Bought for a professional photo shoot

Bought for a professional photo shoot and was very pleased. The material is excellent, the grommets are strong and overall light enough to be moved easily. I steamed it well before using it for the first time and it flattened out well and didn't seem to wrinkle in transit. Easy to assemble and disassemble. collect. Necessary!

Pros
  • Looks great
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Extremely lightweight solution for transferable backgrounds

Ideal for most portraits that require a transferrable background. Although it's slightly higher than the ground, it offers a great portable solution for white backgrounds. I've used it for full height and up to four people (seated and standing). However, the maximum total length is 2 people. It's lightweight and durable enough for most sessions. Creases easily fade away in the shot, and whites are clean enough not to appear gray in most shots.

That's what I thought

This is a reliable portable background system. I bought it in white and used it for a couple of single and dual head shots. Can be disassembled into small parts and quickly reassembled. As others have pointed out, the back of the stand extends a few feet, but if you consider that beforehand, it doesn't really matter. All the parts seem pretty cheap but I get my money back for this one and then some from a shoot so it's solid for the price. The carry case is basic but gets the job done. The…

Decent product at a fair price but not for me.

The back leg extends quite far so it can't be placed very close to the wall. This may surprise some (it was for me) as it is not obvious in the photos. The white background is basically a thin flannel blanket, it's very wrinkled and the texture is visible in the images unless you shoot at full aperture. Maybe putting it in the dryer with a wet towel will solve the problem, but I returned the item so I didn't try it. The thinness of the (white) background is a problem when there is light coming…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price

With a little thought things could be a lot better

I have been using this type of backdrop for many years. One side looks like a flannel sheet while the other side has a smoother texture. I don't care which side you use, it just has to be tight. The key to a beautiful background that doesn't need adjusting is stretching on all four sides. The only problem is that the material stretches over time. The actual position is ridiculous! It is light but the quality is very poor. I would have gladly paid a little more and added a few pounds to the…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Something is wrong

If it looks and feels cheap then it probably is cheap

I bought this as a quick and easy high school photo gadget as many schools in my area don't allow creative/artistic lifestyle portraits for Admit seniors yearbook. I thought it would be easy to set up and give me room to work since I mostly shoot my clients at home. My first impression when I opened the box and started unpacking was of my arms and legs. They are made from very thin and light aluminium, which will most likely bend and become unusable with the slightest rough treatment. The lower

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Might hurt
