Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Have the background open and mounted for about a month now. Not only are wrinkles still present but there are pockets here and there and they do show on video. Steaming from what I read here takes care of the wrinkles. What fix does the manufacturer suggest to get rid of the pockets? Is there for example a technique for pulling the fabric around the rim? Can someone please describe the steps to take? Thanks.

A: Aside from steaming the wrinkles out, it is best to make sure that the wire frame within the background is not kinked in any way, which could be the cause of the pockets you're referring to. If using the white side, you can always light the background completely, which will essentially hide any imperfections on it.

Q: 2. How much does the background material wrinkle when stored for several weeks?

A: You may experience wrinkling more towards the center of the background as opposed to the sides. Any wrinkles that may occur can easily be removed with a hand held steamer.

Q: 3. What is the minimum height the stand will support the pop-up background when mounted horizontally?I need something that can adjust down to about 36 horizontally.

A: The stand can easily be below 36 inches as I carry it in a 35 inch hard case and can be set up to be about 36 to 37 inches. HOWEVER, your popup is 5 feet by 6 1/2 feet. So even with the stand low, the pop will be too tall by over 2 feet when place in the landscape (horizontally) position. I'm not sure of your end use, but as you described your need, stand yes, but the popup no.

Q: 4. This product advertises a reversible Blue/Gray screen, I'm searching for a green screen, can I get the same result with either color?

A: No, only with the blue side. The grey is not for chroma key, just standard shooting.

Q: 5. How wrinkled is the background right out of the box? Does it need to be steamed before use?

A: The cloth background has the potential to wrinkle but the metal band helps pull it out. In most cases you do not need to steam it.

Q: 6. At 3.3 pounds, how sturdy is the stand, really?

A: The stand is suitable for holding up the background in the kit. It is not suitable for a large light.

Q: 8. What color is the back of the Gray one?

A: The Studio Essentials Pop-Up Background Kit (5 x 6.5', Gray) would be gray on both sides; the front is the patterned mottled gray seen in the image, and the back would have a flat, neutral gray color.

Q: 9. What is the diameter of this when folded up and placed back in it's case?

Q: 10. I need this for taking family portraits at church for our church directory. How many adult size people can you easily fit on this background without having to be no farther than about 12 ft from your subjects for zooming in to contain everything? Thank you!

A: 2-3 people max, if you hang it horizontally and are only shooting head and shoulders, maybe 4 people.
