    Im looking for a suitable portable backdrop, (black or white colour only) I will be moving to different locations all the time, so looking for something not to heavy and able fit in back of car. I have been reccomended to use the "collapsible backgound with the train, but it is only 6'x 9' I really need something wider, has anybody used these before and would you reccomended them?
    Or would i be better getting two stands and using curtain instead? I would prefere to use paper, but wreckin it would be too heavey for me to carry and set up on my own.

    Id appreciate any advice
    Thanks

    There are always listings on ebay for backdrops, I was going to get one not so long ago as they are fairly cheap and just buy a set of hanging clips with it. Very portable as it'll roll/fold up to small size.

    I got one recently on ebay for about 50 euros including p&p. If you look under 'photography/Studio Equipment & Lighting' there are usually a good few there. The guy I got mine from (white 8ft X 12ft with hem for hanging on background stand) has his own ebay shop (http://search.ebay.ie/_W0QQsassZchrismartin-ukQQhtZ-1) which has all the backgrounds.
    I also got a stand from www.profilmgear.co.uk for 99 euros (see under Lighting Gear->Backgrounds and Blue Screens).

    I can recommedn both resources for prompt delivery and service
