Westcott X-Drop Background Reviews

Works Exactly as Described

The stand is well built and stretches the material to give a flat surface. I needed a wrinkle free background. I suppose the wrinkles could strectch out but taking no chances, I washed it in cold water and put it in the dyer. It came out of the dryer with no wrinkles and I rolled it onto a cardboad roll from a carpet dealer. It arrived like it was out of the dryer!

Love the Backdrop

Love this backdrop. It's far more portable and lightweight than carrying around a Paper backdrop. Much easier to setup with one person as well. Only real fault is that the 8x8 is just a touch too large to setup in 8-foot-tall ceilings (which you don't run into often) but might be worth getting a 5x7' fabric for those situations that you do or if you have an older home like I do. It's super nice that with the Pro you have that option. With the 5x7' I was a little worried about how close I might need to be to get horizontal shots and the 8x8 does great with that. I can see some situations in which having the floor (8x12?) might be useful too. Overall great system. Feels really wellmade.
