How do I use the pop-up green screen?
The Fovitec Double-Sided Pop-up Green Screen is a 5'x6.5' green screen (with tripod!) that can be used as a background while filming to allow an alternate background image to be added into your video during editing.

How do I assemble the Green Screen?
- Remove Green Screen from its bag and gently separate the layers of the frame. The screen should spring open. You can use either the green or the blue side of the Green Screen, in portrait or landscape orientation.
- Unfold the legs of the Tripod. Then, using the knobs located on the central stem of the Tripod, set stem to desired height, and lock it into place. Turn knobs to the right (clockwise) to tighten and left (counterclockwise) to loosen.
- To attach the Green Screen to the Tripod, pull back on the Tripod Head with your fingers and slip the rim of the Green Screen into it.
How do I collapse the Green Screen?
- Hold the greenscreen in portrait orientation (with one of the short sides on top).
- Fold the top and bottom together, then bring the two outer edges together. The left edge should go under the right edge.
Additional Tips
- Make sure you don’t wear clothing the same color as the side of the screen you are using, or the clothing will later “disappear” into your alternate background
- If you're struggling to attach the Green Screen to the Tripod Head, try removing the Head from the Tripod, attaching it to the green screen, and then reattaching the Head to the Tripod
