Thanks! Even the collapsible ones they have to fold up this small, as far as I've seen. I also wanted something that was less than 8' high so it would fit in most spaces.
We’ve been looking for more portable flags for our high key setup and this is amazing. I don’t have a truck so it was a pain lugging our diy foam flats around. I’ll try this with black foam core too
Amazing. I was thinking build this one after checking the Vflat price. Thank you for your research and time. I was searching for the links for the same setup for the blackboard.
Just found your page! I normally shoot portraits at all sorts of outdoor locations. I want to create studio portraits but be able to set up quickly anywhere. I want to bring the studio to the clients, especially being in the Midwest USA in the winter. It is way too cold outside. What all do I need to have a proper backdrop stand and backdrops
Get a portable backdrop stand and some good lights. Do your research and prioritize for your needs. For me, speed isn't a top priority during a shoot, so I pack a lot of gear along with a cart and arrive early. It really depends on what you're shooting and what your priorities are. Good luck!
Great video - thanks for sharing ;-) I would lobe to know now - after some usage - how do you find they hold up? Would you have done anythings differently / different materials etc.? Thanks a lot in advance ;-)
This is the only way I make v-flats, even for the studio. Hockey tape is CRITICAL and tapping the sides is critical. It prevents warping and edges stay in good shape. They'll last a decade or more of regular use.
Just came across your channel! Love your style and sense of humour. Any suggestions for having black on the other side? Haven’t been able to find black/white foam board in Canada and concerned that paint/glue would warp the board
It would take less than an hour if you're not also trying to film a RUclips video and you don't have to stop mid-build to go pick up your dog because the carbon monoxide alarm is going off in your building.
Even with all the effort I would still rather do this than buy the grossly overpriced VFlatworld joints! Great video!

This was the best vflat diy video I have found very easy to follow and replicate thank you
I'm glad it worked for you!

I wouldn't recommend them for backdrops but they are great for bouncing and flagging light.

Nice! Thanks.

Great video. I will need to make a pair of these
Please can I use plywood and follow the same steps then paint it either white or black depending on which color I want???
Be free man! Do whatever you want!
❤Great! This is awesome! I can’t wait to make one! ❤
😂HOCKEY TAPE😂 Yes! My grandkids play hockey and there is nothing like hockey tape!😂
Sweet! Freaking hockey tape!
Awesome...thank you
Good content.
Glad you enjoyed it
haha that was great! thanks KPR! I'm going to give this a go :)
Thank you Canada 🇨🇦🫡

Your only real option is to order from V-Flat World. Everyone I know just has separate blacks and whites.
@@StudioBuilder ok thanks, might try gluing white and black foam boards together and then following your instructions and see what happens.
That was fantastic. Can't wait to build a couple for myself. What was the total time you figure it took?
It would take less than an hour if you're not also trying to film a RUclips video and you don't have to stop mid-build to go pick up your dog because the carbon monoxide alarm is going off in your building.
@@StudioBuilder Hahaha. That's completely fair. I'm pretty sure I can spare an hour or two to make a couple of these.
Now it's time to create a bi-color version.
We can't get the boards here in Canada.
The tape is not pure white? That will bug me! I hope they make pure white and black.
Spray paint?
I don't use it as a backdrop, just a bounce. Tape colour really not that important in my case.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼🫵🏼 nicely done! thanks
