Category: Studio Equipment Backgrounds

There's nothing more infuriating in a studio than setting up a shoot with a brand new background roll of paper only to pull it down to use for it then to cascade out of control.

That's why this inexpensive accessory from Colorama is so recommended as it gradually and gently lets you pull down your paper in controlled steps. It stops the core from rotating on the crossbar freely.

It slides into the existing 5.4cm cardboard core of any paper background (although designed by Colorama) and once purchased is fully re-usable by changing from one roll to another.

It is supplied as a pair with one piece going into each end of the roll.


It is compatible with all 1.35m, 2.18m and 2.72m wide paper backgroiund rolls,

Matthew ★★★★★

These clamps grabbed the paper roll tight on the first try, and the grip is strong enough to hold even a heavy backdrop. The simple twist-lock design makes them so much easier to use than the tape I used to rely on. This small studio tool has cut down my setup time noticeably.

Richard ★★★★★

Finally, no more wrestling with runaway paper rolls mid-shoot. These two brakes clamp on firmly and hold the roll exactly where you set it, even when I'm tugging to smooth out a fresh sheet. Worth every penny for the time it saves me.

Harper R. ★★★★★

I've been using these paper brakes for a week now and the grip adjustment knob is solid enough to hold even my heaviest rolls in place. The install took maybe 30 seconds, and no more runaway paper ruining a setup mid-shoot. They're simple but they just work, which is exactly what I needed.
