The 5 x 7' X-Drop Vinyl Backdrop from Westcott, in a weathered wall, is the ideal solution for all types of photography, including 3/4-length portraits, headshots, couples, families, product photos, videoconferencing, and more. It is made of durable and tear-resistant seamless vinyl with a nonreflective matte finish that is easy to clean with a damp sponge for when you're photographing food, pets, and children. You can use the X-Drop as a backdrop or floordrop, and it is outfitted with five grommets for mounting on the X-Drop stand system or hooks. More cost-effective and eco-friendly than a paper backdrop, it ships in a sturdy travel-friendly storage tube and rolls out flat for immediate use with no steaming required.

Q: 1. Would this work mounted on a Sony fs5?

Q: 2. Whats the difference between This and Impact Pro Backdrop Support Kit (12.9' Width) $224.95?

Q: 3. These are adjustable height, correct? So I can use them at 4 or 5 feet if I wanted?

A: Yes These are adjustable. Although I'm sure there is a minimum height because the poles are about 3 feet at their smallest breakdown. But These will easily go from 4 feet to 10 feet tall.

Q: 4. I purchased this and it came with no assembly instructions, and their website links to instructions that are 404 Not Found. Any pointers?

A: Easiest we have found is to take legs first side by side and pull down on tripod legs to unlock. That allows spread for base. Set to width you need so height and width of tripod are same and tighten screws hand tight to lock. Build the height on each leg from bottom up then adjust height from top down and lock by tightening screws. When legs match at height you want unscrew locking screw on one end of cross bar and adjust to width you need . Twist gently to lock crossbar. Add drop and secure both ends of crossbar on legs by setting hole on top of crossbar and tightening screw to hold. To take down just remove crossbar , lower legs and collapse tripod. No need to remove screws just loosen.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with the Sony A1?

A: This will not work on a Sony A1. The Sony A1 uses a different eye piece from the other older A7 cameras this is for.

Q: 6. Is this crossbar more stronger then the Manfrotto 272B? Can I buy the Photoflex crossbar individually without the stands?

A: The overview says 40 lbs is for the stands. It does not give it for the cross bar. Comparison based on specs is only meaningful if you know both specs use the same criteria. B&H should answer this question.

Q: 7. Is this the best possible backdrop stand for this price range?

A: I think so, based on all the research I did and my ownership of this stand. Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. I've owned less expensive stands that are fine for 5x7 backdrops, but when I need to use my 10x20 heavy duty backdrop I pull this sucker out. It is very sturdy and stable even fully extended up/across, and there is no sagging. I recently used it and the large backdrop to photograph a family of 15...no problems, no worries it would fall. Comes in a decent carrying bag as well, and unlike others of similar width, this one collapses down small enough to fit in the car (others have fixed 12' crossbars). I'm very pleased with it, it was money well spent. I don't think I'll need to purchase another backdrop stand - this will work with everything I have and could ever want to use with it!

Q: 8. does it fits with A7M4?

A: The Aquatech 1361 All-Weather Shield Eyepiece for Sony A7 series cameras has not been tested with the A7 IV to our knowledge. The results may vary when using these products together.

Q: 9. Are the stands in this kit air cushioned?

A: No, these stands are not air-cushioned. Also, the tightening action of the clamps is less than desired. We've been using them, and they suit our purpose, but I wish I had spent more on a superior set of stands. Hope this info is helpful.

Q: 10. Does this stand come with the sheet or do I need to buy that? If so, any recommendations?

A: Mine did not come with a back drop sheet. as for as recommendations you will need to decide what you want either cloth or paper. I use cloth and have a few different ones from different manufacturers. I would suggest at least one black color then it is up to the look you want to achieve. I happen to like the Wescott brand but I'm sure any is ok.
