light is great! The background is useless!

Softbox Backlight is great! They are lightweight and easy to set up. I have used them indoors and outdoors for photography and videography. However, the backgrounds are completely useless. They do NOT have a bag to hang on a stand. They come folded in a plastic bag which would be nice except you can't iron out the creases. I was most interested in the green background for my daughter's selfie from her audition, but when I pulled it out to use I realized it wasn't just thick material - it was COLORED. I tried smoothing out the creases (not the creases) with a cold iron but couldn't smooth them out so I increased the heat a bit - and the paint started peeling off my iron! I went ahead and hung it (draped over the backdrop as there was no hanger pocket) hoping the creases could "dangle" at the end. no no Not at all. It sat in a heap in the back of a closet for months, and when I finally stuffed it in a garbage bag, those painted creases were still there. very cheap and flimsy feeling. In the end I glued the sheet to the wall.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
