ePhotoInc 5' x 7' Photo Collapsible CHROMAKEY Green Blue Background 2 in 1 Backdrop Panel T57BG

I love this screen! I teach online courses, and I wanted to be able to drop in a virtual background when using Zoom (my university's web conferencing platform). I initially tried a regular fabric greenscreen, which was basically a big green sheet (there are a lot of them on Amazon). It worked OK, but hanging it was a pain. Clipping it to door frames didn't work well, and the pipe frames that are made to work with the backdrops are big and awkward. I wanted a solution that I could put up in 1-2 minutes, then take down when I'm not teaching. This ePhotoInc collapsible screen cost more than the green sheets, but it's worth the difference. The frame is spring steel and is sewn right into a pocket around the screen. When you unpack the screen, it springs open (it's a bit startling the first time -- make sure you have plenty of clearance). The built-in frame keeps the screen taut. And the spring steel frame is much thicker and stronger than I expected -- easily strong enough to hold the screen in a single stand with just one clamping point. I bought the Fovitec StudioPRO - 1x 7'6" Pop Out Muslin Backdrop & Reflector Clip Stand (ASIN B00PLEX7Q4) and it works great: Sturdy, quick setup, and folds up small when not in use. The combination of collapsible screen and stand lets me set up a Chromakey videoconference studio in just a minute or two, and the greenscreen works very well with Zoom's virtual background feature. The only downside of the collapsible screen is that it's tricky to fold back up when done. Fortunately, we'd bought pop-up tents and pop-up play cubes for the kids in the past, so I knew the trick about twisting the spring steel frame to collapse it. If you haven't done it before, plan on confusion the first few times you try to fold it up. After a while it will become intuitive, but it would have been nice to have folding instructions. Bottom line: For about sixty bucks, this screen plus the stand will give you the ability to set up a Chromakey videoconferencing studio in just a minute or two, so you don't have to tidy up the room every time you do a videoconference. Great solution. Relatively low investment with a high ROI.

When I ordered this I actually thought it was about a quarter of the size it is. And instead of one side being blue and the other side green I thought that they were two separate screens, but honestly being double sided and this large is much better for using as a green screen background. Before this I had one made of cloth and it was hard to key in because of the wrinkles so I had to keep it somewhere stretched tight all of the time which is hard to do. This material shows on camera to be more of one solid color which is exactly what you need to chromakey. I haven't folded it since I opened, it so I don't really know how to put it back in it's zippered case/bag, LOL. I'll just figure that out when the time comes. Also being lightweight means I can thumbtack it upright to the wall. Plus the fact that it is so large means it's much easier to use as a background without getting too close to the camera. I'm happy even though it could be a little cheaper in my opinion.

This product is reasonably priced and gets the job done. My daughter needed it for the many videos she has to submit for her performances. The colors were recommended by the agency so we went with it. The only issue is that it does't have a stand so you need to place something on each side of it keep it steady. And if you don't put it against a wall you need to have something behind it to keep it in place. It is a little tricky to fold when putting it away. The folding directions were useless but she watched a youtube video which really helped. After a few times it is easy.

Not a professional. I'm working from home during the quarantine and the video conference software (Zoom) allows for virtual backgrounds. Who needs to see my messy house? This thing is big for this purpose, but who wants to go small? The frame is very sturdy. Be careful when expanding it and refolding it. Cracked my shin pretty good while learning to fold it. Search YouTube for "How to Fold a Portable Green Screen". The video is from 2013 and the man doing the video explains it very well. He starts out explaining smaller round screens, so keep watching. LEARN BEFORE YOU GO OUT! You do NOT want to be the guy out on a shoot who doesn't know how to fold his/her own screen. The price shot up $6 in the past week, but with so many people at home and green screens are not essential items, who can blame the seller for meeting demand? I won't. Still a great screen if you can get it under $50.

Given the coronavirus world I find myself on videoconferencing twenty times more than usual and stranded in the home office. Having a green screen so I can use virtual backgrounds on Zoom, Ring Central, and Teams is useful. I have a set of different virtual backgrounds I can use for different occasions.This green screen does not require all the professional equipment overhead of a true backdrop and still performs fairly well. It is uniform and does not pick up too much stray light, and because the material is slightly elastic and held under tension it avoids too many wrinkles (there are some, but not visible to my camera.)It is blue on the other side. I have not used the blue side at all.I have it set up about 36-42 inches behind my desk chair, and the webcam another 30-36 inches in front of me. I use it every day and so far it is working very well.

Two walls painted in different colors come together right behind me at my WFH computer station and I didn't like how that looked on video conferences. This background seemed like a good solution: I could hang it from a stand and it would make background replacement work perfectly in Zoom. And it does work perfectly. The foldable frame holds the cloth tight, the color is even, the size is large enough to completely hide my walls from my camera, and it's reasonably light. It's a little tricky to fold, but it's not hard. I'm glad I got it.
