I often shoot photos of food, so this little sweep is very convenient and does it's job well. Plus the price is right for my small budget.
Set up is fast. Just unfold the sweep and its stand and clip on a sheet of paper and you're ready to shoot.
The paper is pretty much just construction paper, but I didn't expect it to be high quality considering the low price. I actually like the texture and the colors are fun. You can easily try out different types of backgrounds to make things interesting.
The sweep is corrugated plastic, which is lightweight and sturdy. The stand however is pretty wimpy. I recommend taping the stand and front end of the sweep to the table so it doesn't shift.

Problems Encountered: The stand works well enough, but the paper included is tissue thin.

I wasn't expecting the paper to be construction paper. It would have been cheaper for me to go to the store and buy a few rolls. I do like that the paper comes with a board that has clips on it but it is too big to fit into my light box which negates its purpose

Good backdrop for small objects. Colors are consistant. Build is a little flimsy so I'll be storing it in it's original box. For the cost, it is worth it. Just don't expect it to last forever.

I recently started shooting products. I wanted a simple background solution with a lot of different colors to experiment with. The Ego Sweep fills the bill. Backgrounds clip to a folding cardboard stand. Small products look great. Great price too.

I use this product in conjunction with the Ego Digital Imaging Lights and love it! I appreciate all the colour choices for backgrounds. The only improvement I can think of is to make the paper thicker so it doesn't tear easily.

I use the Ergo Sweep Background System as backgrounds for my Jewelry Line. The Deep Rich Colors help to accent the Jewelry. They are Easy to change and use. They are a bit big and bulky, but I keep them in the box,under my photo setup, they came in and use them accordingly. Not all that bad.
