    I am getting the Neewer Single Wall roller and this is one of the best actual insight videos I've seen. BTW this was beautifully shot for an instructional video and the chain "wrangler" was a sweet touch. Best of Luck!

    2 QUICK QUESTIONS.... 1) What brand backdrop is that, and is it thick enough to not let light easily pass through it?.... 2) The Velcro - You probably used the adhesive-type velcro on the PVC pipe, but how did you get the velcro to stay on the material/backdrop without coming off?

  • @MoniJohnson

    @MoniJohnson

    3 жыл бұрын

    It's a super-cheap fabric I grabbed off eBay. I'm pretty sure it's not a major brand. It's pretty thin. If I had lights behind it (or even non-black walls) I believe you would be able to see through it (to an extent). I wanted something light weight but more durable than paper, so it worked for my needs. With the velcro, once you have a couple/few layers of fabric wrapped around the pvc/pipe the velcro is reenforced under the weight of the fabric, so everything stays in place as long as you don't let down enough fabric to expose the last few layers above the velcro. I hope that explanation makes sense.

    Man I need some help. I've set up the single roller system twice now, and have come across the same issue. This one time after a week of no issues I pulled down on the chain and the far side slips out and off the ceiling bracket, resulting in a collapse of the whole system. This second time ripped out the anchors on the side of the pull chain. I have a security camera so I was able to watch back and see exactly what happens - all it appears to me is that the aluminum pipe I have taped to the backdrop pops off the bracket on the far side. Have you ever come across this issue? Know what I'm talking about? Need some help. Thank you.

Then fill it with another long piece of metal till the main rod is jammed in. That would give you support in the middle. Tried aluminium tube, that also bends. Think using steel insert is only option.

  • @MoniJohnson

    @MoniJohnson

    3 жыл бұрын

    I originally used velcro so I could remove/replace fabric as needed. I ultimately got a 3-roller setup though, so I simply used some strong, wide tape to attach the fabric. My new fabric is also long enough that I never need to completely unroll it, so there is no risk of the tape coming lose. I may do an updated video about this. Lastly, I changed to 2" conduit because the PVC says under the weight of the fabric.
