Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this translucent? IOW, can I light it from behind instead of from the front?

A: This Impact Collapsible Background is mostly opaque.

Q: 2. Can we use this as bounce as well?

A: I suppose you could, but just note that the white fabric is quite dull, it doesn't have the same sort of sheen that a traditional reflector has.

Q: 3. How do you fold the screen to the smaller size carry bag? The link in the manual is dead. The product video does not show it.

A: To fold the Impact Collapsible Background (Chroma Green, 8 x 10') hold opposite edges of the backdrop keeping it vertical in front of you. Then pull the frame in an upward motion making a taco like shape. Simultaneously twist one edge down and towards the center while pulling the opposite edge up and inward. At this point the frame will bend into a figure-eight shape. Continue twisting and gently lay the two overlapping circles onto each other.

Q: 4. How do you clean it?

A: I never cleaned it because it's collapsible & after using it, I always fold on Black side front & white inside, put it back in it's bag (including with it). Thanks for asking.

Q: 5. For the pure white (non-reversible) is it translucent enough to place a flash behind it to get a really white background?

A: Yes, in order to achieve a solid white color, you would need to place two lights in front of the background and make them at least 2 stops brighter than the light on the subject.

Q: 6. Has anyone found a smart way to fly with this?? I've checked it with just the bag it comes in but it's getting a little beat up so I'd love a padded sleeve at least. Asking for a friend.

A: If you're looking to add an extra layer of protection within the case, I would personally recommend a heavy duty (flattened) cardboard box or corrugated shipping pads, which can be found at any office supply store. It won't add significant weight and can help shield the backdrop in the case.

Q: 7. Are there any hooks or straps on the background to use to attach to a (horizontal) pole, like the kind you would use between two stands?

A: There are straps on all sides and a loop at the top. You can hang easily hang it vertically or horizontally. The trick is learning how to fold it up. I found a video on YouTube that shows how to do it and with 2 or 3 practices it is easy to fold up. It is nice addition to a portable studio set up.

Q: 8. What is the actual size of this when it is folded?

A: When folded it has an approximate 27" diameter.

Q: 9. Which background is more useful for corporate headshot - white/grey or black/grey?

A: Color choice is entirely a matter of style, what lighting you use and camera settings. I use a grey only background. Between the camera and light settings I can go from pure white to solid black and with a gel I can get any color I need.

Q: 10. Will these work with a magnetic holder?

A: Yes. The following unit will adapt juts fine to a Y-bracket.
