- Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2025TL;DR - A simple, but effective backdrop system. Limited utility for the metal poles.
DISCLAIMER - This review sample was provided to me free of charge. The opinions expressed are solely my own with no input from either manufacturer or 鶹.
For context, I work as a professional photographer.
I ordered this setup because I wanted to create a convenient, but temporary backdrop setup. And technically it works, but it's hardly more convenient than using a singular backdrop pole.
If you intend to use this setup on stands you absolutely must secure everything with sandbags to prevent catastrophic failure. This is true even more so if you intend to use the included metal poles, as these poles make the entire setup incredibly top heavy.
Additionally, there are diminishing returns in terms of efficiency. If you're using these primary to do only headshots or 3/4 body portraits where the backdrop does not need to be fully extended onto the ground, this setup is awesome. But for full length shots, the time it takes fully extend the paper out and secure it isn't that much more convenient than swapping individual rolls. Maybe I'm just fast at switching rolls, or painfully slow at everything else, but the annoyance of rolling up paper was basically the same to me. It's always tedious and makes me long for the days of electronic backdrop systems.
The last thing I'll mention, that I absolutely hate is how cheap the chains are in all of these sets. I am perpetually afraid of snapping a link as I use them. They are literally the weakest link.
Personally speaking, if you have the ability to mount these on a wall or ceiling, I'd highly recommend that over using them on stands.
Other than that, not a bad product at all.
