Setup is super easy, but I would advise two people for setup to help keep the white screen off the ground. Blower is plenty strong to hold it up, just make sure the tube to the frame isn't twisted closed. And always make sure you use all the stakes it all down, just in case. I've had this up in light wind without any issues. But as with any big wind wouldn't be kind to a large screen, so keep an eye on it. I looked around for a while and I love that this doesn't have velcro to attach it to the frame. Just adjust the plastic clips for a tighter screen, just not too tight. We found it easier to open up the frame attach the screen turn on the blower and pop it up right when it has enough air. When you go to put it down, hold down the front unstake it and unplug the blower. Hold on to the screen and help it falls backwards and remove the screen. The screen does get creases but these don't show when you watching a movie. The screen is very heavy duty and is black on the backside. This is not for rear projection. But I have street lights behind the screen and the light doesn't show through at all. Fold up the screen separately from the base to make it easier. I agree with others that the bag is a tight fit for packing, I just bought a storage box from Costco to keep it all safe in.
As for my outdoor setup here's what I have
See projector link below. I have hooked this up to a sound system and get beautiful picture and setup is so easy. Please note, the video shown in pictures is DVD quality 720p. A blue-ray would provide an even better picture. The blur in my pictures is only due to low light for my phone and movie wasn't paused. Please note that if you use the audio out please get another AV audio cable. The one provided is for two audio out and video. It will cause a buzz noise if used with external speakers. So get an AV cable with only the two (red and white) connections for audio. Hook it up to a receiver and get some speakers and your set. I have used this to play MP4 video files from a jump drive (32gb). No issues playing at all. The picture is bright and if used indoors you get a good picture during the day with just closed blinds. You can watch movies outside shortly after the sun sets.
For outdoor purposes I actually used this ceiling mount

And connected it to a Pistol grip tripod with a ball mount. Makes it possible to get a perfect picture even on uneven ground.

I didn't have to buy extra parts for the mount you just have to rearrange the setup to get it to work. Don't forget to tighten up the hex screw on the tripod for a firm hold with the projector on it.
With this projector, you need to be about 16 feet from the screen about 4 feet from the ground.
