    Phillip so far your method is the best, and you did it without it touching the floor! I've seen others mopping the floor with it,
    or folding it outdoors where touches and scrapes the ground! Salute to you.

      It's a good way to do it, mind you it doesn't work every single time. Sometimes the metal frame twists, so you need to flip it, kick it, slap it, and then try again, and they it should pop in to place. Odd and quite frustrating design.

    Note that procedure works well for you if you try with the blue side looking out, but, if you try with the green outside doesnt work. This is because the memory. For other people may be this work with the other side.

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  3 роки тому

      You broke it??! How in the world did you do that?? I thought that was a myth, no way you broke it. You probably just twisted the metal inside it, flap it around a little and it’ll pop back into place. If you look at the instructions, you’ll see this is basically the way you’re meant to fold it. Take a few deep breaths and do it again Stacey.

    • @staceyhalbrook9981
      @staceyhalbrook9981 3 роки тому

      The metal came apart! I have folded mine several different times since I've had it. I've struggled with it before and eventually get it folded up. I had been having trouble getting it folded up this time, had been trying for 2 days. This was the first time I had tried folding it this way. The metal actually came apart on one side and I can't get one end lined back up to go back inside the other part and even if I can get it to I don't know that it will stay. One end is very sharp. To get it lined back up it looks like it will be a 2 person job. If I can get it to go back in maybe I can duck tape it and get it to stay, but it is definitely broke!

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  3 роки тому +1

      Folding these things is a nightmare, I've been in some tough spots, but never ever had one break or even hear of one breaking. I've had to twist mine in to shape, do it upside down, backwards, etc, to get it to fold. This way though is no doubt the most universal way, basically every studio I ever shot in or worked in folded these monsters this way. Be careful if it's sharp, best to buy a new one rather than hurt yourself.

    • @staceyhalbrook9981
      @staceyhalbrook9981 3 роки тому

      This version of folding it was the first time I had seen it folded that way and I've looked at several different videos since the time I purchased it. The sides is where it's put together and as many times as I had tried several different ways in the 2 day period it had gotten twisted a bit before I tried this way, so that's probably why it broke. I don't know that I'll be buying another anytime soon. I mainly used it for Zooming with family. If I do I'll wait a while and might buy a smaller one.

      @@staceyhalbrook9981 Yes, mine twisted a few times and I felt that it was a little screwed up inside, so I had to do some crazy gymnastics to get it back into place and safe. There are about 2-3 other ways of doing this, but this one is no doubt the fastest and easiest. These things though, way too big, sometimes it's such a pain and so frustrating to get them back in that damn bag.
