Questions & Answers

RON C : do your black backdrops have a top sleeve?BRIAN S : Yes mine does.YSA N : I bought this one and, no, it doesn't have a sleeve. You need clips to hold it up. But otherwise, it's a good quality for the price.JUSTIN G : Yes, this one has a sleeve that enables the top bar of the backdrop stand to go through.STEVEN H : Yes, it does have a top sleeve which makes it easy to use with my portable set up kit.RUSSELL B : YES IT HAS A TOP SLEEVE
RON C : does your backdrop have a top sleeve?REIDAR S : One side of the backdrop has a sleeve (loop) along the shot edge through which you run your backdrop stand's pole. When I need to rotate the backdrop 90 degrees (horizontal), I use safety pins to form a loop, the material is easy to push through safety pins.GERRY S : Yes, it does.RYAN M : No top sleeveMARK R : yes, the one i received had a rod pocket.GREGORY O : YesD G : Yes, the sleeve will accept a 2 inch pipe.JEFF M : By top sleeve, I assume you mean a pole pocket? Yes, it does. I am able to thread a pole through the pocket at the top for hanging.JOHN B : Yes.Meera A : You mean something to thread the backdrop rod through? Then, yes. It does.
SARAH S : If I use a softlighter front right and a window front left, will this appear solid black?ROGER D : If you Put as much distance between the subject & background as possible, and mabey use barndoors on ur front lights & work with them a little,while watching your backgroung. Make sure your getting no light from hairlight, you will be ok. There is no background that you can garentee will shoot solid black. You have to use your common sence. Keep your light off backgroung it wont show up !SARAH S : Thanks, William!WILLIAM B : From what you describe I would think so, but to be honest I haven't had the opportunity to try it. I bought it to aid while using a snoot on the front of my flashpoint strobe to help create a black background. I just haven't the request for it.BASHAR A : Definitely No!! You'll have to fold it in half at least for light to go through and then you've lost half the size. To be honest, I would recommend this after my experience!REIDAR S : You need to have the background a few feet behind so that the light does not spill onto otherwise it could appear dark gray. When confined due to space, I just add a curves layer to make pure black rather quickly. I do have three black backdrops and have not found anything better at this point.

Photo background

Cannot get wrinkles out of it even with ironing. The one I got had a green cast to the grey color

Great quality muslin.

I needed a neutral color muslin for headshots and this worked out great. I would recommend this backdrop.

Just what the Dr. ordered

I do not shoot much on white but I got tired of white paper and the associated issues with it. This works great on my backdrop track and is just perfect for what I needed.

Heavy quality, but wrinkles easily

The fabric quality is good, but does require a good steam iron. The one I received had a grease type stain on it. I contacted customer service and they sent me a return label. It's a little inconvenient, but I'm sure the replacement will be fine. The three stars is because of the wrinkled fabric. I think it will require a touch up iron each use. I was hoping for a more wrinkle resistant fabric.

Solid background

Well constructed solid black muslin background. Worked really well on its maiden voyage. Set up a photo booth at a theme party. Easy to slide into the cross beams, and easy to fold up after.

Reasonable quality, but unexpectedly thin material

The background arrived on time and in good condition -- it seems like a truly decent product. However, the fabric did seem a little thin. This was my first experience with muslin, so perhaps I just did not know what to expect!

What I had expected for the price

Not bad for the price. All-in-all it was exacted what I had expected and what I needed. A bit on the thin side but as long as you set up against a wall without windows or lighting you should be fine. Good value purchase.

Performs as advertised

I use it as a background. It is a large size, neutral color and accents the subject. Virtually impossible to keep wrinkle-free.

The product is fine

I use the product as a backround in my amateur portrait studio. What is good: It does the job as intended, has a 4 inch hem to thread through the backround support bar, and has grommets if you want to hang it like a curtain. What I don't like: Though it was packaged nicely it is folded in such a way that there are creases in the material. I bought a $35 steamer and that pretty much did the trick. I would recommend this product highly.

Good Product

I used this backdrop as part of a pre prom fashion show shoot, it worked fine. Nice weight, perfect size and the white was bright. I would have given it 5 stars but the stiches on one hem were a little ragged. Not that it bothered me ( I have a sewing machine) but someone else might want a better job

As Advertised!

I bought this to make a blacked out studio backdrop in my room. I turned it sideways to cover a three wall space and had the bottom taken in so it wasn't dragging on the floor. It doesn't allow any extra light to seep in from the walls and created the perfect studio on the cheap.

Out of the box

This was just what I needed and Adorama pulled through like no other. I was able to pull this background straight out of the box , put it on my frame and start shooting! I was shooting against a neon pink wall and had no color leakage at all. All photos came out with a pure white backdrop just as planned!

Not worth it

I've bought Belle Drape muslin before and have been happy with the colors and how close they resemeble what I'm looking for. This is not dark gray at all. Medium gray at best. Definitly returning these.

I have a home studio for just family portraits. The large size is a must for 4 year old twins that want to move, rather than sit still.

A beautiful and simple black background

It works well for indoor shoots, its a fairly thin sheet. I compare it to a normal bed sheet. It feels solid and it'll do its job well. I enjoy mine, its easy to set up and use. I iron mine. I use a large heavy blanket on the floor as an ironing board. I steam out most of the wrinkles, i let the lens do the rest. For the cost and vibrance of the black, its worth the buy.

Great for the cost

Good for its cost, Its about as thick as a normal bed sheet. Mine had a few noticable flaws in the sewing, but its not bad enough to want a new one. For the cost its a very good buy. Its thin, so I dont recommend it for outside use. It'll allow stray light to penetrate from the back. Its great for studio use though. I enjoy mine. I've learned the best way to use it is put a heavy bed sheet on the floor then put this over top of it and just iron out most of the heavy wrinkles with some steam. I would not recommend putting it directly on the floor if you are going to steam it... there's no where for the steam to go.

Works

Yes, it is thin. Didn't seem to show any light through it though and I did not have it smack against a wall. I had lights on in my studio. Don't want to have it backlit though as those lights might show. I think for the price it is servicable. Seems long altough I did not measure. Don't see using it all that much but when the need arises. I didn't iron it and didn't have any problems with fold marks showing on the black.

Excellent buy for the money!

I purchased this for indoor newborn shoots. As a mostly natural light photographer I and hadn't worked with a backdrop before but stepped into newborn photography and realized quickly I needed an indoor backdrop setup. Newborns are just not prepared for outdoor elements and clients had definite ideas on black backdrop images. I purchased this before my first shoot and the images were amazing. I did darken the backdrop in photoshop but was ridiculously easy. The Muslin is heavy enough to give a great black background and this set up was less expensive than other products out there and I felt I got more for my money. Having never worked with a backdrop or stand I do have to say I was disappointed to have found no directions in the box but it was an easy set up and didn't take me more than a few minutes to figure it out. If you plan to take it with you to an on location shoot, you'll need two people to stand it up. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The size of the backdrop is amazing. Tall enough and long enough to get standing families with no problem. I highly recommend this!

wrinkles badly

if you buy this or any of the color variations you will be doomed to iron and steamer duty for hours before the shoot. they are exteremly thin and wrinkle like crazy. they dont block light either so if you dont have a wall behind them youll need something to cut the light. you will also be very unlikey to get all the wrinkles out. after shooting on this backdrop i was told "get rid of the sheet your room will make for a better backdrop".. you wont look like a pro with a studio youll look like a guy with camera shooting a wrinkled sheet at home.

Great Backdrop

By Dustin

Positives: Works great for getting solid white backgrounds. The color is consistent and even. Although I didn't plan on using it, I've found the sewn-in-pocket very useful for sliding it on the background support rather than clamping it. I've had no problems with anything reflecting or showing through on the other side. Negatives: The creases from being folded in the packaging took a good steaming to get out. On the positive side, I've left it hang since then and have not notice any return o...
