Product Information

Full details

The Westcott X-Drop Kit - Green Screen is ideal for mobile photographers, videographers, and content creators seeking a portable and easy-to-set-up background solution. Its key benefit is the ultra-compact, lightweight design that allows for quick deployment in any location, offering a professional backdrop for portraits, headshots, and video conferencing. A potential caveat is its 5 x 7 foot size, which may be limiting for very wide shots or larger groups.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the backdrop?

The backdrop measures 5 x 7 feet (approximately 1.5m x 2.1m).

How much does the kit weigh?

The entire kit, including the frame, backdrop, and travel case, weighs approximately 1.2kg (2.5lb).

Is the backdrop machine washable?

Yes, the polyester backdrop is machine washable in cold water on a gentle cycle and can be tumble dried on low heat.

Can I use the backdrop with other stands?

Yes, the backdrop features durable grommets that allow it to be mounted on the included X-Drop frame or other compatible background support systems using suitable hooks.

How quickly can I set this up?

The X-Drop system is designed for rapid setup, typically taking only a few seconds to expand the frame and attach the backdrop.

Is the fabric shiny?

No, the backdrop is constructed from a uniquely blended matte-polyester fabric that is reflection-resistant for effortless lighting.

Does the kit include more than one backdrop?

The standard X-Drop Kit includes one backdrop of your choice. The travel case has a little extra space, potentially allowing you to carry an additional backdrop.

Troubleshooting

Backdrop not stretching taut

Ensure the telescoping frame is fully extended and locked. Check that all grommets are securely attached to the frame's hooks. Gently pull the fabric taut from the edges before securing.

Persistent wrinkles on the backdrop

While designed to be wrinkle-resistant, stubborn creases can be removed by steaming the fabric. Alternatively, wash the backdrop in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Frame won't lock into place

Verify that the frame sections are properly aligned before extending. If resistance is met, do not force it. Check for any obstructions within the telescoping tubes. Ensure you are extending it to the full 5 x 7 foot dimension.

Travel case is difficult to close

Ensure the frame is fully collapsed and the backdrop is folded neatly. Remove any additional items that may be causing bulk. The case is designed for a snug fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely portable and lightweight, weighing under 3 pounds.
  • Quick and simple setup in seconds thanks to the telescoping frame.
  • Wrinkle-resistant backdrop fabric ensures a smooth, professional look.
  • Reflection-free surface simplifies lighting setups.
  • Durable construction designed for years of use.
  • Affordable price point for a complete backdrop system.

Cons

  • The 5 x 7 foot size may be too small for certain applications like wide group shots.
  • The polyester material, while wrinkle-resistant, may require occasional steaming for stubborn creases.
  • Setup relies on the included frame; using with alternative systems requires compatible mounting.
  • The kit-bag has limited extra space, potentially not accommodating bulky alternative backdrops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the telescoping aluminum frame until it reaches the desired 5 x 7 foot size and locks into place.
  2. Unfold the green screen backdrop.
  3. Attach the backdrop to the X-Drop frame using the built-in grommets on the backdrop's edges. Ensure the fabric is pulled taut for a seamless appearance.

Compatibility:

The X-Drop System is designed to work with its included frame. The backdrop features durable grommets, which allow for mounting onto the X-Drop frame's hooks. These grommets can also be used with household hooks or other compatible background support systems if needed.

Care:

  • Cleaning: The wrinkle-resistant polyester backdrop is machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle. For best results, hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat.
  • Storage: After use, carefully fold the backdrop and collapse the frame. Store all components in the included travel case to maintain portability and protect the materials.
