So my company finally moved me into a room about 15 feet by 25 feet to be my studio. I am looking for something to use for a decent back drop stand but probably has to be cheap. We bought an $80 12 foot wide back drop support stand but the screws kept popping out and we need to replace it. We will also want the paper white/black/green back drops so if there is a cheaper kit with all that we would be interested. Not sure if we need it to hold all 3 backdrops because we will have time to switch them out whenever needed. I dont know if i prefer a backdrop mounted to the wall or one on stands. I found so many options on amazon and dont want to buy another one that will break right away so I'm hoping for some help buying a lasting backdrop stand and rolls of paper. Thanks!
 
Manfrotto make the screw to the wall chaing system for 3 Bgrounds?

Stands would seem to waste space unless you have reason to remove/put the BG in other places?

You will need skills to solidly attach to the wall of course.. and dont drill into some live cabling in the wall cavity!

thanks, i normally put my rim light behind the backdrop but i guess i have the space now to keep it in front and to the side
 
You can always get yourself some wall/ceiling mounted baby plates and mount your rim/hair light to that. Cable management can be an issue depending on the ceiling. I've had decent success using a super-clamp with a spud coming out of it as well.
