Hi all i am looking to buy my first backdrop and stands.

Here are the features i am looking for:

  • Good quality stands
  • Quick and easy to assemble
  • Fully adjustable height and width to accomodate tight/large spaces
  • Good quality backdrop that doesnt crease easily(looking for black and white)
  • Easy to clean and maintain backdrop
  • light and small enough to carry around as it will be used on and off location shooting so needs to be a bit portable. i will of course store it in my car boot when traveling but dont want to carry a heavy big equipment over say a flight of stairs so it has to be portable.

It will be used for studio portrait work of a single person either full body shots or head shots

Budget? £200

Thanks
 
If it's just for one person these HERE are very portable
 
Personally I' go with either of 2 options.

most expensive...(& will blow your budget a touch)
Hilite, 6 x 7, look at adding a vinyl train / black cover
Pros.
Quick, easy, slick, adaptable to anywhere
Cons
expensive & requires 2 extra lights if you want to use it as a highlight

Least expensive.
Pop up background & train, double sided black & white - £100

Pros
Quick, easy, slick, adaptable to anywhere, cheap, light..
Cons
not as versatile as a highlight

It really depends on want you wish to offer the people you are taking photos of.
