Hey, gang...

I just noticed that there is a sale (one of their Daily Deals) on eBay for Deluxe Table Top Photo Studio for $34.99 with free shipping. That's 50% off their normal price. I don't think this sale will last long. I've never worked with this before, so I can't vouch for it. Just thought I'd throw it out there! :biggrin:

There are better ones on ebay for aound the same price. I do not see much detail on the size the lamps used and remember it is tabletop.

Thanks for weighing in, John. Having never used this one, I don't know how good it is. I figured I'd just post it quickly since these things don't usually last long. If you don't think it's any good, than by all means, don't buy it! :rolleyes:

I bought one very simular, if not the same. The lights are weak. You also have to get a better background. There is no light for the top of the booth either. This one does have the backgrounds and a tripod, I just wasn't that impressed with mine.

same here. Bulp blew after only being used a couple of time. Lights are weak and get hot very fast. probably better ones out there.

Before you buy one there are many ways to make a cheap version of your own. You can buy clip on lights from Home Depopt and get the daylight bulbs there also. If that is an option. I think there is a tutorial in the library or just google photo tents and a ton of hits come up and also videos. Just a suggestion.

I have one that is the same or similar. I don't use the lights any longer, they ended up turning yellow. I switched to daylight CFL and get much better pics. In fact so much better I need to retake all my pics for my website.

DIY photo tent

I found this article on making a DIY photo tent from PVC and lights from Home Depot / Lowes. I like the idea of the PVC framework instead of cardboard (which most of the google hits listed). I'm thinking of making one.

What's everyone's thoughts?
Are there any similar/better articles that I haven't found yet?

I have this same one or a very close clone. I am like several others and do not us the lights. I purchased three flexible shaft desk lamps on sale at Walmart for the lights giving me one for the top. I have also installed a gray gradient background in it. The booth with these upgrades does a pretty decent job but as someone else posted you could DIY a similar booth probably cheaper.

Edit: Sorry, I actually bought four lights, I also use one for a spot shining into the front of the booth, I forgot about it.
