Softbox Lastolite LL LC6981 chroma key backdrop green 1.8x2.75 m

The Softbox Lastolite LL LC6981 chroma key backdrop green 1.8x2.75 m is a collapsible green-screen softbox designed to provide a smooth, evenly lit background for photography and video production. With a height of 1.8 m and a depth of 2.75 m, the backdrop creates a contained shooting area that simplifies subject isolation and compositing. It is lightweight and portable, intended for use in studios, on-location interviews, product videos and visual effects workflows where reliable chroma keying is required.

Advantages

The softbox construction produces a uniform green surface with reduced reflections and hot spots, helping to achieve cleaner keying results. Its collapsible frame and fabric make it easy to set up, fold and transport, which benefits photographers and videographers who need a portable green-screen solution. The size offers enough space to position a subject with some movement while maintaining controlled lighting within the box.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait and interview shoots requiring chroma key compositing
• Small to medium-sized product video and photography
• On-location webcasts, tutorials and livestreams with limited space
• Visual effects (VFX) inserts and post-production keying

When it may not be suitable

This green softbox is designed for subjects that fit comfortably within its 1.8 m height and 2.75 m depth; it may not be suitable for tall subjects, wide group shots, or large set pieces that exceed those dimensions. It also assumes you can control lighting around the softbox—very bright ambient light or reflective clothing and props can create spill or uneven chroma coverage that complicates keying.

Key specifications

• Color: chroma key green
• Effective interior height: 1.8 m
• Depth: 2.75 m
• Construction: softbox-style collapsible frame with fabric skin
• Portability: lightweight and foldable design for transport and storage
• Surface finish: matte to reduce reflections

How to use

Set up the softbox on a level surface and expand the collapsible frame until the fabric skin is taut and evenly positioned. Place lighting at an appropriate distance and angle to achieve an even illumination across the green surface; use diffused light to avoid hotspots. Position your subject at a sufficient distance from the backdrop to reduce color spill and to allow for depth-of-field separation. After shooting, collapse the frame and store the fabric in its bag for transport.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 1.8 m height and 2.75 m depth fit your subject and framing needs
• Ensure you have controllable lighting to achieve even chroma illumination
• Check for available studio or transport space for a foldable softbox of this size
• Consider wardrobe and prop colors to avoid green spill and keying issues

Usage recommendations

Use soft, even lighting and keep the subject several feet from the backdrop to minimize spill. Prefer matte clothing and avoid reflective accessories. Test exposure and white balance before principal shooting to ensure consistent chroma values across frames, which improves keying results in post-production.
