Record slow motion video of the net base unfolding during initial setup

Received my 84 inch pop up screen on January 4th 2019 for indoor movie nights and camping. First, it is very light and portable. There are definitely wrinkles on the screen, but I first tried to remove them with a hair dryer set to medium according to the manufacturer's instructions, but that didn't work. I ended up leaving it for a few days to see if they would come out on their own and no luck. I then used our Bissel floor steamer without the pad and it removed 95% of the creases (the top corners are a bit wavy but I think it's more of a screen tension issue. If the projector you're using flips the image can you can project the image from the back of the screen, it helped get a larger image in a tighter viewing space and where the projector is located there is only a narrow vertical band of brighter light Folding the main canvas is pretty easy with the video instructions. The net base was another beast. Instructions and even the videos make it very easy, but it took a few tries throughout the day to finally put it together correctly. I would recommend to try it indoors because if it's your first time you'll spend most of your camping time doing the right thing It folds into three perfect rings, which are not energized once you put it on. Lay it on the short end and step onto the frame. Then place your hands about 2 feet from the top short side (your hands should be thumbs down, fingers up, and palms up). Twist your wrists so the top edge begins to curve away from you as this will twist the frame. Once the frames were crossed for the first time, I placed the side facing away from me on my bed (the first fold was face down to keep it in place and was to my right). Then he grabbed the left short side and started twisting it counterclockwise (the long side towards you should stay close to the surface). The loop on the right will be the inner circle when completed. Strangely, as soon as the left side started to fold, everything fitted together perfectly and didn't strain at all, and after that it fit into the case very well. The last segment happened so fast I didn't realize it was happening. Here's a video that might help.
