Mounting Kit Aluminium Walimex 16336

The Mounting Kit Aluminium Walimex 16336 includes a telescoping crossbar that extends from 224 cm to 400 cm and is constructed from lightweight aluminium for durable, portable use. The crossbar is compatible with any 5/8-inch spigot, such as lamp tripods or super clamps, allowing for flexible mounting options in studio and location setups.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a balance of strength and low weight, making the crossbar easy to handle and transport. Its wide extension range (224–400 cm) provides greater span than many pluggable systems, enabling larger background coverage. Compatibility with standard 5/8-inch spigots and common studio hardware increases versatility and simplifies integration into existing rigs.

Suitable for

• Mounting seamless paper or fabric backgrounds
• Hanging curtains or backdrop systems in photo and video studios
• Temporary on-location background setups using tripods or clamps
• Supporting lightweight studio accessories that use a 5/8-inch spigot

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Extendable length: 224 cm to 400 cm
• Spigot compatibility: 5/8-inch (standard studio spigot)
• Designed for mounting on tripods, clamps and similar supports

How to use

Mount the crossbar onto a compatible 5/8-inch spigot on a tripod, super clamp, or other support. Adjust the telescoping sections to the required length between 224 cm and 400 cm and secure the locking mechanisms according to the kit instructions. Attach backgrounds or other accessories along the bar and verify that the supporting stands or clamps are stable and positioned to safely bear the load.

Usage recommendations

For stable and safe setups, use two supports at each end of the extended crossbar and avoid exceeding the load capacity of your tripods or clamps. Combine the crossbar with autopoles or purpose-built background stands for repetitive studio workflows.
