Westcott making my life easier!

Easy to set up and take down! A lot less to carry than my old system.

A beautiful, vibrant backdrop for solo headshots.

I love the color of this backdrop/sweep for portraits. It's light enough to be affected by gels, but interesting enough on its own. As with all fabric made of this material, it's a bit thin and will show the X-Drop behind it. I solve this by hanging a 5x7 black background behind it, doubling up the fabric. The sweep is suboptimal compared to paper, as it can fold and bundle under your subject's feet as they move, presenting editing challenges in post. The worst thing about this backdrop is it comes in a squareish bag, meaning it is stored repeatedly folded over instead of rolled. If you fold this thing up, you're getting giant hard wrinkles all over the backdrop that you'll have to edit out. I really wish they'd provide cylinder-shaped bags to roll the drop up and store it.

Good, but different than the 8x8

Bought to use with my XDrop Pro, this was a different material and slightly different shade compared to the 8x8 made by Westcott. You'd think Westcott would make them all the same regardless of size.

Great portable grey backdrop

Previously I purchased the black and also white backdrops for my photography business. I had a client who asked for a grey background, so I purchased it. Did not disappoint. Cotton fabric is becoming my favorite!

Fleece like material, but will do the trick!

So different than I imagined, but I like that I can use it for pet photography and be able to wash it and their nails can't tear through it.

These backdrops are fantastic! Easy to install, remains wrinkle free, zero reflection, lightweight, easy to pack. Love them!! Use them daily. Wasn’t expecting much for the price. Incredible value. (Quality and durability verses cost). Quality product at a GREAT price. Hard to find that these days.

Worth every penny!

Yes, the is truly a great value. Its lightweight, quick to put up, and washable, that's the key! Easier to wash than to replace. I use it for T&I sports and as a bonus, it comes with a bag!

Great for indoor use

I found this backdrop was quick and easy to setup. It's a great backdrop for "head" shots. As it is a light setup, I would recommend for indoor use only but that is just my opinion. Very happy I bought this one.

Highly Recommended Backdrop System

I love the Wescott X-Drop system. It is the perfect size, and it’s portability and setup is great for onLocation shoots. It saves lots of time. I am about to order additional backdrops as I already have black, white, and green. I would highly recommend it!

X-Drop Backdrop

I have had the X-Drop system with the green screen for school pictures and it works great. Very light and easy to carry. When I saw the sweep backgrounds I thought this might be a great way to replace my gray seamless. The backdrop went up well, wrinkles smoothed out easily. I did have to weight the ends because it didn't lay flat at the bottom with people moving around on it. Older people would be good, but young kids are too wiggly to keep it flat like the picture shows.

Different material than other x-drops

Got the x-drop mist kit and then ordered the green screen backdrop. Green screen is made out of fleece and is at least 2.5 times as bulky as the mist backdrop. Had to let out the expansion zipper of the x-drop carrying case to be able to barely stuff it in the case. Wish it was same material and size as other backdrop.

Great portable grey backdrop

By DARNELL S.

Previously I purchased the black and also white backdrops for my photography business. I had a client who asked for a grey background, so I purchased it. Did not disappoint. Cotton fabric is becoming my favorite!

If you need to capture full-body shots but still work in a limited space, the 5′ x 12′ backdrop offers a perfect solution. This elongated backdrop is excellent for full-body portraits of a single subject, providing more flexibility in composition compared to the 5′ x 7′ size.

When using a 5' x 12' backdrop, the extra length can act as a “sweep,” curving from the floor up to the backdrop. This creates a smooth, seamless transition that’s perfect for full-body shots, giving your photos a clean and professional look without any harsh lines.

When you’re not using the sweep, the extra material can be tucked under the stand, converting it into a 5′ x 7′ backdrop when needed. This allows you to switch between headshots and full-body shots without changing backdrops.

Best Uses for 5′ x 12′ Backdrops:

  • Full-Body Portraits: Capture full-length images without needing a larger studio
  • Small Studio Spaces: Perfect for photographers with limited room
  • Versatile Shooting: Easily switch between full-body and tighter compositions

Pro Tip: If you need to shoot wider than the 5-foot width, you can easily extend the backdrop in post-production when your subject is fully framed against it.
