    After watching about every videos on the subject I ended up following this method like a pastry recipe and I am more than very happy with the result. Not only V flats are hard to come by here (Amsterdam) but they’re also super expensive ( eurozone :-( ) so yes it took some planning and it was a bit time consuming but I actually really enjoyed myself mounting them and the result is about perfect. So thank you so so much for this video, your method is by far the best out there, also a big thank to the comment that mentioned the use of coins to counter balance the gaffer that really helped. I also used a predefined square of paper to help cutting the gaffer tape faster and more accurately. I am thinking of perhaps taping the edges to make them sturdier but I am not sure how this will affect the use of the V flats as background, so I’ll wait and see if that’s necessary. Now I have two beautiful Vflats I am really proud of, and with the 300+ € I saved I can buy some extra gears :-) ! Thank you so much again for this amazing video!!!

      That is the part I’m struggling with, how do you set up the velcro, it goes off camera when you show that part. Would love to know how you do it. The other parts are finished and it’s awesome! Thank u for sharing this video!

    i’m going to build two of these this weekend, and i suggest placing the weaved tape in between the black and white boards, and reinforcing with strong glue so the hinge tape seam will be hidden and also not peel. i believe this edit or amendment is worth of a note to this video. but as many have said, this is the best tutorial available. thank you.

    Hi Nicole, thanks for your tutorial. I followed your instructions and the result was perfect. Your help was not only useful but essential. I would like to add a few tips, if I may: when placing the tape on the bottom part to after join the top part, I put coins on the tape as a counterweight to help easily separate them; and then
    I used a tripod with a clamp to hold the top part of the foam board (I put cardboard between the clamp and the foam board to avoid denting).
    This is almost a miracle considering that I am not very skillful :-)
    Again, thanks to you I now have two really cool V-Flats ;-)

    A million thanks! This is absolutely the sturdiest and most versatile design in all of TH-cam! Much better than using a single strip of tape to create hinges.
    You've saved me $350 (2 sets of V-world V-flats are about $400!). And I'll definitely be buying all the products with your affiliate links, that cup of coffee is much disserved! 😁
    Could you explain how you installed the velcro strips though? That area was not visible in the video. Sry, I'm all thumbs when it comes to crafts 😅
    Also, compared to portable dark flags that come in reflector kits (for negative fill), how good are the dark panels? In the video, they seemed to be reflecting a bit of light.
    Thanks!

    • @NicoleBedardPhotography
      @NicoleBedardPhotography  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
      As for the Velcro, I purchased sticky back Velcro and added one to the very top to make sure the gap was minimal. I later added one to the bottom of the top section.
      The black panels are pretty close, but it depends on shooting environments etc.
      Happy this video helped!

      @@savvicreationz4367 Sorry for any confusion. If you have two pieces of the tape, reverse one. So one will have a sticky side up and the other will have the sticky side down. The middle, where they attach to each other, will not be sticky on top or bottom. The middle is what will rest on the foam, while the sticky side attach to the face of the boards. I hope this helps!

    1- great clean work. Nicely done
    2- not sure if I’d do this only because adding the time and effort (and the uncertainty of making something new from scratch) will make the cost savings not worth the pain.
    They seem to be listed for $370 for 2 ($180 each) so $107 plus the time and effort come pretty close to $180
    Still if they were like $80 i would def have made it your way

    I’ve watched many diy videos for v-flats and this is the method I will use when I get the materials in. I’m wondering how well they are holding up now that it’s been over a year since the video was made. Does the gaffers tape still stick? Some of the videos show them adding spray adhesive to the gaffers tape, which looks like a pain to do. I’ve found a Canadian supplier that sells 32”x40” 3/16” thick foam. My studio is small so I think I’ll be content with 64” wide and 80” high.

    When taping the hinge you held the boards vertically. They seemed to be basically touching each other with the edges flush.
    Do you need to leave any space at all to ensure they can hinge successfully?

      ​@@NicoleBedardPhotography Suggestion. when you set up your camera and flash be sure to set your shutter fast enough to block out most if not all ambient light then set your flash to just light you. That will separate you from the background and ensure the background is black even with the tape so you don't need to do post work on the background. Sit further from the background and have your light as close to you as possible and setup so the light does not spill onto the background. Works well. You do know you can make an all black background with a white back. :)

    Will the flaps fold either way? You folded the black onto itself each time you folded it, can you fold it the other way too (fold the white onto itself)? It looks like it might but I want to make sure before I use this tape method since one of the nice things about the commercial branded version is the ability to use them in a variety of different configurations (upright, table top, black side up, white side up, etc.)

    Hi there! I have one polyboard from an event, and i want to make it hinge. Do you think it'll still stand in its firm if it's bent in half? Like it isn't a v flat shape, just a single sheet with a cardboard stand. Do you think it'll stand without folding over? It's too big to carry in my car so I want to cut it in half. Thanks! I hope I'm making sense

      Hi Shea. Are you folding it the long way, like from the top to the bottom for the board forms a V on the ground? That would stand up for a bit, not sure if that helps with fitting in the car.

      @@NicoleBedardPhotography yes id do it from top to bottom so it goes from rectangle to square. But id want to unfold it so it stands straight up. I'm concerned it'll bend again. Do you know if this method will keep it standing or have any advice?

    Is there any way to hide these hinges also ?
    Another question is these Hinges become very loose in very short time ( gaffers tape)
    Any suggestions ? Thanks

      Hi. The best option is to take a long strip of the tape and cover over all the individual pieces. They haven't come loose for me. Gaffers tape is pretty durable stuff.
