Neewer® 32x32 inch/80x80 cm Photo Studio Shooting Tent Light Cube Diffusion Soft Box Kit with 4 Colors Backdrops (Red Dark Blue Black White) for Photography

32"x32" doesn't sound that big, but it is. This is way bigger than I expected, but that's a good thing, since it just means it's a lot more versatile and I can fit more things into it than I had originally intended. I bought this to take photos of items I'd be selling online, and I have to say my items certainly stood out as being way more professional than many of the other listings. I can't be sure, but I'm fairly certain that caused my items to sell for more money than similar items with not-so-great photos from their phones or tablets.I set this up using three Canon/YN 600EX-RT speedlites (to the left, right, and behind), but it would probably be a lot easier to shoot with continuous lights for this type of pop-up light tent. Once you get the light adjusted, it doesn't get any easier. Just position your item, take a few snaps, and move on to the next item. It sets up super fast, and you'll have very high quality images as well. It pops out in seconds and folds back up to a very compact size that disguises just how large it is.The only thing I don't like, is I wish it included instructions. There are all sorts of velcro tabs and little hanging loops inside the box that I really have no idea what they're for. I know they're useful for something, just not exactly what. A few of them are for hanging the backdrops, that's easy enough to figure out, but there are multiple others that just seem a bit random. I'm guessing they could be used for suspending products such as jewelry or hanging additional backgrounds in the box, beyond what is supplied. Either way, this is a great value and I love it.

The Neewer Photo Studio light cube is just the thing I was looking for to help me take better photos of small items. This cube is 24"x24" when opened yet folds up into a small little package for storage. When set up the light cube resembles one of the many foldable laundry baskets that are on the market. It's made out of a material that reminds me of a parachute and has rounded support edges. The front panel is open but has a lip which is about an inch wide. This lip is necessary to provide a space for various strips of velcro needed to hold the removable screen you put on the front to complete the cube when needing that diffused light. The removable screen has a slit built in so that when attached you can still put a camera lens inside and continue taking pictures. Included in the package are a storage bag and four different backdrops (red, white, black and blue).The material this light cube is made out of makes easy work of getting decent lighting on the items I'm trying to photograph. There is nearly no glare even in natural lighting. I bought the kit without included lights and have set mine up to use some LED lights I already had. I use three that can shine in from either side and/or the top/back depending on what kind of lighting I need. The material does a terrific job of diffusing the light.There are a few things to note about this light cube and the backdrops. When you first open it the entire cube is a wrinkled mess. I took a small iron to all 5 sides to smooth them out. Two of the panels have velcro on the interior so you can attach the backdrops. Smoothing those panels out actually seemed to help the backdrops lay a bit better, though they are not perfect and still show wrinkles depending on what I'm photographing. Speaking of the backdrops... these come folded into little squares. First thing out of the package they'll need to be ironed. Some people have commented that they washed and then ironed, but I just ironed and they smoothed out nicely.I have not tried to fold this up and put it away since I first started using it. I feel like this will be a challenge as it was a bit of a puzzle opening it up. My advice is to pay attention to how it's folded when you are opening it and try to recreate the folds when putting it away. Or you could do what I plan to do and that is NEVER fold it up!

This seems very good to use and it appears to be made well enough for it's purpose. While this will not be utilized on a daily basis it seems like it will last quite a while. There are two things that prevented me from giving it a 5 star rating and they aren't necessarily things that will prevent it from functioning but are annoyances. Set up was easy since you pull it in a couple of spots and the thing pops open pretty much on it's own. Putting the thing away on the other hand took much longer than I would have thought. I have used these collapsible type items before so I know how to twist them to pack them up. This thing seems to have a mind of it's own when it comes to collapsing it and storing it in the case. That is where annoyance #1 comes in, there are no instructions of any kind to assist someone in the correct method of folding to pack it away. There has to be an easier method for this item! I got it packed but it is trying it's darnedest to jump back up inside the bag. While there isn't room for it to do that it is bulged out bigger than it needs to be. I'm just hoping that a wrong twist will not break one of the spring steel rings inside. Annoyance #2 is the colored inserts that come with the item as backgrounds, they are folded so they are wrinkled as heck. While this again doesn't make it not function it is a pain to have to steam out the creases without melting the material (I believe it's nylon, which is fine). I'm not sure what could be done about this but I usually roll the items like this to prevent creases or at least minimize them (these are pretty long so a fold probably has to be there). Those two thing do not at all hurt the functioning of the device and I would still recommend it to anyone who needs this type of item for there small tabletop photography.
