Amazon's recommended folding photography box usage review

Of course, it's better to have beautiful product photos posted on flea market and auction sites.
The quality of the image can determine whether or not a product sells.
The quality of a product photo can change drastically depending on how the light is cast and how the shadows are cast, so lighting and the background are particularly important.

That said, it is difficult for an average household to have all the necessary photography equipment.
That pointPhoto boothIt is simple to useIndoor light + on the tableThis allows you to take higher quality photos than with a conventional camera.

This time I would like to write about a tabletop photography box that I purchased on Amazon in the hopes of taking better photos, so please enjoy!

Tabletop photography box [Contents]

As usual, the product arrived without any product name or product number written on it, and it made me feel indescribable.

- Flicker-free (no electrical flicker)
・ LED light
・Portable
・For shooting with mobile devices
・Power supply required
・It doesn't take up storage space
It said:
Assemble it into a box shape, attach an LED light, and you can take beautiful photos without shadows!
That's how I felt, so I bought it on impulse.
I wanted something 50cm square, but the only size available was 60cm x 60cm above the 40cm x 40cm size, and I thought that 60cm would be too big for a tabletop, so I bought a 40cm one.
Well, it can be folded up normally, so it shouldn't be a problem.

When I opened the box, I found a few accessories.

The white box contains an AC adapter
LED lights in cardboard boxes
It also contained several plastic sheets for changing the background color.
The packaging is so simple that it makes you wonder, "Is this really okay?"

Tabletop photography box [assembly]

First, start by assembling the main body.
It's a simple design that just requires assembling to form a cube.
The parts are attached using Velcro, but it turns out that it is surprisingly strong and requires a lot of force to assemble.

The outside is a black sheet, and the inside is made of reflective material similar to the silver aluminum that is attached to strobes. It seems sturdy considering the price.

When assembledUbe〇It will look like a backpack.

The front and top covers are there to cover the shooting hole, so they can be removed when taking pictures.

Next, install the LED lights.
The LED light itself is simply constructed, which shows that cost cutting has been achieved.
However, it does have a dimming dial, so it's functional enough.

The LED light, dimmer dial, and AC adapter are separate, so if you're good with electrical systems, you could change to colored lights or brighter LEDs.

The LED light is attached to the top edge.
You can hang it either horizontally or vertically, whichever you prefer!

The wiring is a little exposed and I felt it might be a little dangerous.It might be safer to do some processing.

If the background remained silver, the photo would be too glaring, so I attached a white background cloth.

In this state, the brightnessMaxI tried it like this.

Hmm, it feels like there isn't much light...
The real power lies in the photos taken through the top shooting hole!
So I tried taking a picture through the hole at the top.

Tabletop photography box [Overall review]

I feel like I can take pictures with more light than when I was using indoor lighting, but unfortunatelyThe included LED light was much weaker than expected..
Even if there is a possibility that it may be too bright and result in whiteout, I feel that it is not too bright.
My overall review of the inexpensive tabletop photography box I purchased this time is:

I think it would be a good purchase for someone who can replace or modify LED lights.

Feeling like.
"I want the light to hit it neatly and beautifully." I guess it could be used for that purpose...yeah, I guess.
If you want to take a photo with your smartphone and use it as is, it might be better to just buy a light to illuminate it...
I'd like to use it a bit more and report back if there seems to be room for improvement.
