Paint three sides grey, 3 sides white. That way you can have a all white or all grey box depending on which way you angle them. A camera can never see more than three sides of a cube (unless there are mirrors/reflections).

I imagine that the cameras are both focusing and then taking the picture when you press the trigger. The result is as others have said the camera shutters going off at the wrong time. Taking the easy option. Just use the 5d3 record raw to BOTH memory cards one of you gets the cfflash, the...

I would suggest getting a piece of non-reflective framing glass at A3 and a piece of plywood the same size. Use that to hold the image flat and wait until you have a overcast sky on a dry day. Put the image outside sandwiched between the ply and the glass. Use a tri-pod for the camera (ideally)...

I have a four roll support system in the studio. It works really well and makes changing backdrop a breese. BUT the rolls will sag unless you put them on a metal tube that will not bend under the weight. I have even tried rotating each roll every day I go into the studio, but they still sag...
