What size cyclorama do I need?

The right cyclorama size depends on what you are shooting, how wide your frame is, and how far the subject needs to sit from the background.

For small products, the cyc only needs to cover the area visible to the camera. For large products, vehicles, furniture, groups, or wide camera moves, you need a larger radius and more wall coverage so the floor-to-wall transition does not reveal itself through shadows or hard lighting changes.

Subject distance matters too. The farther the camera and subject are from the background, the more surface area appears in frame. Larger-radius systems make that transition smoother and easier to hide.

Lighting also affects the decision. Smaller radii work best with controlled, even lighting. If you plan to use dramatic, directional, or graded lighting, a larger radius gives the light more room to fall smoothly across the background.

For large products or vehicle work, Pro Cyc’s larger-radius systems, such as the Super 5EZ, are usually the better starting point. Not sure which size fits your room? Request a custom quote.
