🎉 PopPix Setup Guide (2m × 2m footprint)
🖼️ Backdrop Setup
Goal: Backdrop height = 2m, Width = 1.5 m. Booth sits 1.1 m in front. (Think of it as giving your booth a nice personal space bubble).
-
Mark your space
-
Use a tape measure (not vibes).
-
Mark out a neat 2 m × 2 m square.
-
Flat, safe, and definitely not blocking a fire exit.
-
-
Assemble the frame
-
Open both tripod stands. Extend the centre bars to the top and tighten the knobs so they’re sturdy. Place them 1.5 m apart.
-
Connect the crossbars like giant tent poles (listen for the satisfying clicks).
-
Remove wing nuts from the tripod stands, slide the crossbar into the top, then tighten.
-
Loosen the first knob and extend the side uprights by 30cm, loosen the second knob and extend by 50cm. Final height = 2 m.
-
Slip the fabric sleeve over the frame, pillowcase-style.
-
