What I use mobile (usually) is same bg as kundalini, but I set mine up a bit differently (2 stands + gaffer's tape on floor):

My studio. I prefer landscapes...

We bought wire with wall mount from IKEA. For like 12 bucks. Goes from wall to wall in our living room. I then bought white muslin from backdropsource.com or something like that. I then use the clips from IKEA to hold it. Still working on how to make it smooth and actually shooting portraits.

What is that? What does wire mount on?

Sorry for the delay in response. Didn't realize you had asked. Need to set my account to get emails when people respond. But yeah, if you are asking what IKEA is. Its a large Swedish based store that sells a bunch of home furnishings. If not then ignore that. The wire mounts to the wall and stays up permently. I plan on using it to hang photos from at some point.
Sorry for the quality of the photos but this is my studio and the wire attached to the wall.

Just starting out but I like how it works so far. Can put up any size background I want. To get families or kids moving around.

Ordered this today, so this should help me out considerably as I build up my setup.

I used king size black sheets from WalMart and works well. Many creative ways to attache them. Look up DIY on net on how to make your own background frames and how to attach them. On my wall I use small thumb tacks just below the ceiling on the wall. No one notices a few small holes there. I have used two 6 foot ladders and attached with clips. I buy the clips from Home Depot for $0.99 cents a piece. Some items you have to buy, but I enjoy creating my own props and backgrounds.

How long to set up and break down your studio?

...How long to set up and break down your studio?

'bout 20 minutes to set up, and anywhere from 15 to 30 to tear-down depending on whether I sort and put everything away there or throw it in the truck and do it at home.

That is pretty quick!

PS...some nice pano at your site tirediron!
