I decided to treat myself to an inexpensive backdrop
holder from Amazon at the bargain price of £19.99. The
reason I was tempted was because I have been using Amoretti
biscuits tins and clothes pegs to hold up my backdrops when
taking photographs. It worked but looked a bit Heath Robinson if
you get my drift ?
Anyway you roughly get 65cm of adjustable pole to hang your back
drop on. The backdrop is attached at the top by two large clips and
there is an adjustable height stand up to 40cm,which was perfect for
my backdrops. You are able to assemble the whole thing in about a minute
and it can face any direction. There is also a nice stand on the bottom
which conveniently fits under the wargaming board.
Expansion wise you could easily sit another stand next to it. Another
idea would be to buy a second stand and place it a couple of metres away
and insert a smaller metal tube to link the two ?
All in all a very nice piece of kit and I would give it a 9 out of 10
score.
My God, you have to love the blogosphere. I never even knew such a thing existed, and now that I know, I’m getting one!

Glad you liked it. Backdrops are something new that are about to explode onto the wargaming scene. There are a couple of companies preparing to bring out bespoke backdrops for 40k in the New Year.
They really make a photo. I love the way technology allows these positive changes. I was looking at printed foam ponds and marshes just the other day.
I did not know of such backdrop holders, either. Exactly what I would like to make set up easier for scenic shots.
Its comes highly recommended and I`m going to buy a 2nd and put an extension pole between them.
I can’t find this for the life of me, can you provide a link please? Brilliant idea…
