Want to become the next big Fortnite star but don’t have a professional-looking streaming setup? The folks at Elgato are ready to solve all your woes with their brilliant new collapsible green screen.

Most green screens we’ve used are a pain to deal with, but not only is the new Elgato screen dead-easy to use, it’s pretty cheap, too. The CultCast producer Erfon Elijah has been playing with Elgato’s green screen the last few weeks. It blew him away with features that allow anyone to create an immersive stream instantly.

Take a look at it in action:

Elgato’s portable greenscreen makes it easy for anyone to use camera chroma keying so that the broadcaster is overlayed on top of the game they’re playing. It makes the stream look more professional and can be used in small spaces.

Just set the box behind you, lift the handle, and the spring-loaded frame automatically locks your canvas into place.

The screen measures 58 inches by 71 inches and weighs about 20 pounds.
