Default Background stands online?
Looking for a cheap background stand that I can purchase online that will ship to Canada. I have googled it and I have searched it but I have found nothing! Nothing worth the effort anyway.

Can you guys give me some suggestions? Not looking for pro quality.

Thanks in advance!

What exactly is it you're looking for? B&H, Adorama, and Midwest Photo Exchange, all ship to Canada and carry inexpensive background stands. 12' rolls of paper can be difficult to ship, but the stand shouldn't be an issue.

1/2" PVC pipe and some fittings work well for the DIY stand and you can modify it how ever you want.

The PVC idea is a great one. I wish I had thought of it before buying the stands I have. A little spray paint and the PVC setup would look great. How did you configure the base?

Thanks for the replys.

I was hoping to get one by tommorrow but I started looking a bit late. My husband tried to configure one out of pvc and lets just say the pvc won. So I'm off this morning to get one from the local camera shop. Promaster SystemPRO Background Stand Set should be great

Have to pay more than what I wanted but hopefully I will enjoy it that much more.

Do you have a Henry's in your area. They are a well known shop all across Ontario, I think almost 100 years old...

No I'm not. I got the promaster one. I don't really like that the legs don't level very well but that may be a common thing with stands or I'm not using them right...
