Home made reflector panels - 11-29-2006, 08:38 PM

A few weeks ago, Don Barnes showed some of us how he put together his home made reflector stands out of PVC pipe. He even supplied us with some handouts detailing exactly what materials were needed (thanks Don!). Some really great ideas. Well I just ran across a web site that has some more great PVC designs, and thought y'all might be interested. Stand-by though, as many of them are quite elaborate.

I made a PVC background stand myself, then ended up just putting 2 eyelets in my ceiling and hanging the 7ft pvc from there with a rope though it so I could lower/raise it.
