Any reason not to by this? Would use an iPhone Xs on a Mini tri-pod. Thanks for any constructive replies. https://www.amazon.com/ESDDI-Adjustable-Brightness-Professional-Photography/dp/B07DDGGZNT
Thank you.That's the exact one I have and it works great. I think you would be happy with it.

I'm not much help with a phone camera. But if you haven't read Sylvanites articles in the library, they are a great resource for getting the basics and more , well worth the read.Got it today. Set up and ready to go. I realize there is no substitute for trial and error but I need a starting point. Background, low light, etc. I'm using an iPhone XS. Help. Thanks.
I'm learning fromLight boxes/tents can be very useful tools, but they are not a cure-all for pen photography. One still has to get the lighting right.
I'm not a fan of units with built-in lights. They take away the ability to control the amount and direction of the key and fill lights, which (I feel) tends to defeat their purpose. Internal LEDs also create point reflections in any shiny surfaces.

If you are running into problems with focus, exposure, or white balance (et. al.) with your phone camera, there are a number of camera apps (iOS and Android) that will give you all the manual controls (even raw mode) commonly seen on DSLRs. Most are under $10.00 and some are free.I also never was able to get decent photos with the iphone… the lack of good exposure compensation and light balance control in the iphone photo app make product photography challenging (at least for me).
I tried a couple of apps for the iphone and found them lacking; limited functionality, kludgy interfaces made them frustrating to use. Any ios applications that you can recommend? I haven't looked for awhile, and frankly I'm tired of paying for apps that promise more than they deliver.If you are running into problems with focus, exposure, or white balance (et. al.) with your phone camera, there are a number of camera apps (iOS and Android) that will give you all the manual controls (even raw mode) commonly seen on DSLRs.
