I went through months of not knowing how to do this. I've had to rest the whole thing on a wall, which obviously took up so much space. I saw videos on how to do it and every video was so confusing and I kept giving up. I even had multiple people trying to do it. Then, I came across your video and I folded the backdrop in a matter of seconds. You saved my life, thank you so much!!!!! I am so happy!!!!!!!!!

Like many others, I have not been able to do this without a LOT of work, I have watched over 8 different people doing it, note, I was looking at the 6X7 Manfrotto Hilite box as that is what I had, but I just got a 6X7 backdrop and needed to do the same thing. I opened it, tried for 30 minutes and gave up. Just before going to sleep, I searched for folding 6X7 reflector and you were at the top of the page. Your method worked right away for me. I did it 3 times in nearly no time at all. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Thanks Mick . Of all the ways you can fold a 150x 200 pop up screen . Yours is the only one that worked. I'd been struggling with it until one of the pop rivets snapped and I had to repair it. I was very nervous folding it the second time , but once I saw the way you folded yours I copied it exactly and it folded perfectly and is now back in it's bag . Thank you so much.......
