Background Support Colorama Rolleasy

Background support for paper backgrounds and vinyl backgrounds

With Colorama RollEasy, the handling of background paper, with a width of up to 3.55 meters, becomes smooth and easy. The RollEasy system is built to withstand the weight of the wide paper backgrounds and vinyl backgrounds. The clever system of cranking the background rollers means that the heavy rollers are handled with ease.

How big does the photo studio or venue need to be for RollEasy system?

To accommodate RollEasy in combination with background paper with a width of 3.55 metres, the room needs to be around four meters wide. The ceiling height should ideally be about 3 meters or more. If they are located a doorway to the side, the depth to the back wall from the door frame should preferably be 50-60 cm. If RollEasy is to be used in combination with background paper or vinyl with a width of 2.72 metres, a space with a width of just over 3 meters is required.

Which should I choose, RollEasy with ceiling mount or wall mount?

There are two types of attachment for RollEasy background support, on the ceiling or on the wall. If the ceiling height is suitable and there are studs to fasten to, or if it is a concrete ceiling, the ceiling bracket can be used with advantage. If the ceiling height is high or if the ceiling is not suitable for ceiling mounting, the wall bracket is used.
If RollEasy is to be mounted on a wall with e.g. a door, it is good if the backgrounds hang a bit out into the room. In these cases, you usually combine the roof bracket with a strong angle bracket made of steel (purchased in a hardware store or another supplier).

How should the background suspension be attached to the ceiling or wall?

Each paper background with size 3.55x30 meters weighs approx. 22 kg each and vinyl background with size 3.55x9 meters weighs 16 kg. If you have e.g. 3 pieces of background paper, the weight will be approx. 75 kg with the boom inserted into the paper core, which means that attachment to the ceiling or wall must withstand the weight without giving way. If it is a concrete wall or ceiling, there is usually no problem, but if it is wallboard made of wood or plaster, a wooden plate must be installed, which is attached to the joists of the wall or ceiling. The RollEasy bracket can then be mounted in the wooden plate.

Advantages of Colorama RollEasy background suspension

• The background is simply cranked out to the desired length and the background roll is locked in the selected length
• During photography, the crank can be removed so that it does not risk being included in the picture
• RollEasy can be easily adapted to how many rolls should be in place
• RollEasy Set for paper backgrounds with a width of 3.55 meters is delivered with a steel boom that is pushed into the paper core. This means that the background paper is kept straight without creases.
