Easy set-up, excellent quality results
By greentomato on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017
Upon receiving my delivery of the AmazonBasics Portable Studio, within the first five minutes I was shooting excellent product photos. I'm not at all exaggerating - the set-up was incredibly easy-breezy, and the light emitted inside the box is perfectly balanced and positioned. I read some of the reviews posted by others that mentions the crease in the backdrop (or sweep) but I am not at all bothered by this, as it is incredibly subtle and can be easily edited out if it really bothers you that much. The backdrop is manufactured of a heavier vinyl-ish material - it seems this probably allows the backdrop to remain smooth and mostly wrinkle-free when the studio is folded up stored. For reference, I should mention that I had previously purchased the following items as my product photo studio solution: LimoStudio 16" Folding Photo Box Tent LED Light Table Top Photography Studio Kit StudioPRO 675W Triple Translucent Umbrella Continuous Bright Lighting Kit for Photo, Photography, Film & Video Studio - (Set of 3) Cowboystudio 33 inch Photography Studio Translucent Shoot Through White Umbrella KAEZI 45 Watt Studio Grow Light Bulb Compact Fluorescent 5500K CFL Day Light Bulb (45 Watts) My former set-up (the LimoStudio tent) came with four sweeps (white, black, blue and red), which I initially thought would be useful, but in the end, I only ever used the white sweep, which collected dirt very easily and was made of a cheap material that I found impossible to clean. The LED lights that came with that studio did not diffuse correctly and basically emitted a spotlight effect from whichever angle they were positioned. I then purchased the StudioPro umbrella kit to solve this problem - these took up a ton of floor space, and in my two-room apartment, such a thing was exceedingly inconvenient. Even after all of the additional items I purchased and the incessant tweaking I did, I was not happy with the quality of my product photos, and my studio set-up had taken over my life. Ultimately, my experience, spending hours with all of these former components proved nothing but frustrating, and futile - they didn't come close to the ease of use and the immediate-high-quality output yielded within the first few minutes using the AmazonBasics studio. The example photos I posted reflect a quick-and-dirty, unedited, no-filter test I did using my Microsoft Lumia 735 8.2 megapixel camera phone. I have a DSLR that I use for product photos, but this shows how decent the results are out of the box, using super-basic equipment. I'm beyond satisfied with this purchase - it's everything I need, and I honestly wish I'd purchased it first, before sinking the same amount of money into separate components that ultimately didn't measure up.

Nice Photo Studio Box
By JC on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023
I recently purchased a portable foldable photo studio box to level up my photography game, and I must say, it has been a mixed experience so far. First of all, the portability factor is nice however this box is on the heavier side but it does fold flat which makes it easier to cary. I can quickly set it up wherever I need it, and that's a huge plus for someone like me who loves outdoor shoots. Another great feature is the built-in LED lights. They provide just the right amount of lighting to enhance the subject without being too harsh. It definitely adds a professional touch to my photos. Unfortunately, there are a few downsides that prevent me from giving this product a higher rating. Firstly, the material used for the walls of the box feels a bit flimsy. I also wished the backdrop was embedded to the walls instead of a sheet like material that drapes over the bottom part of the box as it has a very noticeable crease that shows in the pictures. Overall, this portable foldable photo studio box has its pros and cons but it definitely achieves what i need.
