It's not intended for that though, so you can't really cite that as a criticism!

You'd be better off buying just the cloth set, and some tri-truss.. then you can hang the cloth off the back back of the truss and put your lights on the front bar.

Hmm.. actually.. forget that, the cloth by itself is the same price as that kit complete with stands!

you could prob put lights on top and lower the cloth slightly- not bad for £75 anyway

How'd ya work that out?

The roll is 3m wide. You pay 8.77 a meter (thats £8.77 = a 1 x 3m bit of cloth).

Times that by 3 to get a 3 by 3 meter cloth = £26.31. Now i'd say there was about £50 between those prices lol

I was thinking more on a weight issue that lighting could not be added. But as just a backdrop only then yep seems cheap enough, may as well though make your own cheaper still???

I can't see much saving in putting your own together, so why bother if you can get it all done for you!

Agreed, and it's not like £75 is a massive investment, is it? :p

Nope, but I suppose it gives all something to do, trying to shave pennies off purchases! You would think we were all middle aged women... :p

Could you please be more careful about what you post, I had to really concentrate to understand that.

I'd prefer it if you stuck to 'God', 'The Magnificent' or 'DJ Supreme' ;)
