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.

Q: 6. Honestly, I know nothing about this stuff...if I bought this could I (to save money) basically pin it to my wall & just crop out the edges? I have started to create videos for youtube and for webinars and need a more professional looking background than my wall.

A: I have thought about doing the same thing because I shoot everything in one location. It would keep the backdrop perfectly straight if you hung it well. I would try it temporarily to make sure the color of the wall does not effect the shading of the cloth (color bleed through). If it does your software may have a more difficult time removing the green completely. The lighting could also cause a distortion if too much was to pass through the fabric. All that being said, I think every situation could be different. Just have to try it and see.
