Backdrop/Support stand recs?

BME

I do on location portraits for children and am interested in purchasing a backdrop. I am looking for something small, very portable, and not too expensive.

This is what I am leaning towards, but I am wondering if anyone has any recomendations or tips.

I'm very happy with it. Decent quality air-cushioned stands with adjustable hardware (prevents the problem jlw mentioned). You can set it up with three widths, which I've found to be very helpful.

Simple setup and baggage. Get some sandbags and paper and you are ready to go.

To be honest, I didn't buy it from Adorama, but from my local pro shop (they actually had a better out-the-door price). I was primarily using the Adorama page to use their product shot.

The times I have used Adorama, I have not had any trouble with them, never got one of those upsell calls.
