Default Need to setup Multi-Backdrop onto my Background support..Can you help?

I have Impact Background Support System - 12' Wide 3046 B&H Photo Video

And I got no clue on what type of accessories I need to buy that would be compatible with my current support system.

I'm assuming its in one of these categories.
- Background & Background Support Accessories

or

- Autopoles

The need for this for me is extremely important because its extremely annoying changing backdrops and risky because they tend or fall and rip as I'm alone when I switching the backdrops.

A stand system like that will generally only allow one roll at a time...putting on a multi roll bracket makes it real heavy and tend to tip over. You can weight it down but why not wall mount your backgrounds if you want to easily change them out...

You could add another cross support but your stand system is designed for the cross bar to go on top of a thread stud - to add one lower besides another crossbar you would probably need a couple of superclamps and some rigging...

Thanks Bruce for the advice! I will look into the wall mount, do you think there is a video on how to assemble it? I am a total newbie to hammering and nailing stuff unfortunately.

i haven't really looked for any videos...its pretty straight forward & I would think it would come with some recommended mounting instructions- bolt to studs, distance apart will be a function of your backgrounds but probably 9' or 12' wide plus 1-2 " for a little play.
