Matthews Hi-Hi Overhead Roller Stand: Professional High-Rise Roller Stand for Film, Studio, and Event Production
The Matthews Hi-Hi Overhead Roller Stand is a professional-grade ultra-tall roller stand built for flying butterflies, overheads, and large backdrops in film, television, studio, and live event applications. Extending from 7 feet minimum to 20.8 feet maximum working height, it covers overhead positions that standard stands simply cannot reach while remaining mobile on all-axis locking casters for fast repositioning on set or stage.
High-Reach Overhead Capability
At 20.8 feet maximum working height with an 88 lb. load capacity, the Hi-Hi handles the demands of large overhead diffusion frames, flags, and backdrops without requiring a dedicated rigging crew. The Rocky Mountain Leveling Leg keeps the stand stable on uneven surfaces, and square foot castings on the base allow upright storage when collapsed, saving floor space in tight studio and venue environments.
Versatile Mounting Options
The stand features a 1-1/8-inch receiver and 4.5-inch grip head at the top for compatibility with standard grip equipment, with an optional Baby Pipe Hanger attachment for additional rigging configurations. At 43 lbs. with a 7-foot closed length, it is manageable for a two-person setup and breaks down to a practical size for transport.
