Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How low can this go?

A: Approximately 47-48" minimum height

Q: 2. 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: 3. Does the westcott eyelighter 3 come in different sizes?

A: The eyelighter iii comes in only one size 54.5 x 24.8 x 21.2 inches.

Q: 4. Is this portable enough to be used for on-location headshots?

A: Yes, it's portable. I breaks down to a small size (setup takes a few minutes). The main rails are curved, so it still needs a wider bag to carry in. Keep in mind you'll need a short light stand to mount it to, and also a weight if the stand isn't bottom heavy. This is a pretty large modifier and at certain angles it can become unstable on a light weight stand.

Q: 5. How easy is it to take apart/collapse for transport?

A: It's a pretty quick set up even by one's self. I like that all 3 parts fit into the same bag which is still only as long as a regular stand.

Q: 6. 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: 7. How strait is the reflector from front to back? I have a competing unit and it bows front to back, which makes the catchlight thin, not thick like in the eye lighter demos.

A: Westcott Eyelighter 2 Reflective Panel is flat in the center and curves up on the ends. What is unique about the Eyelighter is the fact that it has a tilter bracket, so you can make the catchlight as thin (or thick) for your own preference.

Q: 8. How many pounds can the cross bar support?

A: The crossbar can support approximately 10-15lbs.

Q: 9. Would this be suitable for couples head shots or singles only?

A: According to Westcott, the Eyelighter 3 is large enough for shooting portraits of 2 people.

Q: 10. Can the crossbar support a 107" x 36 background paper ?

A: Yes, the cross bar in this kit can support a seamless paper roll that is 107 inches wide by 36 feet long.
