I got this just to sort of check it out. The price can't be beat. Very easy to fold up and easy to use. I used it to do some pet shots and it will be easy to use for portrait shots.

I had to fly to Florida to interview a client for a PR video, and at the end of the video he walks in front of a green screen so we could knock it out in post. This screen popped up easily, the fabric stayed taunt, and I just hung it from a C-stand. A+++

This is practically a perfect chroma key background. Although it doesn't cover the feet, it looks professional sleek and it's actually easy to fold it as in 2 tries, one is capable to do ot.

Everything was perfect.[...]The quality of the product, 100% new and solid...But, as I heard, the material gets wrinkles as it gets older... hope it doesnt happen in this.... but anyway, i still like it.... thank you for the great product :)

Great for a quick head and shoulders interview, this is durable and fairly sturdy for a collapsible screen, those columbians do great work.

To make tv shows, move the key to other places to film

It's a quick and easy setup, but the colors are not nearly saturated enough for a solid key in AE. The material is reflective and is tough to light without getting crazy hotspots. I stick with neon muslin. Sure, it takes longer to stretch, but it looks WAY BETTER in the end. And that's the reason we create in the first place- aye?!

Bottom line- I spent about 10X as long in AE attempting to make a good key and I kept losing the lady's neck. Ugghhh.

I purchased this on the day of my shoot and am very please! I hadn't used a green/blue screen in years and was very impressed at how easily this collapsible background was to set up and take down (watch the BH video for help in collapsing the background--it'll save you much angst). It's a great price and a great product. Just make sure, as with any chroma screen, to have some distance between your subject and the background.

After reading all the positive reviews, I figured this would be a stellar purchase. I have spent the last two hours trying to key out my subject with no satisfactory results. People seem pretty happy about this, but I am very dissapointed. The green is too desaturated. Stick with the muslin and backdrop stands!

This product meets expectations. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it only has a single handle on one of the taller end. It would be nice if it also had at a couple of handles on one of the shorter ends, in case one wants to hang it wider than taller--for a large pet or a small group portrait. It is also quite challenging to close it. I wonder why they don't include an instruction manual showing which way one needs to start the collapsing. Once it starts the right way, it pretty much collapses on its own but boy there are an infinite number of position in which to start. I closed it but no idea how... so the next time I open, it will be a guessing game again!

Amateur green screen user. The size and ease of portability makes it great for on site use. Trying to collapse it is always a hassle.

Have been using the product for shots requiring chroma key on location. Its great. Fabric is a decent quality and folds are not to apparent.Folding can be tricky at first but easy after a few tries.

As other reviewers have stated, it does not lay flat. I did not find this to be a problem (yet?)

It was easy to remove and replace the background within CS5. Result were much improved from when I tried to do a similar project last year.

Lowest priced chroma-key on the market. Compacts to 30" disk. Built-in wire frame keeps fabric taut. Only suggestion would be more fabric loops on frame for attaching to stands or cross-beam.

I'm very happy with the drop. It's big enough for head shots and most medium shots and stores easily. Highly recommended.

My first was stolen on a shoot and I liked it enough to buy another. I guess that means that the thief gives it a thumbs up too. ;)

This item is perfect for on the go setup and works wonders for your video production. Wish it had horizontal loops but you can adapt to that easily if you are creative. Don't have a lot of space, this is just what you need.

I just bought this product recently. Little surprise was to get something that was[*] :)Hey, why not!?I used it indoors for testing purposes and outdoors for shooting photo for feature-film poster!Colors are good... It could be of little more density (I think of material), cause if you have anything really white/bright behind it, you'll have to out-light it from the front... (Not that it is "see-through", until you point it towards brighter or sunny side...And it is big surface, tied tight to its collapsible frame - which makes in not really even!!! From being folded, it (even after a week I've been keepin' in it "open" in my room), it still tends to go to "NUMBER 8" - like your bike's broken front wheel... If you know what I mean... That is the worst pain in the neck when trying to light it very accurately, cause when you stand on, let's say, right side of it, lower part tends to go forward (towards camera), while upper part goes bit backwards - it's not even... You simply don't have a real even surface in front of you...Hope you don't need it from edge to edge, cause already one feet from edge these problems disappear. And the only thing that would (very easily to produce) solve this problem is (what many other manufacturers of this kind of equipment have) - LACES or STRIPS all along frame's sides... So that you can tie it to the stand or whatever, every feet (at least), and therewith it would get both stability and even surface...We didn't have any wind on that day of Exterior shoot, so I can't tell how does it behave in such conditions...Green colour seems somehow better or firmware than blue - but that is purely subjective judgement...And, at the and --- yeah, many of you will say that it was meant to be kept in hands of assistant, but I don't agree... It is too heavy and has a mind of it's own, to just hang it on one point hook...So - I used my other, 21x9 feet Manfrotto's blue screen's STANDS and couple of universal clamps and single clamps and fought it somehow...If it just had those 6-8 strips around its collapsible frame, none of this text above would be ever have to be thought of, and even less written...[...]Ohhhh - and although I own reflectors, cubicles and other collapsible things, this is the only one I never succeeded to fold into its original size /ergo/ to pack it in original bag (Of course I tried all YouTube tutorials on collapsing those things, even B&H's one - which shows good technique, but my Background never gets that small as it was when it came originally packed:) IT GREW up FAST:)Nice thing is that the company threw in the gift, nice 5'x6' White Muslin (with sewed in hole for stand-barrel, bar, tube or however you call that horizontal thing between two vertical stands that things hang on???), whit its own bag (very thin polyester cover - but I call it a bag anyway - it has a patent to close it, has a handle and you pack it in and carry it around - protected!!!)..[...]

I had an on-location green screen shoot and my studio green screen is too big to carry around. This portable green screen was just big enough for the job and small enough to carry around. My only problem is it's so hard to fold it back. We watched the video that shows how to fold it but nobody in the crew was able to get back in the case. The frame could be a little more sturdy but the fabric material is fine. Overall it's fine and for the price it gets the job done!
