PROS
-easy to set up
-lots of background colour options (though faffy to place)
-can shoot through the top of the box
-wireless & foldable (very portable)
CONS
-would have been better to have fully matte backgrounds (I am now using paper instead, but I’m lucky to have a lot of it)
-LEDs aren’t all that bright. To make sure you have no ambient light contamination, use in a dark room (or shoot through a black cloth from the front, to prevent reflection of you and your camera showing in the products, or shoot through white, to throw light back in)
-photo number 2 in the product description gives an incorrect description of what “CRI” is. It’s not brightness, nor “grey colour”, rather it’s the smoothness of the spectrum of light produced by the LEDs (lower quality LEDs e.g. might have a “spike” of magenta or green, making those two colours dominant in your photos)
NOTES
-I recommend putting some diffusion fabric over the LEDs, they show up quite prominently in reflective product surfaces
-the velcro attachments for the background sheets are awkward. I recommend using paper anyways
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons
2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros
3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros
4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons
5 exceptional, all (or almost all) pros
