I bought a similar greenscreen. Love the pneumatic struts. Makes setup and teardown really quick. Unfortunately while shopping around, I wish I'd noticed that there was an even wider size available. Because you don't quite expect how its width "shrinks" when set apart from the back of your chair, it winds up fairly narrow (as you showed in your video). Consequently, as you move the screen closer to your chair, it will likely wind up with your room's overhead light BEHIND the screen, unable to provide much illumination on the front of the screen. I have a ring light, but that doesn't illuminate my screen behind me very evenly. I also have some LED desk lamps I've recruited into screen Illumination duty behind my chair, but they don't provide the kind of brightness that seems to have any meaningful effect. Sooooo... Now I'm staring down some hidden costs of getting some additional bright lighting rigs with the side effect of not only additional financial expenditure and clutter but also making it fairly toasty at my desk.
Yeah that's a very good point. I have a large ring light that I could use to light it, but the width is still an issue. Maybe have to get a different camera lense.
