Built in our own studios, for our own studios.
Backdrop Lift is not a product we imagined at a desk. It is the equipment we built because our own studios needed it.
The studios came first
We have run the Digifoto photo studios in Prague since 2009. Backdrop lifts have been working in them for over ten years, through thousands of studio rentals and hundreds of backdrop changes on every single lift.
Why it exists
Daily operation taught us something spec sheets never mention: a lot of photographers do not want to climb a stepladder — and often cannot. A roll of backdrop is hard to carry in one hand while holding on with the other. So the backdrop change becomes the slow, uncomfortable part of the job.
Still improving
We replaced cables with straps, adapted the hook shape for the crossbar spindles and tuned the end-stops — every change came from a note on the studio floor. The original units are still running here; the ones we sell today are their improved version.
Who makes it
Backdrop Lift is manufactured and sold by Papyrus Ltd., Czech Republic (European Union). Questions go straight to the team that built it: orders@backdroplift.com.
