Photo background on a budget

Hi,

I have just bought myself a lighting set up the interfit EXD200 with an IR flash trigger.

I am looking for a good background stand preferably with a black and a white backdrop, my budget is around £120 and it must collapse as small as possible. I have seen various offerings on ebay and wondered if anyone had any experience or suggestions.

I am looking to do familly portraits and am restricted to about 2 metres maximum width.

Thanks

Well after much hunting around and considering cobbling somethin together myself I went for a £50 ebay one from China. It seems solid enough and the backgrounds are good enough for what I need.

I was very disappointed by the lack of response from some of the UK suppliers though.
