Rated 5 out of 5

Worked as advertised. Good quality.

Do educate yourself about evenly lighting your green screen though as hot spots can make your chroma key footage difficult or impossible to use. I learned a lot! But the product was fine.

Overpriced fragile backdrop

It works for its intended purpose. However, this backdrop is very flimsy and fragile. Make sure to use it indoors because any type of wind could destroy it. Even the zipper tabs broke in half while I was closing the bag. In my opinion it it overpriced for the quality of what you get.

Versatile!

The X-Drop ackdrops are a great addition to a portable studio setup. While nothing is -the- answer, there are a those that fill enough niches that they come closer. Westcott's X-Drop backdrops are portable, versatile, sturdy and have numerous options. The X-Drop Pro exceeds the original X-drop because it accommodates the full range of available background sizes... backwards compatibility. Wait, is this a videogame console? No... :) Nice product. I'd recommend.

great fast setup but not sturdy enough to survive heavy use.

Very fast setup but I bit too flimsy to heavy use. Had a Subject step back into the backdrop and it bent one of the support legs. It still works but it's very hard to pull in and out. Not sure how long it will last but it's amazingly fast to setup. Backdrops are a bit pricey but if you want it, you have to pay for it.

Easy to set up, easy to use, and wonderful results!

I have only had the chance to use this once so far, but I love it already! The backdrop material is much better than I had expected. Almost wrinkle-free out of the package! And this material should be very forgiving! Set-up of the support was relatively easy, but be sure to read the instructions before you start. I'm sure that the next time i set it up the process will be a LOT faster! I was very pleased with the results of the first shoot, even though I did have some lighting issues that were NOT related to the backdrop!

Perfect for all sessions.

Just what I needed for pictures to drop the background out for sports composites. No funny green tint from a green screen. Easy to use and clean with the outstanding quality expected from Westcott. Will order other colors and types for future shoots.

It's big

This is super easy to set up. It's plenty wide. Only downside is that the hooks for the clothe to hang on are plastic. One of mine was broken upon arrival.

Simple & efficient, should have bought one of these years ago.

Quick & easy to set up, simple and efficient. I will be buying some alternative backgrounds to go with this setup, and potential adapting older backdrops to fit on the X frame.

Love love love the 8 by 8 background

I was pleasantly surprised the background is awesome. My clients even complimented me on the background. Very easy to use I highly recommended. Looking for more to come hopefully at a better price point.

Perfect after home conversion

It was just what I wanted in terms of background design. I had to sew pockets on the corners to convert it to the system that I have. It would be great if there were more background options for the system that I own.

Highly recommended

The Westcott Neutral Gray Backdrop is my absolute favorite from the moment I put it up. It has both a rod pocket and grommets so I have options on how I hang it. I put it through the washer and dryer, and it came out wrinkle free. It drapes gorgeously over any box or bench put beneath it. Highly recommend!

Great but don?t backlite or use outdoors

Okay I like the new Westcott X drop pro, I have two 5x7 x drops and I would add they are great provided there is no wind. Yes it?s heavier and seems even more stable the footprint of it isn?t too substantial but you will need space. I have black and white 8x13 and highly recommend them but the white gets dirty so much faster than seem less paper so when shooting multiple subjects beware.

8′ x 8′ Backdrop: Ideal for Small Groups and Horizontal Shots

The 8' x 8' backdrop is one of the most versatile options for portrait photographers. This size is ideal for horizontal portraits and small group shots of up to four people. The 8′ x 8′ backdrop provides enough room for your subjects to move around and for you to experiment with composition and framing. This size also allows you to capture more dynamic poses and a range of subjects.

One of the biggest benefits of the 8′ x 8′ backdrop is its portability. When paired with Westcott's X-Drop Pro Stand, it becomes easy to transport and set up, making it a great option for photographers who need to move between different locations, while still having a full-sized setup.

Best Uses for 8′ x 8′ Backdrops:

  • Small Group Portraits: Accommodates up to four people comfortably
  • Horizontal Portraits: Offers more flexibility for wider framing
  • Room for your Subject to Move: Ideal for individual shots where you want to show dynamic poses or movement

Pro Tip: The added length of the 8′ x 8′ backdrop allows for creative lighting setups where you can place your subjects at varying distances from the backdrop, creating more depth and layering in your photos.
