    Fantasy Cloth?
    It seems too good to be true. I mean, A good looking background for 20$ on Backdrop Outlet?

    I'd consider buying this if it was actually that big and looked good.

    You're link takes me to an index page with many backdrops on it. Is there one particular backdrop that you're interested in? I have never ordered anything from Backdrop Outlet before, but I know a lot of members of this forum do. I would order from them with confidence if/when I decide I need a backdrop.

    I agree with Michael. BO is a legit company with decent stuff for the price. This looks like some sort of clearance sale, and at those prices the merch could very well be worth the risk.

    Keep in mind, though, that fantasy cloth is very cheap material (the original prices on these are only $60, about one third to one fourth the price of a good muslin backdrop), so it's doubtful they'll stand up to much wear and tear (another reason the pro stuff cost so much more).

    Also, looks like they're tie-dyed (as opposed to hand-painted). We recently had this discussion in another thread here, so I won't go into detail. Suffice to say tie-dye is a much cheaper, and cheaper looking backdrop.

    But if it suits your needs, heck at those prices you can get 5 for $100... :thumbsup:

    It sounds the company is letting photographers to vote on what are most welcomed design and offered such good deal for a period
