These new Fotodiox Background Kits are an affordable way to chroma key your talent . They help hide that messy room behind you , or diffuse harsh lighting for a studio quality look in a flash . The company offers multiple sizes and fabrics to choose from .

Designed with a rigid metal frame that quickly slides together , the Fotodiox Complete Portable Background Kit creates a sturdy structure . This makes it easier to stretch out the backgrounds to eliminate wrinkles that wreak havoc in post for keying .

Easy setup and breakdown


This fast and simple system is assembled by snapping the metal tubes together to make the frame . After that , just secure the fabric to the frame with velcro strips .

Setup times are dramatically faster than conventional professional solutions but with a quality to match . It really doesn ’ t get any easier than that , and it even comes with a storage bag .

The rig is built up from a solid frame rather than relying on a collapsible , pop - up scheme and this allows the Fotodiox Complete Portable Background Kit to freely stand on its own through the use of integrated feet . Other pop - up systems require additional stands to hold the backgrounds in place . That means there is more equipment to drag around and a larger space is needed to film .
