The leader bar does a great job on holding the paper so rolling up and down is easy. However, to clip on to the background paper is a little hard, if this can be made easier then I would give 5 stars.

Works great. A bit awkward to install because it’s spring loaded but it keeps the paper talked and protects the edge. Now I just need two more

Super handy tool! It keeps the seamless perfectly straight and lined up when it’s pulled all the way out on the floor, and it helps it hang taught when you don’t need it under your subjects feet. You just have to make sure your paper is cut perfectly straight.

Perfect for that bottom edge of the paper. Weighs it down nicely and protects it.

Easy to install and makes the paper hang a lot more smooth.

This easy to install bar is a necessary piece of equipment for any photographer who values his backdrop. It preserves the paper and virtually eliminates the need to be continually trimming the bottom end of the paper due ragged edges caused by continual use. I highly recommend purchasing this Background Leader Bar.

Love these bars! Easy to install, paper stays wrinkle free. Should have go these a long time ago. Well worth the cost.

Much better than the Manfrotto round leader bars. Easy to put on and take off. Just the right amount of weight.

If you own a single seamless of any size.... you NEED leader bars! They just make everything so much easier and clean. Perfect weight!

You might think these are too pricey and not worth the expense, but they are really a must-have accessory. I initially tried using several clamps to weight the end of the rolls, but that was a mess. The leader bars keep the backdrops hanging nice, even, wrinkle-free and easy to deal with. Unfortunately, there is no option for the 86" rolls, but I found the 107" bars could be cut down to size using a non-ferrous saw blade that left a cut clean enough so that the end caps could be re-installed. Definitely worth it!

I love the leader bar! It makes such a difference in keeping our paper backdrops in good shape. It is easy to use and really keeps the paper in shape and easy to work with! I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner!

This has made my life so much easier. I'm just starting off and the bar was the perfect purchase. The additional paper is just what I needed.

Makes switching backdrops so much faster and cleaner, especially when you don't have an assistant and you are trying to work quickly. You know your backdrop or sweep is going to be pulled evenly every time too!

Like it much better than the spring clamps I've used for years to weight the end of the paper. Installation on the 107" is painful by yourself though. I set up multiple shop tables and pulled the paper to lay flat on that. Takes 1/2 hour of fiddling. Highly recommend having a helper or two. Love the results though.

This leader bar is wonderful! It was easy to install, just open clamp, insert paper end, and reclamp. It does take two people because the paper is so wide and has to be aligned properly.
