How heavy is this kit? I'm hoping to travel to a show by plane and am looking for a suitable backdrop support.

I don't think it even weighs 5 pounds. Your backdrop cloth will weigh more than the rigging.

I would assume that there is a weight associated with the shipping information on Amazon. But its not too heavy. But you do need weights like sandbags to keep it sturdy.

Hi, it couldn't weigh more than 20lbs - maybe 15. It's sturdy as well and has never failed me. I love this thing. You'll be able to easily take this on your trip.

I concur with previous poster. The prop is not as heavy as it looks about 10lbs. It does come with nice mounting bracket though I ended up just leaning my against wall.

I'd figure no more than three pounds, it's more bulky than heavy. Perhaps you could mail it, and then not worry, or carry it on and use it in flight as cover.

No it's not. I use mine for staging equipment to create wings on the sides so that there are blinders for the audience when my actors are "back stage". I simply used black cotton bed sheets on it as it is cheaper in material. I use five twin flat sheets and don't recommend anything heavier as the top bar will bow in the middle. Also you will want sand bags or something like that to weigh it down. One bump and it will fall over. I'm happy for what I need it for but as a professional photographer I would find something better.

if you're asking this question it's not too heavy-quite lite as a matter of fact-if you weigh over 200 lbs I wouldn't as I'mabout 250 and the seams around the head end legs are splitting.time for the duct tape! good luck Frank

Not knowing the actual weight of the Muslin backdrop in question I would have to say maybe.. Yet that a very big if you're lucky kind of maybe. As some already pointed out you need to me really careful with this stand. Likewise I would also highly suggest getting a few sandbags for this stand because yes this stand needs them no matter what you put on it.

Not sure how heavy it is but it is heavy. My husband has to carry it. It definitely wouldn't fit above an airplane seat. Maybe under the plane.

This particular panel is heavy weighs like a small rug. If You're trying to create a solar powered rc plane, this ain't the panel. This panel is as long as a minivan, it works great, but not rc airborne.

This was my first attempt so I can tell you it will not work. First, the metal is not as heavy duty as it should be to support that weight. Second, the way this is meant to work 2 kits can not be used. You might try to find a better product that can support this or go to plan "B".

Each stand has a carry bag that fits it. It isn't overly thick, but enough to protect it. I ended up buying another bag that both of these stands fit in, and it has room for one thinner backdrop, clamps and umbrella adapters that fit the stands.

I don't have heavy stuff on this but I would be careful how heavy the items are. I have pictures so they don't weigh a lot. It will be beautiful with whatever you put on it.

Hi Adam. The one i ordered is 3.5 to 7ft. This is unrelated but this set up will not hold heavy materials/backdrops. The structure of it is not sturdy or strong enough. Hope this helps! &#128515;

Hello, well I would love to give you an answer but I have not been able to set up my back drop stand because I did not receive the proper parts. My order came with the travel bag 1 stand and 2 sets of poles for the actual back drop to hang off of. Soo from what I can tell by the quality of it, is that its pretty cheap material. You definitely get what you pay for. But I would have kept it had I received the proper parts, and still have yet to get a response from them. I emailed them right away but nothing yet. I would think for a cheap material from party city sure it would work just fine. and its 10x 10x soooo that length you mentioned should be fine. Hope this helped. Now im nervous for my limo studio lighting that's should be coming in tmrw.. yikes.

I only used it for it's intended purpose - to hold up a very large back drop. The backdrop was pretty light weight.

You can have any kind of backdrop you want. I used a 7ft vinyl backdrop which worked, but this Cowboy Studio pole set is flimsy and cheap, so I don't recommend any type of heavy backdrop.

I would be really hesitant about putting anything larger than a lightweight fpv camera on this bird. Too much weight in one place will translate to an unstable bird.

My best guess is more than 40 inches long. And does transport fairly easily. Most photographers like me are gear intensive. I pack the backdrop, two light stands, bag of muslins/props and camera bag in a metal gardening wagon.
