I am getting the Neewer Single Wall roller and this is one of the best actual insight videos I've seen. BTW this was beautifully shot for an instructional video and the chain "wrangler" was a sweet touch. Best of Luck!
Thank you so very much for the positive feedback! I actually just used my roller system this morning.
Your studio is amazing. So cool what you have done with the space.
Thank you very much.
This was a great video! I’ll definitely be purchasing this!
Thank you. I'll be posting an update about my setup soon, but the backdrop is still a regularly-used part.
This was super helpful! I used this extensively when figuring out my own setup! Thanks :D
Glad I could help!
Thank you! Super helpful!
You are welcome. Thank you for the kind words.
VERY helpful! Thank you.
You are welcome! Glad I could help.
Keep it up fam.. this was dope
I appreciate that. Just trying to pass on anything that might help the next creator.
This was so useful! I've been thinking about upgrading to a system that sits on the floor to save space + time as I begin to make more content, and will definitely be watching this a few times as I set up the new roller system. Thanks for this!! Love your content, def subscribing so I can keep up!
Thank you! I must add that I don't care much for how the PVC sags under the weight of the fabric, so I plan to switch to a paper back drop eventually.
@@MoniJohnson Oh good to know! I hope it it'a sturdy enough for paper backdrops, that's what I use! And I just bought the Neewer 6 backdrop roller system to hold my 107" backdrops. Fingers crossed that my ceiling does not fall through! Lol
Yikes! Get a stud finder. Don't risks mounting directly into drywall.
Great video ; thanks bro!
Thank you. Glad I could help.
Nice video!
Thank you very much!
sick. thanks for the video
Glad to help!
This is awesome. Great content
Thank you very much. I'm trying to resolve a couple issues I have with the setup though.
You’re on the right path. I’m in search of starting and bettering my setup also. So great start and no where but up from here.
Good job bruh! You inspired the DIY in me. I'm gonna do something just like this as well. Thanks!
Thank you, sir!
This is very informative
Thank you. I'm glad I could help.
Thank you for posting this one brother. exactly what I need~
You are welcome. Glad to help.
Nice job! I want to create a similar setup for my one car garage which I will convert to a photography studio when my car isn’t in there.
Thank you. Yes, a garage would be a nice space to do something like this.
Thank you for the info!!! looking to buy a single roller wall mounting !
Glad to help. Thank you for watching.
Great Video. I think this is great. I'm just starting with my CZcams channel also and this will help for sure when im talking in front of the camera. Thank you
Thank you and good luck with your channel. We all have something that can help someone else. Btw, I updated the backdrop info in a later video. Check the first 30 seconds of this one: czcams.com/video/KrHFGeLqVms/video.html
Moni Johnson just did awesome
Amazing video and your handsome.
Thank you. Hopefully, it helps someone.
Very good info, wished you took a small time at the end show your backdrop in action, seen some pic's ETC with it.
I am impressed in your detailed on how it comes together.
Thank you. Great advice on showing some results! I'm still learning.
Nicely done. I've ordered the same system and need to wall mount it. Thank you.
BTW, some of your product links are incorrect: both of your PVC links go to the 2" size; your spring clamp link goes to the 3/4 PVC.
Thanks for the heads-up! I correct the links this morning and gave you a credit in the desciption. Btw, I have since switched to a wall mount setup as well. czcams.com/video/bUZAZDXa0L0/video.html
@@MoniJohnson No worries, brother. Thanks for the shout-out. Came back to get your affiliate link to the paper roll, I see you're using a fabric roll. Is it fairly solid (not see-through) or +- transparent? I have 16" deep glass-faced display cabinets on that back wall, have to stick to ceiling-mounted and need solid backdrop to hide the cabinets.
The fabric I got is super-cheap and thin. Unless the wall behind it is also a dark color, I would not recommend the fabric I use.
@@MoniJohnson Good to know, thank you. I have thin black fabric on two stands with a crossbar. Unfortunately my display cases show through, so I need a roll of thick fabric or paper to hang from the new system.
Nice man, Thinking of something similar. Are those Quasars in the back too?
No, sir. Those are 4-foot tube LEDs that cost less than $45 (including shipping) for a set of 6 lights.
Moni Johnson time out. You got 6 for less that 45? Lol what’s the link!!
QUICK QUESTION .... now that you've had your backdrop stand up for a good period of time now.... has the PVC pole started to slump downward in the middle, or is it still straight with no problems?
There was sagging immediately. I actually switched to a wall mount setup with conduit. czcams.com/video/bUZAZDXa0L0/video.html
Was going to ask the same question
2 QUICK QUESTIONS.... 1) What brand backdrop is that, and is it thick enough to not let light easily pass through it?.... 2) The Velcro - You probably used the adhesive-type velcro on the PVC pipe, but how did you get the velcro to stay on the material/backdrop without coming off?
It's a super-cheap fabric I grabbed off eBay. I'm pretty sure it's not a major brand. It's pretty thin. If I had lights behind it (or even non-black walls) I believe you would be able to see through it (to an extent). I wanted something light weight but more durable than paper, so it worked for my needs. With the velcro, once you have a couple/few layers of fabric wrapped around the pvc/pipe the velcro is reenforced under the weight of the fabric, so everything stays in place as long as you don't let down enough fabric to expose the last few layers above the velcro. I hope that explanation makes sense.
@@MoniJohnson Indeed it does!! THANKS BRO!!
@@MoniJohnson last Question!! Lol... What's the measurements of the fabric you got from ebay?
No problem. Ask as many questions as you like, and I'll answer if I can. I believe I got 10'x10'.
Awesome setup! Definitely subscribing. Can you provide links for the components you used? What was the total cost? Thanks!
I'll try to get that information to you this evening. Thank you for subscribing!
Links to all items have been added to the description.
what did you end up using to attach the fabric to the PVC pipe? Thanks!
I originally used velcro so I could remove/replace fabric as needed. I ultimately got a 3-roller setup though, so I simply used some strong, wide tape to attach the fabric. My new fabric is also long enough that I never need to completely unroll it, so there is no risk of the tape coming lose. I may do an updated video about this. Lastly, I changed to 2" conduit because the PVC says under the weight of the fabric.
Like the video, as you know, pvc has one big problem, it eventually sags in the middle if left up all the time. Had that problem as well.. Wish there was a simple solution, other then taking it down. When not in use.
Yes, sir! That's the drawback. I've been thinking on a solution for that as well. If you come up with anything, I'm all ears!
@@MoniJohnson am not sure the length of pvc tube assume its 10 feet.. A steel rod that i have thats 6 feet long and square would fit in 2 inch pvc.. It woild be loose. Then fill it with another long piece of metal till the main rod is jammed in. That would give you support in the middle. Tried aluminium tube, that also bends. Think using steel insert is only option.
Great advice. I'll have a look at Home Depot tomorrow. Thank you.
Update: Have a look at this:

What if instead of pvc you use a metal tube? Would it hold the weight?
Metal works much better. Later I moved the system from the ceiling to the wall and used 2" conduit instead. See these 2 videos:

czcams.com/video/2uwHp7U8hNI/video.html
Man I need some help. I've set up the single roller system twice now, and have come across the same issue.
This one time after a week of no issues I pulled down on the chain and the far side slips out and off the ceiling bracket, resulting in a collapse of the whole system.
This second time ripped out the anchors on the side of the pull chain.
I have a security camera so I was able to watch back and see exactly what happens - all it appears to me is that the aluminum pipe I have taped to the backdrop pops off the bracket on the far side.
Have you ever come across this issue? Know what I'm talking about? Need some help. Thank you.
They recommended aluminum instead of pvc for ceiling mount. How did this hold up for you? Thanks for the video
For my ceiling mount, I use 2" conduit. PVC sags far too much.
Here is the updated version: czcams.com/video/KrHFGeLqVms/video.html
@@MoniJohnson says video not available.
@@cre8tivity06 Crap! I apparently accidentally deleted the newer video.
What’s the diameter of the pipe?
It's 2" PVC but I recommend getting 2" conduit instead. It's much heavier though so it would require more secure mounting.
Damn I was hoping I wouldn't have to make physical changes to the place I stay for this since I'm renting...
Your best bet might be to use a backdrop that sits on floor stands. That's what I was using for mobile shoots.
@@MoniJohnson Yeah it looks that way. It's so disappointing because I was very excited about buying this kind of set up.
@@MoniJohnson I also just looked and saw that some places as long as you fill the holes in upon move out you are fine
