Want To Buy: Two Studio Backdrop Support Rods

I am seeking two (2) backdrop support rods. The ones that sit atop the vertical stands to hold a backdrop. I do not need the stands, just the rods that go across the top. They are generally up to 10' long and come in several pieces that fit together. Does anyone have those rods that they do not need? They can be "used" so long as they are still straight, and how much would they be, along with shipping?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Head for the local DIY or electrical supply house and buy some conduit tubing

I thought about that but but I want the fittings that come on the ends of the backdrop rods. Thanks.

This will fit the top of a light stand and clamp a horizontal cross bar. Two of them can join together and clamp both a horizontal and a vertical.

BH has similar clamps, but a bit higher in cost.

Here's the one I bought for $31 shipped and it fits right over the 5/8" spigot on a standard light stand, locks up rock solid with a twist of the wrist from 6'-12'.

I use PVC pipe drilled out to fit the up rights but, like this one from e-bay much better. Might just have to give one of these a try.

Just bought one on eBay. If it works, I'll buy a second one. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

I have one that I haven't used in years. Glad to give it to you, if you pay shipping. But I have no idea what that would be.

Let me wait and see if the one I just bought on eBay works. I will PM you soon. Thanks.
