Hi All

I want to get a light tent to photograph small objects for e-commerce use. Objects no bigger than 50cm.

Could anyone recommend the solution to go for? I've been looking at them on warehouseexpress but there are quite a few different ones!

Thanks

Ewan

That wouldn't be big enough Mike - it's only 40cm each side.

eBay can easily be trusted for this kind of thing.
See here for the 80cm version at £20, or
here for the 90cm version at £30.

Works very well for a close-up portrait!

paid about 20 quid for mine off ebay, and they fold down nice to the size of a reflector, just hope you like ironing ))

Ian,

Bowens 250w heads at the mo.

Although not using a light tent, this and this were shot with one head and a softbox.
