Thanks for replies. I may get one of these

Are they too small?

Are these any good? I have ordered a speedlight, & brolley with stand. I just need a background, mostly for a home setup to practice but may on occasion travel. Does anyone use these? Do they use a stand or do they just lean against the wall? I'm thinking of a double sided black/white one

What qualification do you get ? I thought this was a module as part of a bigger course

Thanks for this... I need to check my manual now to figure out the metering options
