Holdon Midi

Good news for techs everywhere - The days of scraping together bits of old timber to "fix" the cyc or backdrop are over. The fantastically strong and versatile Holdon™ Midi means instant fixing points wherever and whenever you want them without any tools!

Holdons are a clip-on eyelet made from glass-fibre reinforced nylon. With a median load capacity of 100kgs, Holdons are extremely strong and durable. They are completely reusable, and can be relocated in seconds. Use as many or as little as you need to get your cyc the flattest it's ever been!

Median Loading Explanation:
Median loading capacity is determined by a series of separate static loadings applied to a single Holdon installed on a 680/700 gms/sq.mtr. vinyl fabric (without hem). The median loading capacity represent the approximate safe working load that can be applied to the Holdon, and in general terms determines the safe load bearing capacity of the bridge within the sleeve component.

IMPORTANT: The median loading capacity does not represent the efficiency or holding/gripping power or efficiency of the Holdon - those elements of performance are determined by both the correct application of the Holdon and by the physical characteristics of the fabric/substrate onto which the Holdon is being applied.

Safety:
The manufacturers and/or its distributors/agents make no claim whatsoever as to the holding/gripping efficiency or suitability of the Holdon clip and that the use of the product is the sole responsibility of the user(s).
