Bestshoot 24" Portable Photo Studio Shooting Tent Light Box Cube Diffusion Softbox Tent with 4 Colors Backdrops (Red Dark Blue Black White) for Table Top Indoor Outdoor Photography

This has really helped me step up my product photo game. It diffuses light well so I can take photos of shiny, glittery things without just getting an incomprehensible photo of some glare. Good value. Be warned that if you have cats, you're probably going to have to shut the door while you use it, unless what you're trying to take photos of is your cat.

The 24" size is very workable. I use a white wooden necklace stand and metal earring stand, both purchased on Amazon, and there is plenty of room for placement, either on the stands or flat on the base of the tent. I haven't used the front flap. I use my phone camera either inside the tent or using a telephoto setting from outside it. I generally use two long-arm desk lamps with 100w equivalent LED bulbs, one on either side, and get beautiful flat, low-contrast light. The white background makes color correction easy, and I just move the lights a bit farther away for highly reflective items like pearls. I'm astonished with how easy it is to get professional-looking photos with this minimal equipment. There is never enough light in my house and not enough sunny days for 9 months of the year to use natural light. Now I can shoot any time. It took me a few tries to optimize the lamp placement, but now it goes very quickly. No more spending hours in photoshop! The included background cloths are nice, but I would choose other colors than the ones sent if I had a choice. I can't overstate how happy I am that I got this.

For it's price, you're getting a completely functional light tent. There are a lot of mixed reactions to the backdrops, and I have to say that they are nearly useless. You will have to iron them, but even after ironing small creases will start to appear naturally as the backdrop moves. It is impossible to avoid the creases, and they are also too transparent to be good. Even with controlled lighting, I was seeing the light tent's creases through the backdrop. I almost wish they would just remove the backdrops from this product and sell the tent at a lower price. But the tent is a nice size and build!

The material ripples on both sides of the base. That can be seen in photos. Having to attach the front panel by Velcro is somewhat difficult.

It DID come FOLDED up, like it was made of FABRIC or something. It HAD WRINKLES, and CREASES that I was totally able to steam out. It's almost as if I'm an adult and expected a cloth product to need to be cared for as such. It's flexible, and cloth, so it's as stable and sturdy as a piece of fabric with thin plastic boning in it is expected to be. It's not lit, so you provide the lighting, but a desk lamp on either side provides plenty of light for pics It's pretty much already assembled. The different backdrop options are Velcro mounted, so a kindergartner can use it with success. I'd buy it again. I still can't believe people deducted stars because of the wrinkles. Seriously? Velcro shoe wearing...

I sell a lot of stuff on eBay. My mother ran an estate sales business for years and has accumulated a ton of stuff and we've been working for years to sell it all off. I use this almost daily and coupled with the right LED lamps, this thing is great. While I do sometimes run into size limitations, this toes the line in being not too big that I have to break it down all the time, but large enough to photograph 95% of what I sell. The different background colors are really helpful and changing them out is easy. I've washed the white one a few times and it's holding up well after a year and a half of use.

I’ll be honest, I got this to hide our cats litter box and contain the dust in one of our closets. It’s perfect. The front just Velcro’s off to change the litter and she steps right through the slit to use it. Exactly fits our standard box size. Would definitely recommend for that purpose anyway!

Reading the reviews for this type of diffusion tent, I almost decided not to buy one. There are several offerings with different manufacturer's names on them; but they appear to be essentially, if not exactly, the same. So, I purchased least expensive offering. There are 3 complaints that resonate through the reviews. One of the complaints addresses the folds in the colored backdrops. All one has to do to alleviate the folds is, carefully, iron the folds out. Using , at most, the silk setting on a no-stick steam iron, the folds disappear with a perfunctory pressing. The second complaint has to do with the process of folding the tent to take advantage of its portability. Oddly enough, there's no way to explain how to fold it. However, there are videos on YOUTUBE that display a demonstration on how to fold the tent. Just follow the instructions....don't try to figure out what takes place...just do it....it works! The last complaint concerns the property of the tent being too diaphanous to adequately suppress the shadows. I haven't utilized the tent enough to make an effective statement concerning that attribute. However, I can state that if you want to make this apparatus work to your advantage, you can find a way. I recall making things of this nature from whatever was available....including shower curtains. What would you do if you had to apply photosensitive emulsions to glass plates? Stop complaining and use your intelligence. Try studying the history of photography. If you're open-minded, it may help you. Nonetheless, I really like this product!
