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!!!!!!!!!
I've been folding reflectors for a couple of decades. But never one this big. I watched two videos that showed other ways to fold it up. Neither worked. Yours, however, did! Thanks for posting!
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!
1 minute to watch the essential part of the video, 20 seconds to reach my 2.20x1.80cm backdrop, 10 seconds to fold it, 1 minute to store it. First time I had pulled it out for some corporate work in my studio. Very Grateful for your video, and what a priceless use of 3 minutes ! Thank you @smick
Absolutely amazing, 2 of us struggled for 5 mins trying to get my 2.4m x 2m backdrop back into it's bag a couple of days ago after the first time I used it and gave up, Threw it into the van still up! Watched this video 3 times and 10 seconds later, there it was, done!! Many Many thanks!!
Thank goodness for this video and thank you!! I have a 1.8x2m backdrop. I’m 163cm with short arms and thanks to you have learnt to wrangle the backdrop into submission! 🤣
This worked better than anything I've tried. I have the large Impact 8x16 with tails and was able to close them on the first try! Thanks a MILLION for sharing! Closing these things has ALWAYS been a challenge. YOU'RE THE BEST!
after trying to do the same thing I do with a little one I have, too many times and still couldn't do it, I had to look here on you tube and you were the first video I clicked on, my husband grabbed the other corner and I did it and voila! done on the first time... thank you so much.
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.......
Wow! This is the easiest and shortest vid I've ever seeon on folding these large, oblong ones. Always had a slightly tough time of it but now I'm a pro! Thank you so much! :)
smick.co.uk I completely agree. I tried your method last night with my 57.5" X 77.5" reflector and it has never been so easy! They should canonize you, bud! now I won't have to wince and sigh when i want to use it. And your method works every single time!
Ugh! I have a 8' x 8' muslin green screen popup and I was having a HELL of a time trying to figure this out. I just pulled up this video and you saved me from having a nervous breakdown. Thank you.
Like so many others I wrestled with a large Lastolite pop up backdrop for ages. I wish I had found your video three hours ago, would have saved me a lot of headache. But I found it eventually (obviously) and it worked on the first try! Thank you!
I've watched 17 videos on how to do this. . . . Spent almost a 3 weeks trying and failing to fold this bloody thing. . . . one watch and try after this video and BAM!! Got it! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I’ve struggled so hard with my reflectors, but one watch of your video and I folded them perfectly first time. You have made me so happy!
OMG, Thank you, I have the same model as this and I could not for the life of me work out how to fold it. Nearly knocked myself out a few times. Your method worked first time , instantly. Thank You 😃
I have wrestled with these my entire carreer. Just when I think I mastered it I for some reason forget this easy process. Thanks for the video. Now - can etch this in my brain!
Yes, this is it. I have a large foldable background (1.80 x 2.40 mtr = 6 x 8 feet) and looked at several video's to help me fold it up. But yours is the only that worked!
Thank you! Mine is bigger than this and has long aprons for each of the reversible sides. Haven’t used it for years and had completely forgotten how to fold it back. It’s extremely unwieldily and your video helped me get it back into the bag with no problem. 🤗
Yes, but you were able to explain it in less than 90 seconds. There are others out there that take almost 10X longer and still don't do a good job of explaining it. To be honest I almost skipped past your video because it was so short, but I figured what the hell, I am only giving up a 90 seconds of my time. Turned out to be the best 90 seconds I spent on CZcams yesterday.
I opened up the bag and out came this large backdrop. I wondered how it would ever get back into that small bag. Thanks for the video - problem solved.
Mick, I must’ve looked at 100 videos on how to fold a large reflector. Nothing but nightmares! Within five seconds of watching yours I had mine folded up! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Innerlightuk That is what was bought a smile to my face :-) An hour or so of getting nowhere then your video shows how to do it (and repeat the process to make sure it was no fluke) in seconds :-)
Best tutorial for folding a popup background on youtube.
after spending 1 hour attempting to fold my pop up, I got it in 10 seconds after this video!
i have to watch this video every time i have to put it away 🫶🏻🙏🏻
Been fighting with mine for over an hour now 😂
I am feel your pain!! Fighting with it as well to a point that my wife got upset at me
Absolute legend! I was struggling with a 2m reflector for half an hour - watched this and had it folded down in 30 seconds - lifesaver!
I love how you just get to it, rather than all the needless explaining about why and how you need this!
This is by far the best tutorial on folding this Lastolite background. Thanks a lot.
This was the best and clearest method I've seen. It worked beautifully. Thank you kind sir.

Tony Donaldson Its great you was able to fold with my method successfully, once done it's easy.
thanks Mick. I can now do mine from a wheelchair!
i literally re-watch this video EVERY TIME. LOL. you are my hero!
👍😁
Great explanation. The best I've seen so far for sure
That put an end to nearly an hour of frustration. Cheers for the help!
***** Easy when you know how.
Innerlightuk OOPS! wrong account thanks.

Ive wrestled this more times than i can count. At times ive miraculously figured it out by accident. And then forgot...Thank you my friend.
I’ve watched about 50 videos since mine was delivered this morning. I now know how to fold my Collapsible backdrop 🖤🖤🖤 much love from queens nyc
Thanks so much for this tip.. Use to take like 20 min to barely fold it correctly.. Now after a few times it's done in 10 seconds 💯.
Thank you 👏👏👏
Thank you Mick! Brilliant! i got it in one go!
Absolutely amazing, 2 of us struggled for 5 mins trying to get my 2.4m x 2m backdrop back into it's bag a couple of days ago after the first time I used it and gave up, Threw it into the van still up! Watched this video 3 times and 10 seconds later, there it was, done!! Many Many thanks!!
David Hudson Great you got this result.
You are awesome. I waited until I knew I'd have enough time to try, and using your technique, had it packed at in 3 minutes.
Ur a f**king genius after 3 tutorials and 2hrs of folding u thought me this in 1 min and 18 seconds thank u
Most useful video on CZcams! Thanks!
True !
Thank goodness for this video and thank you!! I have a 1.8x2m backdrop. I’m 163cm with short arms and thanks to you have learnt to wrangle the backdrop into submission! 🤣

👌well done
Great job. The only video that got the job done for me.
after trying to do the same thing I do with a little one I have, too many times and still couldn't do it, I had to look here on you tube and you were the first video I clicked on, my husband grabbed the other corner and I did it and voila! done on the first time... thank you so much.
Wow. Easily the best way I’ve seen to fold these monsters. I think I’ll actually be able to remember this one. Thanks a million!
Glad it helped 👍
Rather than fighting with mine, I've been leaving it popped up all the time. I think I got it now. Thanks.
You deserve an award for this! Thank you so much!! The overgrown thing has been sitting out for years. Thank you thank you. xx
Thank you thank you! Watched a few videos and you are the only one who actually shows where bits go after the initial fold!
Thank you. I watched two other videos, but this one actually got me to my goal.
Thanking you again for this video. Used it 5 minutes ago. The absolute best instructions I’ve seen!!
Well Thanks
Thanks, within seconds I got it right after watching it twice. Been struggling/fighting for at least a quarter on an hour..
Was surprised by how many tutorials I had to watch to find a technique that finally worked. Thank you!
Glad it helped see our latest video for 28% discount for backdrops
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.

Yes! Lifting the arms up was the key. Thank you!
Wow! This is the easiest and shortest vid I've ever seeon on folding these large, oblong ones. Always had a slightly tough time of it but now I'm a pro! Thank you so much! :)
+Jason Bodden So much easier than any other method.
smick.co.uk I completely agree. I tried your method last night with my 57.5" X 77.5" reflector and it has never been so easy! They should canonize you, bud! now I won't have to wince and sigh when i want to use it. And your method works every single time!

That's great news!
OMG, thank you, my wife and I have just had a good laugh trying to work out how to do this. 👍🏻
Wow! Thank you so much. It’s been standing for a week waiting for someone to fold it until I’ve seen your video!
Thanks again
Thankyou!!!
Been trying all day, watched loads of videos, and yours was so easy to follow
Done first time, great technique, excellent tutorial many thanks.
After all of the tutorials I saw today, this one was easiest and it worked. Thank you
Like so many others I wrestled with a large Lastolite pop up backdrop for ages. I wish I had found your video three hours ago, would have saved me a lot of headache. But I found it eventually (obviously) and it worked on the first try! Thank you!

Pleased it worked for you 👍
Thank you so much! I’ve struggled so hard with my reflectors, but one watch of your video and I folded them perfectly first time. You have made me so happy!
You are so welcome!
Excellently explained! And I love that the video is short and to the point. Thanks!
OMG, Thank you, I have the same model as this and I could not for the life of me work out how to fold it. Nearly knocked myself out a few times. Your method worked first time , instantly. Thank You 😃
Thanks for this! Managed to finally get mine folded down after many failed attempts!
Tahnks a lot for your video. Most youtubers show only how to fold a small size backdrop. It was a great help!
I have wrestled with these my entire carreer. Just when I think I mastered it I for some reason forget this easy process. Thanks for the video. Now - can etch this in my brain!
Checked a bunch of youtube vids and this was the first method that worked, Thanks!
Thank you, I was having a bit of trouble with mine today after not using it for a while.
Yes, this is it. I have a large foldable background (1.80 x 2.40 mtr = 6 x 8 feet) and looked at several video's to help me fold it up. But yours is the only that worked!
Great result!!
This is the only one that I can do in one shot!! Thanks again and again!!!
That's great 👌
That is amazing, all the other videos didnt explain it like you. I did it on the first go whilst watching after struggling for 15 minutes
Many thanks sir ! It worked at first try 👍🏼
yeah!!! I can't tell you long I was struggling with this!!! awesome!!
Thank you! Mine is bigger than this and has long aprons for each of the reversible sides. Haven’t used it for years and had completely forgotten how to fold it back. It’s extremely unwieldily and your video helped me get it back into the bag with no problem. 🤗
This was the third video watched and the one that is the most clear. Thanks for posting!!
Brilliant mate your version is the best
Thanks I'll give myself a medal
Thanks! Finally folded it after watching two other videos and not being able to use their tichnique.
I find this is the easiest way to do it.
This is hands down the best technique.
I watched many videos and this was the first method that actually worked. Thanks.
I’m glad this worked for you.
Finally a good video to do this 🙏
I can finally put my backdrop away! Thankyou!!
You are a genius sir! Easy peasy!
Easy when you know how as good as a magic trick
Yes, but you were able to explain it in less than 90 seconds. There are others out there that take almost 10X longer and still don't do a good job of explaining it. To be honest I almost skipped past your video because it was so short, but I figured what the hell, I am only giving up a 90 seconds of my time. Turned out to be the best 90 seconds I spent on CZcams yesterday.
Best method I've found, works a treat! Thanks!
Mick, thank so much for that: brilliantly easy, and for once also easy to remember. 10 of 10.
👍 Thanks
DUDE. Thank you!!! So easy to follow and it worked.
So glad this worked for you
simple, to the point and got it folded just as fast as you did, thanks!
Brilliant
Thank you easiest way yet!!
Thank you SO MUCH for a clear easy to follow and efficient set of instructions. ❤❤😊
Omg I wish I could have the hours back I’ve wasted doing this the wrong way over the years before watching this video. It’s so simple!
Thank you again! I shared your video in some Facebook groups that I belong to. 😊
Thanks! Brilliant! You saved my day!
👍👍
I opened up the bag and out came this large backdrop. I wondered how it would ever get back into that small bag. Thanks for the video - problem solved.
Perfect instructions - got it right away first try!
+impossiblecolor Well done.
Cheers mate, the crew will stop laughing at me now
Thanks a lot, i was fighting nearly half an hour with my big bresser background! However, your video helped me immediatly! 🙂
Mick, I must’ve looked at 100 videos on how to fold a large reflector. Nothing but nightmares! Within five seconds of watching yours I had mine folded up! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Very welcome
so helpful!!! Thanks, never would have figured it out.
Glad it helped.
Fantastic!! The swear-box finally will have spares times :-) Thank you!
Its easy when you know how.
Innerlightuk That is what was bought a smile to my face :-) An hour or so of getting nowhere then your video shows how to do it (and repeat the process to make sure it was no fluke) in seconds :-)
Thank you very much. Struggled greatly with mine until I watched this
Thank you so much I wish I had watched this before making a complete moron out of myself in front of a customer
Saved the day mate!! Only video that actually helped us fold the large version.
That's Brilliant easiest solution that works.
Legend. Not all heroes wear capes!
OMG - finally a video that made sense ! THANK YOU !!! i was going out of my mind
Thank you the quick demonstration !
All heors don't wear capes.
You’re a lifesaver. So easy when you know how. Thanks heaps.
You can now impress your friends
Awesome Mick, simplest way, thanks
I did it! Thank you. This is my 3rd tutorial and I couldn’t follow the others 🙂
Five years later and it is still working, thanks a lot, for me the only way I could force that beast back into its cage.
It doesn't seem that long but it's agreat way to fold large popups.
Worked like a charm - thanks!
This is the most concise and wonderful video! Thank you
I am pleased it was helpful a lot of people have trouble as I did until I discovered this technique
Many thanks, sir..you just helped me get my similarly-sized and first reflector away. :)
+Philip Paynter It's so easy when you've done it.
