I borrowed that very set-up from a friend a few weeks back for a headshot-type shoot. It had the white backdrop, which was a canvas... I feel like it might be on the heavy side for a shoot-thru softbox, but maybe.
All in all, it was kind of nifty. It all stashes in a bag, and goes together pretty quick. I think it was a "normal" light stand (though not the most heavy-duty), or at least, could be used with one. Easy to set up, lightweight... but definitely would be a sail in the wind. For my purposes, I think I'd rather have a backdrop that was more like seamless, with a full sweep to the floor, but ymmv... :) -c On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 8:28 PM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: > > There was a photo booth at the company party this afternoon, I saw this > background setup and was instantly filled with gear envy: > http://www.calumetphoto.com/product/calumet-on-site-portable-background-system/MP0500/ > > $250 for a stand and backdrop is out of my price range this week, but it > looks awesome.
