Looking forward to that background system too. Loved the use of that grid for not missing detail on that gorgeous Gretsch. Thanks for sharing!

[@WestcottLighting]

Glad you like it!

X-Drop PRO is fantastic. I have the smaller version and it is great. PRO is on the list. Excellent video.

[@supremeomegacompany]

Exactly the same question i wanted to ask. Awasome!!!

[@YellowMessi10]

what do you use to show images from camera to ipad? I shoot Nikon Z9

[@Whatreally123]

What's the advantage of the Camranger as compared to the wifi of the camera?

[@wjohnson20]

It looks like there is an air gap at the bottom. How do you shooy full length or don'y you do that?

[@WestcottLighting]

We offer an 8' x 13' sweep if you want full length shots!
