Portable backdrop recommendations

Hi, Tim.

I have the backdrop stand from Trademe/hshe017 at NZ$260. Sturdy stands, and 2 to 4 crossbar sections. H 1–3m; W 1.8–3.7m, rated 15Kg. I also borrowed the type on Trademe at about $170, rated 6Kg. It's ok, and I used it for a backdrop and the heavier duty support for hanging some quilt subjects.

I bought a black and a white kingsize sheets from Briscoes at $25 each. Not perfect, but a manageable price.

Can't find them on trademe, I think i'll just use walls!

if interested there's always Ebay.
some kits come with a black,white, chroma green,stands and crossbar for $150.

don't know what shipping to you would be though.

I just bought an amvona BGS model as-015 (if u search) but its huge so.......

I already offered to sell the bastard mine with three backdrops for a little less than that but he didn't take me up on it.

Nothin' wrong with walls, tim. Although they tend to be a little less portable, I use them as reflectors on occasion too.

Hehe, I just decided not to get a backdrop, they seem too much of a pain in the ass. Plus I couldn't miss a chance to piss you off eh?

Yeah walls aren't so portable, but they're pretty easy to find most places you go

Yeah yeah. Lucky for you the crap's still in my van at a service station so I couldn't have wasted my time on ya anyway.

No doubt.

It's an Interfit backdrop support (linked earlier in the thread) a white, black, and wine (reddish marrooonish ie mucho classy) muslins. The only one I used is the white one, and that was maybe once or twice.

I also have a partial roll (probably about 80% remaining) of white seamless paper and a damn near full roll (probably about 95% remaining) of black seamless I could let go as well. Both rolls are the 54" wide variety.

If you're interested, I can't get my van back until tomorrow so I won't be able to weigh it all up for shipping until at least then.

^ Interesting... I'll definitely have to think about that, as the last piece of my studio puzzle is the background situation. Thanks!

Yep just let me know. Just FYI, I won't part it out even though I bought it all separately simply because the muslins are useless to me if I don't have the background support. I wouldn't expect you to buy the seamless though since it might be awkward to ship and I can always let my nephews color on it. lol.
