Colorama Paper Brake

The Colorama Paper Brake is a simple but clever attachment compatible with 1.35m, 2.18m and 2.72m wide rolls, which simply slides into the existing 5.4cm diameter cardboard core.

Designed with the professional image maker in mind who has all too often experienced the frustration of when a paper roll ‘free rolls’ on a background support bar and unravels an unwanted amount of paper requiring it to be wound back up manually, often not as neatly as before.

The registered design of these nifty little accessories stop the core from rotating on the crossbar freely and instead allows the paper to be pulled down from floor level in controlled gradual steps. Reducing the need for the user to climb up on a ladder or similar to make adjustments when the background support is raised and preventing the annoying task of having to re-wind the paper after it has unravelled too much.

The Corama Paper Brake is re-usable and can be simply changed from one roll to the other if a different paper is required or when the paper roll is renewed. They are supplied as a pair, one for each end of the roll and at their widest point allow a knuckle of 40mm to pass through and so are compatible with most background support poles.

Features:

  • Gradually controlled steps for pulling down paper
  • Stops the core from rotating on the crossbar freely
  • Simply slides into the existing 5.4cm cardboard core
  • Re-usable, can be simply changed from one roll to the other
  • Supplied in two pieces one for each end of the roll

Eva B. ★★★★★

Finally got tired of wrestling my 2.72m background rolls solo, and this thing makes the swap a two-minute job instead of a full production. It clicks right into the 5.4cm cardboard core and holds firm even when the paper's half unrolled.

Benjamin V. ★★★★★

Slides onto the roll in seconds and holds even the widest 2.72m paper taut without any wobble. It’s exactly what I needed to keep my backdrop from sagging mid-shoot, and the setup took less than a minute.

Natalie F. ★★★★★

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how much a simple plastic bracket could improve my workflow, but this thing fits the 5.4cm core so snugly that tear-off is finally a clean, one-handed pull. Takes the frustration out of swapping backdrops mid-shoot, and it’s held up to heavy use without cracking. Worth every
