Not quite what I expected.
Voluntary review of a product that I purchased and paid for.Shooting tent has been delivered in a safe professional manner within promised time frame…And that’s about all, of positive things, I can say about it.First of all: the tent. Foldable (as shown on pictures), size matching description (it will allow to photograph large objects), no defects. What’s annoying only 3 pockets to accommodate all included equipment.Doesn’t matter if I disassemble lights or not, it’s impossible to fit all four lights, tripods, power adapters, light filters, camera tripod and mobile phone clamp in these pockets. User must find other means of safe storage for mentioned equipment. Something like a medium/large padded backpack or a foam padded storage case.Lighting: four light rings on a hard-plastic tripod, with light filters. Providing good artificial light for photo shoot. Adjustable angle, easy to disassemble for storage or modification.4 Colour Backdrops. From the pictures posted by customers who bought this item I thought that I will get nicely rolled, fabric backdrop matching colours shown on pictures posted by the seller.Couldn’t be farther from the truth.My parcel contained 4 plastic sheets with a Velcro fastening strip. Blue colour is nothing like the one shown on the pictures. One delivered to me is more like a light Sky Blue than shown Navy Blue.To add more pain mentioned backdrops arrived not rolled but folded!Seriously? It’s a plastic sheet.I’ve consulted an engineer (gentleman from a printing company I work for) and he advised me to put these sheets in to a tube, and leave it for about 3 weeks.Unlike the seller, he provided me with cardboard tubes to try and recover backdrops from damage. I was also advised to put some heat treatment (he recommended hair dryer on a low or medium heat for approximately 15 minutes for each sheet), but I haven’t done that yet. Purchased and received in August ready to use in October… fold mark is visible to this day.Camera tripod. More like a stand than a functional camera tripod (please refer to the pictures shown by seller). Very limited range of camera angle and not really stable when not using remote shutter. If you don’t want to spend photo shoot in a sniper’s prone position (that tripod is only 10CM high) you need to build some stable base or use instead proper, height adjustable camera tripod.Summary:All in all product received is a match to product advertised (minus backdrop sheets). Good for home/studio use, far less handy when you must be mobile for on location job. I would not buy it again if need one. Price (I believe) is too steep.

Great light box
This is a great armature set up. The light box itself folds out of its nylon travel case via a nifty design, which saves a lot of space. The package comes with 4 bright LED lights complete with stands and plugs with 3 different colour filters to change the brightness also included is 4 different coloured backdrops (these dont seem wide enough to fit the light box which is why 1 drop one star) and a stand for your camera or mobile phone. Overall, the quality of this product is very good, the plastic used seems sturdy enough to last. I have been using this to photograph items for my online store and the setup has given the images a professional feel. If I was, to have one negative point it would be that I couldn’t fit everything into the nylon pockets when packing it away but this is only a minor issue.

MISSING FILTERS
Looks like great value for money - if only all the bits were in the box !I can't be bothered to repack everything and return it - but I'd be very grateful if the seller could sent me the 3 colour filters that are missing !Many thanks.

Ideal for product shoots
Good size tent with plenty of room to work in. Lighting is very good. The picture is as I left it from where I had used it the night before.

Good for artificial lighting
This is a really good light tent for how much I paid. It is so simple to set up and fold away again because of how lightweight it is. It does just what I wanted it for, which was to reduce reflections and provide a more evenly distributed light source. With this tent all of the light rings can be positioned wherever around the tent and the item can be lit up evenly from all angles. It comes with some other coloured cloths so different background landscapes can be photographed. Well worth the money just for the extra ring lights and accessories provided.Hope this helps

good
This tent is so easy to assemble, that alone makes it worth the extra few pounds compared to cheaper options. Although the lights are fixed, I found the space is big enough so you can manipulate lighting, so I managed to achieve the above image by using black card to block out one side of the tent and then a small flash light on the other side. The lights alone don’t make for very creative lighting, but for basic product photography it is very good, and with added lights I think shots can be made to look a bit more dynamic.

Insubstantial and flimsy
First of all, I realise that there may be something missing from the product as I was sent it.My problem is that the box is incredibly flimsy and not really stable. It needs, at the very least, something to attach at the bottom at the front to help stabilise the structure.It is usable, but it is not pleasant as it sways around and always feels on the point of collapse.I will probably glue some Velcro to front at the bottom and make a cross member to help stability.For the price, I could not recommend this product.

versatile and portable photo box
This mini photo box has everything I needed. I have a lot of small items to photo. This has some really nice features, first of all it is very easy to install and pack up. So if you don't use it, just fold it into its bag. Then you have a few background options, very good for different variations. Lights are bright and adjustable and can be set to any angles you want.
