I have used this same setup for over 25 years and it beats the hell out of hanging a frame from a chain or cable because the frame remains static during the process and cannot spin or drift in the air.

You could do the same thing with any vertical tubing though, even if it was supported by a patio umbrella stand. I would avoid a free-hanging setup if at all possible in favor of a stand that keeps the frame static while you are spraying it.
