Westcott 139 9x20-Feet High-Key White Background - Professional Photography Backdrop for Studio, Product Shoots & Video Production

Basically a giant fleece blanket. Even tones throughout. Came folded in a fleece bag and required some ironing to make a perfectly smooth backdrop. Used medium-high heat iron with a room temp water spray bottle and wrinkles came out nicely with no burning or shrinking of material. I would not suggest getting things too hot or you could make a noticeable mark.I am currently using this in a 12x17 basement studio horizontally which gives me a rounded corner along with 2 partially covered walls. The 9' height hits the floor with a small flap on the ground to round off the corner. With this being used primarily to record classical guitar I have coverage from most angles I need in a 3 camera setup, and everything really pops against the pure black background.On an acoustical end there is a noticeable difference in dampening a room when used. For most people that won't be a problem, but if you are using this in a recording environment it is worth noting. I had to take down some acoustical wedges to balance out my room once I got this fully extended.The only 2 cons I have with this background is that it has limited riveted mounting points. It would be nice to see extra rivets going horizontally as I ended up using a staple gun on tongue-and-groove wood boards on the ceiling to mount and stretch it out. There are are just 3 rivets at each end going lengthwise. Having one every few feet on the long side would really help. I know that clamps are typically used, but for more permanent installations it would look a bit cleaner.Also, this backdrop is not completely opaque to direct sunlight or backlight. This may be a problem if you are using this to block out a window in your recording area. Folding it in half will do the trick, but obviously you lose coverage that way.All in all I'm happy enough to be coming back for a 2nd one. I initially had this draped vertically as in the product picture but rolled up the extra length that fell to the ground. I chose to go horizontally for more coverage and found that the pressure from a rolling chair I used that kept making contact with this roll created a wear pattern right down the center of the material. 100% my fault but it does show that the material can get crushed and create a blemish.
