Finnhomy Professional Portable Photo Studio Photo Light Studio Photo Tent Light Box Table Top Photography Shooting Tent Box Lighting Kit, 16" x 16" Cube

Pros: 1. The finished light box is lightweight but sturdy. 2. The backdrops are a fairly rigid plastic that feels like they will last a long time (if I can keep from scratching them up during storage). 3. My light box came with a power cord that was ready to plug straight into the wall (no USB adaptors used or needed; the included carrying case should help with that). 4. The light control box has a dimmer knob so you can precisely control how much or little light you want to use. The first time I turned it on, I turned it all the way up...it took 2 seconds to come on, then was immediately so blindingly bright that I actually staggered back a step! LOL I am definitely able to take good photos now even while indoors in a tiny home and at night even! So I'm really happy with the lights. 5. I also really appreciate that the 2 light bars have magnets so you can slide them where you want them along 2 metal strips on the "ceiling" of the light box as needed. You could probably also not use the magnets at all and simply prop them up vertically in the corners of the box or lay them down flat if you wanted other lighting position options. 6. The light box has 2 flaps (one on the front, one on the "roof") that make it super easy to take photos through. Since I bought the larger light box, the front flap is so large I was able to fit my entire upper body through it while putting the backdrop into place. 7. I also really appreciate the carrying case! Though the frame assembly is such a pain that I will probably be keeping my light box assembled even while in storage. Cons: 1. Putting together the metal pipe and plastic corner connector frame for this light box was not easy. The metal poles/pipes are coated and the connectors are a super tight fit. I don't have a lot of hand and upper body strength, so I had to get my husband to help assemble the frame. But once the frame was assembled, the rest of the box's assembly was easy. 2. I wish the plastic backdrops were about 1-2 inches wider so they could drape over the plastic frame once in place...this would add a bit more space to photograph inside without the frame showing in the photos. 3. The light diffuser cloth is basically a thin cloth napkin with metal hooks attached at each corner for you to clip them onto the light box's frame. The hooks can easily slide sideways along the frame once in place though, so the cloth ends up drooping down a bit. For taller objects being photographed, this could cause a problem with the cloth showing up in your photos. But you could use a bit of tape over the hooks to keep them from sliding along the frame for a temporary fix. 4. As others have mentioned, the diffuser cloth does not have a flap in the middle for top down photos through the box's ceiling flap. So you would either have to cut a flap in the diffuser cloth or remove the diffuser cloth if you want to take that angle of photo. Summary: My photos were noticeably improved after getting this light box versus my previous photos taken of the same products without a light box or with a homemade light box. The lighting is great even in dimly lit rooms or at night, the light box is lightweight yet still sturdy, the assembly process wasn't confusing, and the price for the size of light box I bought was great! I will definitely be recommending this light box to my family and friends.

I got this light box for product photos. I own a holster company and my wife is my photographer, so we decided to try this. We did have a smaller light box previously and it was okay. This one is easy to set up, the background colors are great, we usually use black or white though. Haven't tested the other colors very much. The zippers are easy, they never get stuck and haven't broken yet. It comes apart easily, however we did super glue ours together so that it wouldn't come apart. It sits on a raised table and it's been great for the money. The images we get are great quality. It is really nice that the lights are magnetic and you can move them around for your own customized lighting. Great versatility with background colors and lighting.

The light box comes disassembled and packed in its own travel/duffle bag. Assembly is super simple and straightforward. You build a cube out of the metal rods and plastic corners, then cover it with the black cover. The color backgrounds are rolled up and will need to be unrolled and laid out for 5-10 minutes before putting it into the box. The LED strips are very bright on their highest setting. They stick to the top of the box with magnets, so you can move them around to get the best lighting for photography. The inside of the light box is a reflective surface which helps reflect light all around your photo subject/object. I guess it is not the simplest design, but I really like it and the pictures I have taken with it. I took pictures of Master Grade (1/100) scale models; they are approximately 6-7 inches tall. I am glad I decided to get the larger 20x20 box. It can take some work to arrange the pictures so the support poles are not visible. Otherwise you have to do more digital photo editing to crop them out or remove them afterwards.

I've wanted one of these for a while so I can take better pictures of items I'm selling. I probably should have ordered a smaller one, but thought this size would be more versatile. I'm sure once I work with it enough, it will be fine. But so far my thoughts are: 1) Assembly was not the easiest. I think this would be easier for two people to put together rather than one. I didn't have too much trouble putting the frame together. The corner joiners weren't that difficult for me, but putting all the sides together by myself was a bit of a challenge. The hardest part for me was placing the cover over the frame, or more aptly, placing the frame in the cover. Either way, it was not easy. Again, probably easier with a smaller light box or two people. 2) The light bars are easy to install. I like that they are magnetic, they are adjustable in placement across the top inside of the box, and the power supply is adjustable, so you can dim or brighten the light, which I think is an especially nice feature. 3) The biggest problem is the backgrounds. While I think they are very sturdy and likely will hold up well, they are cumbersome and difficult to work with. They come tightly rolled and even though I rolled them up in the opposite direction for a while, they still are sticking to their original configuration, meaning they are no where near flat, or even just sort of rounded. The are determined to remain in a cylinder. Trying to attach them inside the box is a exercise in frustration. The box comes with two little binder clips hanging inside from elastic loops from the top back of the box. For the life of me I can't figure out how these are supposed to work, since the elastic loop goes through both sides of the clips. I guess I could remove the wires from the clips and replace with the elastic through only one wire. But in order to do that, I'll practically have to climb in the box (I'm only 5ft tall!), so that ought to be fun. My arms don't reach that far back. And there's no guarantee that will work. So far packing tape has been the only thing that will hold the background in place. So I think in the long run this will work out fine, but right now I'm still in a learning curve on how to make it best work for me. But as far as these things go, I'd say this is a good value for the money.

This is not your simple pop up lightbox. We got the 24x24 and it comes with metal braces to hold it together. But the braces were easy to get together and the fabric type material was easy to get onto the square made by the braces. The material is good quality and won't tear easily. It came with two led light bars that attach magnetically to metal strips in the top of the box material and it comes with a light diffuser to go over the lights. The colored material used to make the pictures appear to be floating (not sure what this called) was easy to install although we did have to reverse roll it and leave it for the night to loosen the tension to get it in place easier. We took quite a few pictures and liked them very much. If you close the front flap and take a picture through the front hole, the light reflects off the front flap and helps lighten up the back flap so there's not as much shadow. For the price, we were not expecting such a well built and high quality product. Pleasantly surprised.

I have purchased a dozen of these light boxes and none of them have been any good, till now. I paid around $50 for this one and boy, was it worth it. It is strong with plastic tube frame and the best thing is the bright led built into the top of it. Make two push in connections and you are in business with the rotary brightness or dimmer control. I photograph a lot jewelry and Just dial in the Britney’s level you want and off you go. It is quite sizable too. It is easy to take, say, five pictures at different light settings and choose from the computer which you want. Probably one of the best light boxes for this sort of price. Stop going for cheap and buy something decent. This is it!

We had a much smaller version of this but needed an upgrade. So we bought this and absolutely love it! We love the remote and how we can so easily adjust the lighting. The lighting is amazing too. I will highly recommend this light box to anyone!

I bought this for taking photos of my Soaps. (Business). It was pretty easy to assemble. Just make sure all the legs are firmly set into the corner brackets. The lights are really adjustable- from soft, dim lighting all the way up to super bright clear light. Seriously, this gets really bright!! Good value for the money, and comes with a nice carrying case. There were also 5 backgrounds instead of three!
