How hard would it be to take down a muslin backdrop and put it back on, if I use velcro to attach them to a pvc tube? I sometimes travel with them..

Great question! I used either duct tape and or small nails...the nails are more permanent the duct tape works ok to. I used small sections of tape 3 to 4 inches long to attach it to the pvc two people is better then one when taking down but I managed it my self.

Not hard! We actually use velcro on PVC for some of our freedom cloth backgrounds. We travel often, using a Bogan support system with 3 rollers. One background is velcroed to the PVC, and then another background is velcroed to the bottom of the first. Very handy! Good luck!

I haven't used it that way, but it sound like a great idea. Let me know how it goes. I find the Roller mount very sturdy.

We use our backdrops against a wall so nothing bleeds through. I'm sure light would bleed through if there was a window behind it since it is only muslin.

Each muslin is for lightweight application.But they comes in w/muslin protector which is felt type of fabric. So you could add,or attach them for better lightabsorbing in those case. Regards, kimoutlet

The top rail would have to be modified. Also, most muslin materials are 6 ft. wide. You could make it work.

No. Paint would gunk up the material. Velcro works by a series of ridged hooks engaging none ridged material and latching mechanically. Painting would suppress this mechanical function

I have mine set up with the large heavy muslin backdrop and it is holding it without issue. Full expansion all directions. Would work perfectly.

It won't be real tight. It just hangs. As for the clamps, if you don't have a rod pocket on your backdrop, use the clamps like a clothespin. I guess if you wanted to, you could use the clamps to stretch it a little tighter side to side at the top with a rod pocket too. {I don't know why you would need to} But the rest will just hang. If you need to get wrinkles out, set it up a day or two before hand and let them 'fall' out. The sides of the backdrop don't connect to the stand. Only the top of the backdrop.I hope this answers your question.

The protector serves 2 purposes. When you lay it on the floor, it keeps dirt off of the back of your backdrop and second, it blocks any backlight from spilling unto the back of your backdrop. A protector may NOT be needed, depending on setup and use, but if you are shoot full length, they help. You don't wash a muslin so consider the cleaning aspect too. They WILL shrink!

I have only used 10 x 20 muslin and I would not put more than 2 or 3 on it at a time. If you are only going to use one background I think is should be alright. The problem that I had, it tends to tip and it bows in the middle. In my opinion it's not very. I hope this helps.

I would recommend buying some clips to stretch the cloth taut on the frame. We used 8 2-inch spring clamps (4 down each side). Other than that, you will need to have video editing software to remove the green background and insert whatever you wish to put there.

The velcro itself will never let go- I could see it holding as much as 35 pounds. The problem is the backing adhesive. It will peel off before the velcro will making this stuff not much more useful then double sided tape.

I've used mine with both a large muslin background, and also a large roll of paper background (aprox. 8'x10'). The paper weighs at least 10# and there has never been any sag or other stress on use system. For ordinary studio applications this is a good and stable product.

I tried it with the white muslin, and I suggest you don't. It was more wrinkled coming out than into the washer and dryer. My wife had a steamer unit that did the best when the muslin was hanging on the cross-beam. I suggest you do the same.

Well I don't know what kind of clamps you got but the clamps I've gotten through Amazon.com is great for the use with my backdrop. The clamps is great on muslin thick or thin and big enough to clamp the top bar and or the side stands. If vertical use, either clamp it or pinch the material to keep it stretched cross (the tips are plastic). So, the clamps I've got is by "Bear Hug" by Grandpa Blue, look it up on Amazon. There made of plastic and durable and so far have no problems in them falling apart. Hope this helps.

You could use muslin by folding in half.But muslin itself comes in 10x10 by ft.Regards,kimoutlet

The image for this product doesn't really help. Set up your light studio so that the black is the back panel on the outside. The white as a back and both sides so the table you set it on is bare at the bottom. The Velcro is then on top in back for your backdrops.

the muslin shipped in folded,not in roll. to get rid of wrinkle, it is better to hang it over the line,or backdrop support stand first,and water it very lightly,evenly,and let it dry over. Regards, kimoutlet
