Manfrotto Urban Collapsible 1.5 x 2.1m background
Manfrotto's collapsible backgrounds allow you to take your studio anywhere and do away with worrying about what's going to be behind your subject. When folded down into its circular zip-close fabric case, this background measures under 90cm and weighs around 3.6kg, making it easy to transport in a car and be carried to the shooting location.
The background has a similar design to Manfrotto's (previously Lastolite's) reflectors and diffusers with a flexible steel rim that enables it to be popped open for use in a matter of seconds and then twisted and folded away for transport - it sounds complicated, but there's a knack to it.
When it's popped open, the background measures 150cm by 210cm, and the polyester fabric is held wrinkle-free, which makes it perfect for head and shoulder, three-quarter or even full-length portraits.
Helpfully, the backgrounds are double-sided with different designs, I tested the White/Industrial Grey Brick version.
