A couple years ago at SMF the 501st was able to make user of some studio equipment that was on load to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tk7602 It was a drive chain system for the backdrops, which were bought on ebay by the person loaning them out. I'd like to be able to have 2 rolls of paper on the background supports so I don't have to keep taking them down when I switch colors. I've seen wall mounted drive systems on ebay but I can't just go putting holes in the wall (windows in the way etc...), so I am interested in getting the clamp ones that hook up to my backdrop system, but they are a bitch to find all the little pieces for. Tonight I figured out who the manufacture is of some of the parts and their respective model numbers. This is a reminder as to what they are, so when I decide to get them, I can.
2915 Super Clamp by Manfrotto. is the clamping device. (these buggers are $30 each before shipping.)
The actual chain drives and hooks are Bogen
Now there's this little plastic stud thing (that I could probably duplicate with a block of wood and a couple screws, or sometime inventive like that) that I am not sure what to call it.
BH Photo carries 1/2 of what I am looking for in a kit.

It just doesn't include the drive chains, they sell those for $51 each!!!
Or I could just buy them from ebay

It'd come with 2 more sets of rails, but I could save those for extra, or sell them back on ebay.
Looking at prices individually it's expensive. I don't need them now, but it's nice to have a place to go to remember what the hell it is I am looking for if I do decide to get them in the future.
Need to go to bed earlier them 4am
