I was skeptical at first, but is unfounded. The tripods are of high quality and durability. the crossbar is not only adapted to receive the materials offered, but I borrowed time from a known studio with a role and background paper. First small bet with my buddy photo, and now I have won ... The Hintergund system here with 307cm maximum width is quite take a role the background paper able. The only thing is the "handed" roll up after the shooting. But I think that's to get over when you have to re-ehh dismounting the portable studio. Also I use the tripod as Statv for my system flashes. For this purpose the adapter to the slope on the tripod, the system lightning strikes and the Systemblitz- softbox on it and shoot .... So all in all, an almost professional solution.
