The Ceiling Rail System is the innovative solution for studio photographers. The
pantographs allow a stepless extension, so also on the floor standing, smaller objects can
be photographed without problems. The 5/8 inch spigots are suitable for all common studio
lights and studio flashes. There is no Fixing material included. The ceiling on which you
attach the system must be very stable. The Walimex pro pantograph (item no. 16429) is only
suitable for use on the Walimex pro ceiling rail system.
The Walimex pro Ceiling Rail System has the following main features:
— Easier work in the photo studio
