Bought a seconds Heavy Duty Double Sided Collapsible White/Black Background which I'm very happy with, except for one problem.. how on gods earth do you fold the ******* thing up again

Take the model out first

Hey, that looks a good price .... might have to dig the credit card out

I notice they are seconds....how bad were the flaws on yours ?

Grip the edges and give a good twist! This works for the background as well!

Good find, I've been thinking about one of these for some time.

The only flaws mine has are a few off white markings on the white side. TBH if you place the subject about a meter and a half in front and use a wide aperture it's hard to notice, but even then 2 minutes with the clone tool will sort it out. The black side is unmarked.

LOL, took me 15 minutes to get my 42" reflector back in the bag and smacked myself in the face in the process

But its second nature now

Don't be shy. Spill the beans. What's your technique ?

Utter some ancient words of power at it whilst kicking the sodding thing, your customers will take pity on you and attempt to fold it correctly (well at least my grand kids did )!

Summerleft · 18-01-2008, 17:46

LOL how can you explain it you can't, its a kind of hold top and bottom and twist and push into the centre, it then coils up
