This color backdrop is truly wrinkle resistant when stretched taut, allowing for a smooth, sweeping, and seamless appearance. The background is suitable for shooting product photos and full-body portraits in studio as well as weddings and event photography.

This wrinkle-resistant backdrop is easy to use, machine washable, and reflection-free. Made from 100% polyester, it can be folded for transport to your next shooting location. The included fabric bag matches the backdrop color for easy identification.

The background includes a pole pocket for mounting with an X-Drop Backdrop Support System which extends up to 10' tall and has an adjustable width. The backdrop also has built-in metal grommets for wall mounting.

The solid color backdrop is easy to light and gel to yield appearances including high-key lighting with vibrant patterns. Create low-key lighting that mutes the background for a softer, barely-there effect, or a darker, moodier background.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How this as a camera mounted mic on a Sony Fx9 for run and gun doc work.

A: Remove the included pistol grip shock mount and use the camera's microphone holder.

Q: 2. Is there a loop on the long side of the backdrop, or only on the short side?

A: There is only a loop on the short side of the Angler Wrinkle-Resistant Fleece Background.

Q: 3. Can this be used with the rode wireless go to create a wireless booming solution?

A: No. This microphone requires 48v phantom power, which the Wireless Go does not supply. You will want to use something like the RodeLink system, which does provide phantom power: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1187383-REG/rode_news_shooter_newsshooter_kit_digital_wireless.html

Q: 4. Is this a improvement to the NTG-4 or NTG-3?

A: At this point in time it would be difficult to tell. The NTG 5 does not arrive till Mid Nov 2019.

Q: 5. This question is directed to B&H staff - you must have heard about the RF interference problem with this mic? There is a YT video about it. I want to purchase but am wondering if Rode has solved the problem or it's just a small number of mics? No one has stated if it's a part problem/xlr cable problem/shielding problem, etc. Anyone know the details?

A: We have not heard of any customers experiencing problems with RF when using the NTG5. We reached out to Rode as well for more information and to find out whether they were aware of any issues with the NTG5 regarding RF or if they had seen the video you mentioned, which none of us were able to find. Rode has not had any reported problems with the NTG5 and if you have in fact purchased the NTG5 and are experiencing problems with RF, they do want to know about it and would like for you to contact them directly for assistance. Or the mic was purchased from B&H, please do let us know about it. It is certainly possible that a bad cable or a damaged input or circuitry on a camera, recorder or mixer can be the source of RF problems, but there should not be any issues that are created by the mic itself.

Q: 6. how can connect and attach the NTG5 to my camera and record directly on my camera?

A: If using a camera with XLR mic inputs that have phantom power, then all you need to do is plug the mic in via an XLR cable. If using a dslr with a 3.5mm input, then you would need an additional external mixer/ recorder to give you XLR mic inputs with phantom power. You would then plug the mic into this recorder and output a mini jack to the camera. Here's an example: B&H # TADR60DMKII.

Q: 7. Are the dimensions listed in the specs internal or external?

A: The listed dimensions are external. The internal dimensions are Roughly 5.25" x 3.25" x 1".

Q: 8. what size paper should i buy for this setup?

A: The width of the rig is adjustable, so you can use either of the standard size Savage papers (both 53 inch and 107 inch will work). Obviously if you've got the space to handle the larger paper, that gives you more options when shooting.

Q: 9. Is the white backdrop good for saturated background colors with Gel photography?

A: Yes, you could apply gels for saturated color to this Angler Wrinkle-Resistant Fleece Background.

Q: 10. Is the video quality high enough to be able to read a license plate?

A: Yes, the RIPOON Q101 Front Light Bicycle Dash Cam (Black), B&H # RIQ101B, has high enough video quality to be able to read a license plate but I would keep in mind that this highly depends on the ambient light conditions and other factors, it might not always be possible to read a license plate completely in every scenario.

[1x Bag] This backdrop is fantastic. You can pull it out of the bag and it is ready to use. No steaming or other prep necessary. Highly recommend. 5

[Yes] I purchased this background in white several years ago and just purchased gray. Like other Westcott products that I own, these are well made. The quality of fabric is nice and I find that the backdrop really is wrinkle resistant when pulled taut and clamped. I usually use a little Downy Wrinkle release spray too, once the backdrop has been hung, which helps illuminate any small wrinkles. I've washed my white backdrop several times and it washes up well. The gray is lighter than pictured but not dramatically. I would call it medium gray. 5

[1] Heavy duty screen fabric. Some initial packaging wrinkles, but they fell out easily. Great product for the money and miles above the cheaper options. 5

Charles	28/07/2024
[Yes] The color is not as vibrant or saturated as my other green screen options. However, there is less reflected light or spill around the edges of the foreground objects. 5

[Solid Purple] I already had Wescott frames for green screening. I purchased the blue for my collection. Assembly is quick, the quality is very good. 5

Travis	26/06/2024
[1] The size is great, the material is great, it absorbs light, it isn't too bad on color cast for nearby subjects if they are not too close and it doesn't mark up when people stand on it. The wrinkle resistant part is a little suspect, but it works great. I throw it in the dryer for a few minutes to release wrinkles from storage. 5

[1x Bag] This is my second Westcott chromakey backdrop. I use these for youth sports photography. This is a production operation with as many as 100 portraits at a time, and we have to have a background that not only delivers consistant, clean color but also can withstand being transported and set up daily. Westcott delivers on both counts. It's heavy enough that it will block out lights (and even an open door to daylight) from behind, and sturdy enough to keep up with daily wear and tear. My only complaint is that at 9'x10', it's a little small for the larger kids (especially HS basketball players). My other backdrops are 10'x12', and that extra foot or two makes a difference.Overall though, this backdrop is well worth the money. 5

[Polyester] I was really happy to find this. Perfect size for hanging on a cross bar. Started using it before I even washed it, I expect to like it even more minus the slight wrinkles from being packed and shipped. 5

Glynns	03/04/2024
[Yes] I usually take a 103" paper roll on location for groups. What a pain, it requires two trips from the car, and I ruined one roll. I have been using the Wescott X-drop for headshots and like that fabric so when I saw that you can get a large backdrop in the same fabric I bought it. Used it on a recent shoot. With stretch clamps it was wrinkle free using my backdrop stand. Images came out great. Now I wonder if I could use two xdrop backdrop stands I can condense my on location kit even further?! 5

[Polyester] The problem with Green and Blue screens is usually not wrinkles at all. It is shine and light spill from the screen fabric to your product or persons. The material on this is more light absorbing and light deadening pretty much eliminating the lighting feedback or spill completely. A lot of people think that putting more and more light on the screen solves the problems when in reality it compounds the problem. With the Wescott you only need a kiss of light to do the job and to do the job well. The material they use is much closer to a felt rather than a bargain cloth which usually has a built in sheen to it. And that sheen becomes your problem. The Wescott is more like a microfiber cloth that deadens the light that bounces back. The bigger surprise is you can take it right out of the included travel bag all crumpled up, put it in the drier at lowest heat setting for 10 minutes and the wrinkles are 90 percent GONE!! Unless you are using this and throwing them away, I would recommend this far and above over the other screens made with plain fabrics. Thumbs up! Peter 5
