Westcott X-Drop Green Screen Reviews

Good for one person zoom meetings

By Stuart
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-27

The material holds up well and the setup is easy although it does take at least two minutes to complete each time. you need space behind the screen for the floor posts that jut out. when at a zoom meeting the screen needs to be brought in pretty close in order to cover the whole picture.

Quality green screen

Very good green screen. Works perfectly with my editing software. Thick, soft material. The few wrinkles it had in the packaging came out by themselves after I hung it up.

Inferior Design to Collapsibles

By Josh
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2022-05-13

I really don't understand the move to X-Drop style backdrops over collapsibles. I'm a headshot photographer who's primarily worked with collapsibles for the past 15+ years. They're much quicker to deal set up, more simple, and have the same quality to them. And now you can barely find them as the whole industry has downgraded itself in favor of the more complex X-Drop style. Not cool.

Wrinkles show

Unlike the white backdrop where the wrinkles disappear with a light source, the gray backdrop prominently shows them. While Westport lists the drop as wrinkle free from stretching, it's not actually the case.

Wanted to try a green screen out for my YouTube video's. This was inexpensive and met my needs. Took a few times to figure out the lighting to make it all work, but once I did the green screen worked flawlessly.

Love it! Bought it on a whim.

I always wanted a green screen...bought this on a whim for fun and have used it at work and at my wife's classroom. Totally worth the laughter and joy it brought to the kids to see themselves in space, or in the jungle, etc. using different computer generated backgrounds in their pictures.

Green is good

I use this horizontally with my own support frame as the frame you can get for this is vertical aspect. And it works!

Does what it needs to do !!

I do a lot of headshots and have done multi jobs with this system. The time and space it's saves me is worth the trade off. Nothing like it !

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.

I need a black background for items that will be placed on the floor and photographed from above, so am thinking about purchasing this background cloth - a lot of people though seem to describe it as having a felt-like texture and I am wondering if folks think this texture would show up if items were photographed directly against the background (as opposed to portraits where it would be at a remove /bokeh-ed a bit)? Thank you!
Asked by: Mary
Westcott X-Drop Background (5 x 7', Black) has a texture. Depending on how you light it, you might pick up the texture.

Is this a canvas, or more like a fleece fabric? I purchased a canvas that came with the stand, and then an extra backdrop on its own, but the gray backdrop I purchased looks like a fleece blanket instead of a pretty canvas like the one with the kit.
Asked by: Patricia
The one I received was fleece.
