Portable backdrop stand for traveling

5 years 1 month ago #629677 by Missy J
I need a better portable backdrop stand and while at it, light weight backdrops for traveling.  All my stuff is big and heavy.  Down side to very good backdrops, is that they are usually heavy and a little bit on the bulky side.  

Now I need something that I can travel with, ideally something that can fit into a larger tripod bag with a sling strap.  

Can you point me in that direction please?

I'm willing to bet that won't happen. Anything capable of standing up is going to be close to a yard long.

Get muslin backdrops (they're lighter and a lacrosse bag with wheels to cart everything about. You'd even be able to take a lightstand and umbrella in it.

Missy, how big do you need this to be?

Portable might not be so bad if you are carrying around just one.  But you might want to cut it down on size to 10x8 or something like that.

Ran across this in a PPA thread on their site.

Very interesting, and one I was unfamiliar with. Not "backpack" size, but certainly portable.
