially helpful in larger studios or installations where the standard control location is not convenient.

40-Foot Remote Control Cord — $259.00

Standard Background Rollers

Standard rollers provide the basic support for individual background rolls and are available in both 9-foot and 12-foot configurations.

Choose the roller width that corresponds with the background system and backdrop size being used.

9-Foot Standard Roller — $299.00

12-Foot Standard Roller — $329.00

Reinforced Background Rollers

Longer or heavier background materials may require additional support. For these applications, Pro Studio Supply offers 2.5-inch-diameter reinforced rollers designed to provide greater rigidity than a standard roller.

Reinforced rollers are a good consideration when working with long, heavy, or substantial backdrop materialswhere additional support is desirable.

9-Foot Reinforced Roller — $559.00

12-Foot Reinforced Roller — $799.00

Heavy-Duty Power Rollers

For applications involving multiple backgrounds on a single roller or heavier backdrop configurations, our 4-inch-diameter Power Roller provides increased strength and rigidity.

The larger-diameter roller helps reduce sagging through the center of the background and allows the backdrop to move into position more efficiently.

Power Rollers are particularly useful for professional studios that place greater demands on their background support system.

12-Foot Power Roller — $999.00

Cutting Edge

A Cutting Edge attaches to the bottom edge of a photographic backdrop to help prevent the material from curling and to keep the background properly positioned as it is raised and lowered into place.

It also helps create a more controlled transition from the vertical backdrop to the studio floor, making it easier to achieve a clean, consistent sweep.

We strongly recommend a Cutting Edge as an essential accessory for every background roller system.

9-Foot Cutting Edge — $199.00 each

12-Foot Cutting Edge — $229.00 each

Choosing the Right Roller

The appropriate roller depends on the width, weight, length, and intended use of your background material.

A standard roller is suitable for many conventional backdrop applications. Heavier or longer materials may benefit from the added rigidity of a reinforced roller, while installations carrying multiple backgrounds on one roller may require the additional capacity of a Power Roller.

Because background materials and studio installations vary, we recommend discussing your requirements with Pro Studio Supply before placing an order.

Build Your Roller System to Match Your Studio

Accessories and components can be selected to complement your specific 9-ft or 12-ft background roller system, whether your installation is manual or motorized.

When planning a new installation, consider the:

• Number of backgrounds you need to store
• Width and weight of each backdrop
• Type of background material
• Frequency of background changes
• Amount of available studio space
• Manual or motorized operation
• Need for reinforced or heavy-duty rollers
• Desired control location

Selecting the correct components from the beginning can help ensure your background system performs properly and remains useful for years to come.
