Help with Background support kit.

[Sapper44]

Hi all I'm trying to get a small home studio set-up.Going down the off camera flash as I have 3 speed lights.Have asked a few questions on this set up but now I need a studio backdrop stand and background material.Have trawled e-bay looked on Amazon have seen several kits.Have seen a few stands its the quality of the backdrops that concerns me really.So it's a question of where to find a reasonably priced backdrop that is of a reasonable quality.I'm limited with space so can't stretch to the 3mtr wide setup have to be around a 2mtr set-up.So any advice would be appreciated.

What bgs do you want?

Pop ups?
Canvass?
Muslin?
Vinyl?


Cross poles can be a problem with home visit stuff. So don't go for 3 section incert poles.

Get a Manfrotto Telescopic. It will fit in any size room.

i would recommend the lencarta background support kit , its pretty cheap, good quality and you can make it as wide as you wish and comes in a nice case for easy storage.

I currently use muslin cloth which is easy for storage but you have massive creases in it.

you can get some 1.3m x 11 paper roll from an online dealer in the colour of your choosing for about £30 and i would say thats a good place to start thats hassle free.
