FGen Backdrop system plus four lamps, two softboxes, two umbrellas review

A hundred and sixty-six euros for three cotton cloths, a 2.6 by 3 m stand, four lamps, two softboxes, two umbrellas, a reflector and two sandbags — the only backdrop page here that also lights the subject.

The bottom line Three cotton cloths, a 2.6 by 3 m frame with sandbags and clamps, four lamps, two softboxes, two umbrellas and a reflector for 166 € — the only page on this shelf that lights what it backs. The bulbs cannot be adjusted, the frame publishes no load, and the first bullet is about parts that do not arrive.

On the listing

Six bullets. An opening bullet marked important, explaining how to report missing or damaged accessories with a 24-hour reply promised, stating that 2.6 by 3 m is the size of the background stand while the cloth is 1.8 by 2.8 m, and noting in parenthesis that the bulb is monochromatic and cannot be adjusted; brighter and softer light from two 135 W bulbs and two 85 W LED bulbs; a 1.8 by 2.8 m wrinkle-free cotton green screen set in three colours — green, black and white — compared with muslin, paper and plastic backgrounds for fewer creases and no transparency, in 100 per cent cotton, easy to wash and to steam-iron; a complete 2.6 by 3 m background system with two sandbags to steady the frame and four spring clamps to fix the cloth, in sturdy aluminium with adjustable width and height, named for weddings, parties and photography; a softbox set with four light stands in aluminium adjustable from 64 to 200 cm, with a 2.5 m mains lead; and a full contents list of two 50 by 70 cm softboxes, two 84 cm white studio umbrellas, four 200 cm stands, two 135 W CFL bulbs, two 85 W 5500K LED bulbs, two E27 lamp holders, three 1.8 by 2.8 m cotton backgrounds in black, white and green, two 260 cm background stands, four 80 cm crossbars, a nylon bag, four spring clamps, a 5-in-1 reflector, two sandbags and a manual.

Twenty-odd pieces, one of which is a backdrop

This is the only page on this shelf that sells light along with the cloth. Six others sell fabric, and two of those sell a stand. Here the background is one item in a list that includes four lamps, two softboxes, two umbrellas and a reflector.

Cotton, argued against muslin, paper and plastic

The third bullet names its competition by material and claims fewer creases and no transparency. It is the only cotton on this shelf and the only page to make that comparison.

Two sandbags, and no load figure

Sandbags are what stop a 2.6 m frame going over. What the frame will carry is never stated — the 80 € EMART on this shelf publishes 8 kg and is the only page here that does.

Two hundred and sixty centimetres of stand, behind a cloth of two hundred and eighty

The cloth is longer than the stand is tall, which is how the floor gets covered. The first bullet separates the two numbers because the title does not.

The bulbs cannot be adjusted, and the maker says so first

Not in the fine print: in the opening bullet, in brackets. Four lamps, two technologies, and the only control is distance.

Availability

Between 166 € and 190 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all, so the button for that country runs a search instead of opening an entry that is not there.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

What it does well, and what it gives up

Strengths

  • Three cotton cloths, four lamps, two softboxes, two umbrellas and a reflector in one purchase
  • Two sandbags and four spring clamps, on a 2.6 by 3 m aluminium frame
  • The only opacity claim on this shelf besides the 15 € Wusboo, and the only cotton

Compromises

  • The bulbs are monochromatic and cannot be adjusted — the maker says so in its first bullet
  • No load capacity for a frame carrying four crossbars and three cloths
  • A first bullet about missing parts, and a set of more than twenty pieces to lose them from

Specifications

Material100 PER CENT COTTON, in the third bullet, which compares it directly with muslin, paper and plastic backgrounds and claims fewer creases and no transparency. It is the only cotton on this shelf: three pages here are polyester, one a polyester-cotton blend, one card, and the 80 € EMART names no fibre at all. The intro above says cotton creases freely, which this page disputes in its own words
DimensionsTwo sets, and the first bullet exists partly to separate them: the support system spans 2.6 by 3 m, and each of the three cloths is 1.8 by 2.8 m. A stand wider than its cloth is the normal arrangement — it lets the fabric hang with slack — and the page says so because the title advertises the larger figure
Creasing behaviourClaimed low, on the strength of the fibre: the third bullet calls the cotton wrinkle-free, easy to care for, easy to wash and steam-iron. No temperature is named, where the 26 € NEEWER on this shelf caps steam at 40 °C and the 27 € Vevelux allows 150
Support systemINCLUDED, and the largest on this shelf: two 260 cm background stands, four 80 cm crossbars, four spring clamps and TWO SANDBAGS to steady the frame, in the fourth and sixth bullets, in aluminium with adjustable width and height. No load capacity is published — the 80 € EMART is the only page here that rates its stand, at 8 kg
Mounting methodFour spring clamps, named in the fourth bullet as the way the cloth is fixed. No pole pocket is mentioned for these cotton cloths, so the clamps are the method and not a supplement to one
OpacityClaimed: the third bullet says the cotton backgrounds are not transparent, unlike the muslin, paper and plastic it compares itself with. One of two opacity claims on this shelf, beside the 15 € Wusboo
CleaningEasy to wash and to work with a steam iron, in the third bullet

What people ask before they commit

Why does the first bullet explain the two sizes?

Because the title advertises the larger one. Two metres sixty by three is the span of the stand; 1.8 by 2.8 m is the cloth that hangs from it. The bullet states both, and it does so in the same breath as its instructions for reporting missing parts — which is an unusual place to correct your own headline.

Does cotton really crease less than polyester?

The page says so and the intro above says the opposite about muslin, which is also cotton. What is true either way is that cotton takes a steam iron at a temperature that would glaze polyester — the 26 € NEEWER on this shelf caps its own steam at 40 °C — so a cotton cloth can be flattened properly rather than cautiously.

What is not adjustable?

The bulbs. The first bullet ends by saying they are monochromatic and cannot be adjusted, which is the same sentence the same maker puts on its softbox kit elsewhere on this site. Four bulbs of two kinds — two 135 W CFL and two 85 W LED — and the only control over any of them is where the stand is put.
