Westcott X-Drop Background Overview

From Manufacturer

This X-Drop Kit from Westcott allows you to set up your backdrop anywhere you want, removing the need for wall hooks or other kinds of support. Inside the package is a 5 x 12' X-Drop white backdrop, an expandable X-drop frame, and a travel case.

The arms and the legs of the X-Drop base feature small hooks that fit through the grommets to stretch the fabric and avoid wrinkles. The included backdrop is made of a wrinkle-resistant cotton blend that is designed to prevent reflections coming from any angle. It comes in a matte white color and features five grommet holes for mounting, one on each corner and an additional center hole at the top. Cleaning the fabric is easy, simply machine wash it with cold water and then tumble dry on low.

  • Kit provides a portable solution for a free-standing backdrop and comes with a carrying case
  • Five grommet holes used to attach the backdrop to the frame, stretching the fabric for a seamless background
  • Wrinkle-resistant, machine-washable cotton blend makes for an undemanding portable backdrop
  • Reflection-resistant white color for simplified lighting

Perfect for my needs

As an amateur photographer, this is perfect for my needs. It was quick and easy for me to assemble by myself, and the fabric was free of wrinkles as soon as I put it up. Excellent backdrop for the casual user.

Perfect!!!!

This backdrop was exactly what I needed to a rich, warm headshot! Perfect! And B & H was GREAT in getting it to me quickly!

How tall is this stand? I just bought this kit and the stall seems too short.

Is the Backdrop Cloth Wrinkle Free?

Is the Backdrop Cloth Wrinkle Free?
Asked by: Steve
Basically yes. It's a stretchy, fleece-like synthetic that smooths out very well and diffuses light so any minor wrinkles that remain after stretching onto the background stand don't appear in photos.

Will this work with the x drop system that came with the 5x12’ drop? I don’t need a longer drop and would prefer to go with 5x7’ for my second drop. The description says this 5x7’ works with the 5x7’ system but looks like the same only no material for a “floor drop”
Asked by: Sunshine
Yes it will. There is one X-Drop frame (Westcott Part #570X) and both the 5x7 and 5x12 work with that frame.

Can you this be used with other backdrops?

Can you this be used with other backdrops?
Asked by: Savannah
The Westcott X-Drop Pro Wrinkle-Resistant Sweep Backdrop stand has hooks for the grommets to put it on. If you will do DIY backdrop - you will be able to place it on the stand, but at the moment we do not carry any off brand backdrops with that type of mounting.

Is the White a pure white? Does it bounce light well, or does light pass through it? I will be using this as a reflector for photographing rooms.

The Westcott X-Drop Pro Water-Resistant Backdrop Sweep Kit (High-Key White, 8 x 13') BH #WE877SK has a train for going under the subject. The frame supporting it is the same as the 8x8' Kit.
