Expanding from 99" to 187" / 252cm to 475cm, the Matthews Maxi Matthpole is the longest of the three Matthpoles.
Matthews Matthpole is stronger and more durable than any similar product. Unique "expanding casting" provides the pressure for holding the Matthpole in place. Used primarily in studios for mounting seamless paper and backdrops with the use of Super Mafer Clamps and Swivel U-Hooks; the Matthpole has also been used in a horizontal position behind the President of the United States to support small lighting fixtures, in campaign venues for many candidates, and probably in many places we don't even know about.
Note: Because tubing can sag over long lengths and when weight is added, the Matthpole may become loose and could come down. Matthews therefore recommendeds that vertical Matthpoles with two Super Mafer Clamps mounted at right angles with a #209635 Swivel Snap-In at each end be used to support the horizontal Matthpole. To avoid damage to the wall or ceiling, Matthpoles should only be used directly in line with studs.
