Has anyone worked with wall breaker kit here?

We want to have some kinos over some products and it's
9 meters between the walls. But we have never worked with it..

Need som advice.
 
Do you mean a wall spreader? I've never seen one of those used by itself to span a set that wide, and I don't think it's really possible. You would need to basically build a whole grid in order to prevent the pipe from bowing downward under the weight of the lights, and possibly collapsing due to the loss of pressure / friction with the walls. Sounds like it's just some tabletop stuff, you don't need to see a 360° view of the whole room do you? A goal post comes to mind if you need multiple lights.

We actually need so see 360 degrees of the room...
 
If possible, mount a baby plate to the ceiling. You'd have a couple screw holes to fill, but if you use a ceiling joist, you could just about hang a cameraman from it.
 
^This is exactly what I would do in that case. I would make it at least a 6" plate, preferably longer. It will give you some more flexibility for placement of your lights. If you really have to build a wall spreader, you'd better hire a competent rigging grip. They can cause some serious damage if not set up properly, not the kind of thing I'd give detailed advice about on a message board even if I did know exactly how to go about making one work that's so long.
 
A 9 meter wide room - is it a finished ceiling, or are there trusses or even sprinkler pipes? If it's just flat, you're probably looking at nail plates here & there.

If it's a suspended (acoustic tile) ceiling, x-clamps can work but you want pretty lightweight fixtures on them.
