How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks Great | Some Negative Reviews Are Due to Ignorance | Hope This Helps!
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020
The green screen works well for what it's designed to do. Sturdy and durable to this point. I use it for work mostly since I work in my bedroom and don't want people seeing where the babies are made. I do have a few parting thoughts for the people leaving negative reviews because they simply don't understand.

To all the people that says it falls over: Maybe have a look at the bottom (under the case) of the case and rotate the feet outward to provide the balance it needs to maintain upright.

To all the people that say it's too reflective: You need to adjust your lighting, I don't care how many years of experience you may have in photography/videography.

To all the people that say it's not the right size: Did you even look at the measurements of the screen and compare them to the measurements you need for your use case? If not, that's a shortcoming on your behalf, not the product or the manufacturer.

2.0 out of 5 starsThe material is too bright and reflective, does not work for professionals
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019
The material is too bright and reflective. It does not work for professionals. More than thirty years of experience in television media. I do not understand why so many good reviews. Tried all the possible ways even leaving only one light on and changing all the positions. I had to continue using my old green screen that despite having so many years still works much better than the cat. The only good thing about the cat (el gato) is the stand but the green screen uses a super reflective fabric and does not serve for real professional work. I hope you can offer a version for professionals in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is absolutely wonderful! Finally a green screen that makes sense
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is absolutely wonderful! Finally a green screen that makes sense. My old set-up was a simple green cloth and come PVC pipes, which worked fine for a while but I needed something better and easier since I have a hard time moving around being a disabled veteran. It is a bit heavier than I was expecting but that weight is the only real drawback but since the materials used makes this sturdy I didn't mind at all. Set-up was a serious breeze! All you have to do is position the legs, open it up, then lift. BOOM! Pro level chroma key screen. Plus with the added benefit of it rolling back up into itself, it remains completely wrinkle free! It's perfectly wide and tall enough for a single person, but it folds up small enough to put under a bed. in a closet, or wherever so it's out of the way. I HIGHLY recommend any content creator to get this. And Elgato, you make an amazing product!

2.0 out of 5 stars Clasps are made of delicate material that falls off after second use
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2018
Verified Purchase
The function and operation of this unique green screen is fantastic. But where the product falls short are on the chintzy clasps that keep the cover closed for transport. On the first day I received this unit, the metal part the clasp attaches to, which locks the lid in place so it can be carried by the handle, fell right off. It was then I discovered some genius decided the best way to install these wasn't to mold them, but rather use a 'staple' method. The sides bend from the stress, and they just pop right out. On day two, the other clasp did the exact same thing. Now I have to carry this darn thing around like a baguette, since the handle on top just lifts the lid with no clasps left to secure it down.

Its far too heavy and awkward to ship back for any warranty work. What a shame to take such a great, well constructed piece and then completely ruin it with this 1930's way of using clasps. Whoever designed that part should be forced to carry mine around for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient wrinkle free green screen with portability
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2019
Verified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 I bought this during the Amazon Prime Day sale as I needed a more flexible green screen that can be moved around my home studio along with other parts of the house. I'm impressed. The screen retracts out of a base and extends up to about 5.9 feet. It's about 4.8 feet across.

Given the height it's best suited for seated positions. The screen extends up from the base that sits on the floor so feet will get cut off too. The screen will stay put when it's about a quarter of the way extended but is most secure when it's at the full height.

I'm very impressed with the overall build quality here. Nice, sturdy construction and a very nice green screen with zero wrinkles. It is bulkier and heavier than I expected but that bulk helps with overall protection. It's not a cheap plastic thing but a very sturdy metal design.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly wide enough, nor high quality enough for its price
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is partially my fault for buying something that wasn't wide enough, but given that my use case is no different from most streamers I gotta complain. This thing is not nearly wide enough to put far enough back to cover your entire webcam's shot while also putting enough space between you and the screen so that you don't cast dark shadows on it. Even in 4:3 mode this doesn't cover enough area. You'd have to use a minimum of two of these to chromakey anything more than a closeup of your nose...

Beyond that, even with the stabilizing feet the thing is still a bit wobbly and I can tell the screen material will tear if I accidentally bump into it. For the price I expected better.

This thing does offer good portability but my screen that straps to the back of my chair is even better at that.

I'd rate lower but it's my fault I didn't measure the width I needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A high quality product with a very efficent design
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
I was looking for a green screen background to use with zoom to make my virtual backgrounds look better. The Elgato green screen fit the purpose very well. I wanted it to be easily stored when not in use, in addition to it being a green screen that does the job. This one fits those goals.

I could tell the quality right away. After removing it from it's box, I placed it along the baseboard behind my kitchen table where I normally do my zoom meetings. It's out of the way there and doesn't interfere in the regular use of the room. When I want to use it, I unhook the two latches on the aluminum case, open the lid, and pull straight up with the center mounted handle. It easily moves to it's 6 foot height, and stays there. The pneumatic cylinders that assist in that, work smoothly and quietly. To lower it, I reverse the process and press it down from the center mounted handle until it is completely rolled back up and contained within the case once again. Close the lid, and it's done.

I've seen others mention that the two latches that hold the lid closed, had failed. I'm going to assume that those latches have been redesigned since those reviews were written, because they appear to be nice and solid now.

I've read reviews on look a like green screens, and while some may be perfectly fine, I see lots of reviewers state that the Elgato is the gold standard in these as far as quality is concerned. I tend to agree with them. Elgato is owned by Corsair, a company that makes other products such as computer power supplies, RAM, CPU coolers, cases, etc, for years. They have always been high quality, and I've used their parts many times in my computer builds. I also recently bought a Elgato CamLink 4K video capture board..again that item is regarded as the best of what is available in that category.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It works perfectly, and feels like it will be durable.

Edit: Sept 2021. I've been using the Elgato green screen for a year now, and I'm still impressed with it's capabilities and it's quality. I've carried it to remote events and have had no issues with the strength and reliability of the latches that hold the aluminum case closed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this screen but....
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
The over all quality is good, it is stable and retracts smoothly and I like the screen very much. I thought the width I selected would be fine but I learned it depends on the camera. The height is perfect but the camera I have ( logitech C920s ) has a wide field of view, and where I wanted position the screen the camera would show beyond the width of the screen, so I had to go to close up mode and move the camera around to have a completely green back ground. It is not a fault of the screen, you have to adjust the camera or make your entire back wall green. Aside from that, the lesson learned, you need the 'widest' screen that will fit your room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Was skeptical at first.

I am 6"2' and the photos taken were of me standing up. You are able to get a full body photo with an extra 5-6 inches of room above your head. Though it was in the description and it was an often complaint I heard that it wasn't tall enough for the average 6 ft man. This is a lie. It's plenty tall enough for me. Could be a little wider. Other than that no complaints what so ever. I live in a really small room and this being a roll up item saves me so much space.

3.0 out of 5 stars Latches broke immediately; Still use.
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
This product is pretty cool, it's a lot more expensive than other options but it's so easy to use that I'm still overall glad that I got this for my stream. The only issue I had with this was that the latches that hold it intact snapped as soon as I opened the case. I was disappointed but decided that since I wouldn't be moving much that it was okay. Closing this thing is a pain because of the broken latches. Strong light coming in from behind will show the supporting frame from the front so just make sure there's no bright lights behind the screen. Overall 3/5. Wish it was lighter and built with better material. El Gato makes some good quality products, Although I couldn't in good faith give this product a better review, I hope that the key lights arriving tomorrow will be perfect!
