      Thanks Nick! Knowing your workload is mostly RE and Commercial portraits the WC Xdrop surely should fit you best

    I just bought my Wescott XDrop to replace two heavy C stands as my portable backdrop.
    Much lighter and compact that my previous setup - fantastic product!

    Good informational video, but one genuine question: Why would I want to use a backdrop vs a solid color wall that I can change in post? (beyond the whole "get it right in camera" idea)

    • @shootwithray
      @shootwithray  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks! The backdrop is there for on location shoots that have textured walls or crappy walls

      @@zdarkophotography I’ve done some amazing headshots on plain walls at clients offices, but wainscoting and wall dividers don’t make it easy hahahah. So I guess that’s where the XDrop of any backdrop comes in handy. Always appreciate your support man! Thanks

    i got the xdrop pro and it's definitely not wrinkle free. there's still creases in it. i spend more time in lightroom bluring that out.

    I like it but it does take up space on the back end of it.

    • @shootwithray
      @shootwithray  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s true. However did you know you can take the leg on the bag and slide it up and then lean the whole setup against a wall? To conserve space
