Q&A’s

How do I Achieve a Pure White Background?

To achieve a pure white background you need to light your background separately to your main subject otherwise the background will appear grey due to light fall off. First of all, you need to be able to pull your subject away from the background if possible to prevent any bounced/reflected light from the background affecting your subject. Then you need to light your background to be about 1-1½ stops brighter (2x brighter) than your main subject allowing you to essentially blowing out (over exposing) your background. If the output from your background lights are too low, the background will appear grey. However, if your background lights are set too high, the light will begin to eat into your subject resulting in an undesirable muddy look with little contrast. You also increase your risk of getting flare in your lens. Ideally your background needs to be lit with at least two lights (one from each side) resulting in a more evenly lit background and to avoid getting dark areas on your final photograph or video footage. maximum sync speed that your flash trigger allows you to use (please refer to your flash trigger’s user manual).

Hi, will this stand hold cotton muslin backdrops? Thanks

I can confirm that this stand will hold the muslin backdrops fine. The muslin drops will have a loop rim at the top for easy mounting that will allow you to thread the cross bar through.

Fantastic

After buying a similar heavy duty stand from amazon,which was dread full and quickly returned I decided to buy this one. I was amazed at the build quality it put the other one to shame. Great product heavy duty use yes, I would recommend this to any one.
The staff at pixapro are very helpful and friendly a pleasure to deal with, thank you guys.

Top Quality Background

Pixapro products are first class and this stand is no exception they are solid and very strong, well packaged in a very well made sturdy carry case. The stands are air cushioned and prevent sudden collapse when the height is adjusted, the background would easily hold the backdrop safely, especially important when photographing children as the may accidentally knock the stands. I haven't been paid, endorsed or received any discount on this product it is my honest opinion. I have purchased a number of Pixapro products and I have never been disappointed with either the quality or customer service. Buy with confidence.

Strong and sturdy

Was looking for sturdy upgrade to basic background stand from one of the kits on here without the price tags of something like the Manfrotto ones. This is much much stronger and survived a drunk person toppling falling into the background at an event and it didn't come down or break!! Also strong and long enough to hold the large and heavy 2.72 m length paper backgrounds from Creativity Backgrounds. Highly recommended.
