Can the backdrop hold lightweight fabric as a background for events ?

Yes, it could. I design quilt patterns and purchased this stand to hold the quilt for a photo shot for the pattern covers.

Yes. The metal is not heavy duty and it's easy to over-tighten and bend the tubes a bit if you're not careful. It's light and easy to put up and has been stable on standard carpet. It's held up well even with hanging, unrolling and rerolling large paper backdrops, heavier than the greenscreen fabric.

Im pretty sure. I used it for my wedding photobooth background. Its not as study, but it works for the price.

I couldn't say because it arrived with a broken piece. The collar that tightens the legs down on one of the stands was shattered - either in-transit or it was packed broken. I think it would be sturdy enough to hold a vinyl backdrop otherwise. I have contacted the manufactures to see if they would send a replacement piece, but they haven't responded. I will probably have to just return the product.

Most muslin backdrops have a pocket for the crossbar to go through, Paper drops have a cardboard core. If you have a muslin with no pocket you can have one sewn in or use some background hanging clips with rings. JTL and Promaster make some that would work nicely do an Amazon search, both brands are available

The ePhoto is quite flexible but the backdrops are not very big. They are big enough for the work that I am doing, but if you had to include several people in a scene the backdrop would not be large enough.Did I answer your question?

I only use light weight backdrops because the legs don't lock in place now. I have to use painters tape to hold them.

I can't say how much exact weight this would hold but I am certain it will hold a muslin backdrop. I have a roll of paper on mine that I know outweighs a large backdrop piece of muslin. As long as you are not talking about a roll of muslin. It might very well hold a roll of muslin as well, though. It's pretty sturdy.

It does very well on vinyl backdrops. That's all we have. They're 48" by 80" backdrops.

I haven't tried the other, but this one works well however it is a little thin. I use the supports but mostly with other backdrops that are a little thicker. the green screen does work, but it has to be up against a solid background like a wall with no light to work best.

The backdrop is a separate item that you can attach or not. I personally screwed my backdrop on. I really love this heater!

I think the crossbar, if fully extended, might not handle the weight of the vinyl. Not knowing how much the backdrops weighs or the dimensions. I have a 10x20 muslin backdrop and the crossbar is fully extended. It does sag a little, maybe an inch or two. I hope that helps.

It should. It is quite sturdy. We use the backdrop as a background for large quilts.

This thing is tall and wide. Don't think two velcro will do it. Best to secure the background with two light stands with clamps on each side or lean on something sturdy. The background is not heavy but is big.

I use the backdrops with just natural light all the time. No need to transport the lights too. I even use the backdrops indoors with just window lighting as well for infant portraits.

Your backdrops don't have rod pockets? If they don't you can fold an edge over (most use about 4") and sew it or pin it yourself.

I wouldn't purchase this for a vinyl backdrop. It sags in the middle. The other thing is, if you have vinyl backdrops that are various sizes, it doesn't go up and down, so you are stuck. I use this for blanket backdrops during newborn sessions and it works perfect for that.
