Review based on a purchase price of £71.98 in September 2021.
I have a 3 point lighting setup for versatility, but I always found it difficult to get the best lighting when doing product shots. The tutorials I watched on YouTube showed that the best angle is directly from the top but it's hard to do that with free standing LED light panels.
I was quite surprised and impressed when I first set this up and turned it on. The lighting was perfect and capturing great shots using this light tent is easy.
I really like that it comes with everything you need. Not just the power leads and light adjustor, but a nice surprise was the diffuser and the coloured backdrops. It comes with a good selection of backdrop colours and they feel like a good, matte quality finish. They're easy to clean and mine didn't come with any troublesome creases (I have bought a similar backdrop before from ÍøÆغÚÁÏ, and it had creases that didn't come out), but they do have a smooth fold in them, as you can see in my second picture. I initially had a problem setting up the backdrop as it kept flopping down, but realised that the fold is off centre, so when you slip the shorter half into the bottom and long half up the back it's less likely to flop over.
The box is really easy to set up and sturdy once you've had a few rounds of practice. My first go took me around ten minutes as I tried to figure out where everything goes, but after you get used to it, you really can set it up in 3 minutes as advertised!
When packed away it's extremely thin and space efficient as you can see in my picture, but you will need to find a place to store the power and light controls. Also, you'll need a place for all the backdrops too and these will need to be stored carefully as to not get nasty creases on them. It would have been nice if there was an overall solution for storing all of these goodies in one place. I'm not sure what that would be and if it would be possible, but it would definitely have been an even better package if it came with an all in one carry case of some sort.
To sum it all up, I like this light tent a lot. It's a good size, allows me to get great shots, and comes with everything you need. It can be improved with a solution to keep it all tidy.
