Lowel EGO Sweep Table-top Background Support Stand & Colored Paper Backgrounds.

The white background with the clips was useful. However the colored background are just large pieces of construction paper. Not really impressed.

I purchased this item to use in photographing smaller items for an onlinie catalog. it comes with several different color backgrounds and works great.
I would like the stand to be a little more stable, but it is terrific.

If you own a Ego Fluorescent Digital Imaging Light set(s) or you just need an infinity backdrop this one will get the job done. It's very easy to setup, very easy to attach the assortment of papers to give some nice color/contrast to the objects you are capturing. It's also so light you can carry this nearly anywhere and drop and go.

The negatives to this setup is it's fairly cheap. The papers left in light (sunlight) will fade rather quickly. The stand itself is pretty flimsy and has only a little rudder in the back that keeps it standing. It's all made out of some corrugated like plastic.

I don't want to dissuade someone from owning this. I find it quite useful and works very well when you stay in the bounds of its usage. If you need a quick way to get started without a lot of overhead this is a great tool. If you are doing macro work or 1'-ish models, it's great. If you go too large you'll escape the bounds and then need a much larger solution (or a diy backplane).

All in all I've been happy owning this little guy and continue to use it on a near daily basis for the past 2 years.

I mistakingly thought this was a white add on for the mini studio I bought from Amazon 2 months ago, mainly cause Amazon recommended this together with the same studio.

It turns out that this is just a standing cardboard with clips and some colored paper for background. The papers are wider than the cardboard itself, so to use it with the mini studio you have to actually cut the paper to fit exactly in the studio.

There isnt even a bag or a protective case for the paper, which makes it very easy for it to get dirty or damaged.
