ebay Studio backdrop setups?

[n00g33]

Hi APers.

I need a backdrop (already have the off camera flash equipment). I was thinking bigger is always better if you can fit it. Also just gonna get fabric from lincraft/spotlight.

Just wondering if anybody has tried any of those studio ebay setups?

I have a similar one I got off EBay. Nice & solid, fits together well complete with carry bag. I think mine was about $99 so maybe the same model as same dimensions. Worth it for the money I feel. Fabric from Spotlight is hard to find wide enough and also finding a material that doesn't crease is hard. I ended up with a sunblock / rubber backed curtain material but find I tend to just use an old dark blue velour type queen blanket clamped to it for my portrait shots.

I have something similar from Ebay also. However, it doesn't feel all that sturdy once extended up to full height. I tend to weigh mine down with bags of rocks to stop it from toppling over onto the subjects.
