Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 6' x 7' Collapsible Disc Background, One Side Chroma Blue Screen and One Side Chroma Green Screen, Comes with Zippered Carrying Case.:

I bought this item to be portable and it worked well the first three outings. Fortunately I was using the green screen at home when the steel frame "forgot" its original folded configuration. The result was a monkey solving a physics problem. After watching several "how to fold a green screens" on Youtube I was able to break the steel band. There were no instructions, only a Warning Note. I know why. Maybe I can make drapes.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 6' x 7' Collapsible Disc Background, One Side Chroma Blue Screen and One Side Chroma Green Screen, Comes with Zippered Carrying Case.:

The idea of a folding portable greenscreen is great, however this product has serious issues:1) [...]2) there are no directions on the refold ANYWHERE, now with practices and 2 people it is not that hard, but this product opens to 6 feet by 7 feet, so it's going to be tricky and it was3) because of how it folds, it is possible that any dirt on the frame will wind up on the inside of the screen, again not that good.If you are going to use this in a large cleas space with assistance, then this should work well for you, but if you are travelling with it...which was my goal... maybe not.[...]

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 6' x 7' Collapsible Disc Background, One Side Chroma Blue Screen and One Side Chroma Green Screen, Comes with Zippered Carrying Case.:

I have had no difficulty folding this back up. It folds just like a car window shade...just a lot bigger. When it is open it tends to want to bend a little but I didn't find that to be a big problem. I leaned it up against a shelf. The attached photo is my son in front of the blue side. Worked great for me and very portable.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 6' x 7' Collapsible Disc Background, One Side Chroma Blue Screen and One Side Chroma Green Screen, Comes with Zippered Carrying Case.:

I purchased this background for a New Years Dance photo shoot. I created a background and a foreground banner to make the event special. This background worked great for the shoot. I had some trouble folding it back up as no instructions came with it, but after surfing around I found a video. Folded perfectly once I learned how to do it. The carry bag that came with it is also durable.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 6' x 7' Collapsible Disc Background, One Side Chroma Blue Screen and One Side Chroma Green Screen, Comes with Zippered Carrying Case.:

[...]. The screen would not lay flat, I needed two people to hold it to get it flat. [...] chroma green side was stained and there was a small tear on the edge. I used the screen on a photo shoot and when I attempted to fold it back into it's bag, the wire brace snapped. It made me look very bad in front of my customer. [...] My original idea was to have a portable screen that I could easily transport and set up and more importantly, to be manageable by one person. I feel this size was also TOO large for that purpose. So the magic question, did I get a dud or are all of these screens the same? I will buy another, but not this brand or size, I will buy a smaller size and a different brand. The use of a chroma green is still a good idea and for what I do, it is practical.
