Collapsible Backdrop White Black Self Tape Pop Up Background

One of the best photo purchases I’ve made! Get this, especially if you’re doing formal headshots often! It is a bit tricky to get folded back up, but the instructions help. Stores away neatly. Good strong material!

Cool product! This is a pop-up green/blue fx screen (one color on each side) that is spring-loaded to make the green screen compress into a small circle carrying case when not in use, and instantly flip-out into a wrinkle-free, ~ 5'x4' (of usable space due to oval shape) fx screen solution on the go. The fabric has excellent light-blocking quality, as you can tell by the attached photos comparing it to a traditional green screen fabric that is backlit by a sunny window. The product does not let any of the bright sunlight through, making it suitable for outdoor use at any angle. This could be very handy during run-and-gun productions, and much faster than setting up the poles and rails and sandbags etc, that a traditional greenscreen requires for a quick take of an actors closeup or medium shot. Would not be suitable for wide angle shots (head-to-foot) or big enough for multiple actors (unless it was two people standing close together and you didn't need them to move or walk anywhere.) Appears to be solid and well made, with good stitching, quality fabric, strong spring (careful!) and attention to detail. An excellent value for the money. I look forward to trying it out on shoots!

Force it to fold it.

Good quality, heavier than expected. When open the fabric is pulled tight and wrinkles are minimal. Folding it up was difficult because I haven't had much experience with pop-ups this big. On my first try it got sort of warped out of shape but it worked out ok (based on past experience don't panic or force it so it bends or breaks, just carefully work at folding it up and it will find its shape and be ok when you open it again).

I use this as a green screen for online video meetings so that I can use photos and logos as a virtual background. It works perfectly for that although I found that it does need somewhat uniform lighting on the screen. Some reviewers have indicated they have trouble folding it for storage. I followed the directions as pictured on the Amazon listing and didn't have much trouble. Within about 30 seconds I had it stowed in its zippered storage bag. I'm 6 foot 1 inch tall so I suppose the long reach helps. To make the initial bend/fold, I put one end on the ground about 4 or 5 feet in front of me, held the other end with one hand, and reached out my other hand to push down in the middle of the screen. That allowed me to bend the two opposite ends toward each other until they met. From there it was a piece of cake to do the next two inward folds (left and right sides) to get it to the size needed to fit in the bag. To be determined yet: how many times I can fold this thing up for storage before the spring steel hoop gets a kink in it. I hope that as long as I am careful when folding it the hoop will outlast me.

There is a trick to close it, but so far my husband and I haven’t figured it out! LOL Otherwise it works well! A few wrinkles that bother me a bit, but otherwise it’s easy to prop up against a wall!

Practice the folding of these things before you say it's difficult. These are never easy. I still struggle a little but I think that's due to the size and my short arm-span. This is a good quality backdrop. It is a little wrinkly at first, but that smooths out over time and use. I like the added loops around the edge to aid in hanging or securing. Plus, every head shot photographer needs a solid black and white background in their arsenal. I would recommend this one, especially considering the price point!

Love it so much! Great for pictures in my salon! Super easy to fold up going to be great when traveling for weddings!

Utilisé quelques fois. Le matériel utilisé pour le fond blanc et noir est très bien et froisse très peu. Malheureusement, le cadre métalique lui s'est rapidement déformé, un peu comme une chips ondulée genre "Pringles", ce qui en rend maintenant l'utilisation difficile.
