FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this backdrop?

The Westcott X-Drop Fabric Backdrop - Harley is 5 feet tall and 7 feet wide.

Does this backdrop come with a stand?

No, this backdrop is sold separately from the Westcott X-Drop and X-Drop Pro Stands. You will need to purchase a compatible stand for mounting.

Can I iron this backdrop?

While the fabric is wrinkle-resistant, ironing is not typically recommended. A handheld steamer on a low setting or machine washing/drying on low heat is a safer alternative for removing creases.

What type of material is the backdrop made of?

The backdrop is made of 100% polyester fabric, which is non-reflective and durable.

How should I store the backdrop when not in use?

The backdrop folds down compactly and comes with a matching fabric drawstring bag for easy storage and protection.

Is this backdrop suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, the backdrop is designed for studio or controlled environments. Outdoor use may expose it to elements that could damage the fabric or affect its appearance. Ensure it is properly secured if used outdoors.

Can the design be customized?

The backdrop features a pre-printed design. Customization is achieved through creative lighting techniques rather than altering the fabric itself.

Troubleshooting

Backdrop appears creased after unfolding.

Hang the backdrop on the stand and allow it to settle for a few hours. For persistent creases, use a handheld steamer on a low setting or machine wash and tumble dry on low.

Difficulty attaching backdrop to the stand.

Ensure you are using the correct stand (X-Drop or X-Drop Pro). Check that the grommets are aligned with the stand's attachment points and are securely fastened.

Colors do not appear as expected in photos.

Adjust your lighting setup. Experiment with the position, color temperature, and intensity of your lights, as well as the use of gels, to alter the backdrop's appearance and achieve the desired effect.

Backdrop has minor smudges or dirt.

Spot clean with a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a professional, classic background for studio or location shoots.
  • Durable and wrinkle-resistant polyester material is easy to maintain.
  • Lightweight and foldable design enhances portability.
  • Machine washable for convenience.
  • Allows for creative manipulation of appearance through lighting.

Cons

  • Requires a separate X-Drop or X-Drop Pro stand for setup.
  • The 5 x 7 ft. size may be limiting for full-body shots of multiple subjects.
  • The printed design is fixed and cannot be changed without lighting adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the backdrop, ensure you have a compatible Westcott X-Drop or X-Drop Pro Stand (sold separately). Unfold the backdrop and align the metal grommets with the hooks or clips on your X-Drop stand. Secure each grommet for a taut and even hang.

Compatibility: This 5 x 7 ft. backdrop is specifically designed for use with the Westcott X-Drop and X-Drop Pro Backdrop Stands. It can also be hung using other suitable support systems with appropriate hooks or clamps, provided they can accommodate the grommets.

Care: The backdrop is made from 100% polyester and is machine washable. For best results, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. It is also recommended to tumble dry on low heat or air dry to minimize potential creasing. Since the fabric is wrinkle-resistant, minor creases from folding can often be smoothed out by hanging or a quick steam. Store the backdrop folded in its included drawstring bag to protect it from dust and damage.
