Perfect for product photos! Easy to set up and the lighting is awesome. My photos look clean and professional now.

First up, we should really cover what this is and what it isn't. What it isn't is a professional grade matte and illumination enclosure. What it also isn't is very large. Do be mindful of the product description -- the box is about 8-1/2" square when assembled, actually a little less than the claimed 9" due to the thickness of the material and not very precise locations of the assembly tabs. Don't be fooled by the product photos, either; they have items Photoshopped into them that imply you can take pictures of much larger objects than would actually fit into this box. You don't want to stuff the thing super full anyway, because larger objects run the risk of getting the corners of the box, casting big and tough to deal with shadows, or worse, forcing such a wide shot that the light ring gets into it.What it IS, though, is a very good value for the specific use case of taking brightly lit and mostly evenly illuminated pictures of small objects. I use it to take pictures of pocketknives, coins, and other sundry gizmos of similar size. It IS possible to get professional level results out of this if you know what you're doing and you're willing to put in a little effort.Let's not beat around the bush too much, though. This is a $10 enclosure. At the end of the day, it's a plastic box with a ring light in the top of it. For much more than that, it would be trivial to make this yourself. But for the price, I think it's worth it even if you outgrow it quickly and all you get is to be able to rip the ring light out and use it in something else.I will say that the included multiple color background swatches are not a value add proposition. I found them to be completely useless, because they all have a very pronounced texture to them. If you want to take a picture with the intent of easily knocking the background out of it in post-production, this is exactly what you DON'T want. That's because the texture creates all kinds of little shadows in the background of your shot, some of them which may be tough to separate from the edges of the item you're actually trying to photograph. You know that woven embossed fabric that reusable shopping bags are made out of? They're made out of exactly that. And the default white one is actually noticeably translucent, so the edges and seams in the plastic box beneath are visible through it.So I ditched the fabric swatches and just use a plain sheet of white printer paper for my backgrounds. As it happens, a normal sheet of 8.5x11" paper is pretty much a perfect fit for the width of this thing, and is long enough to curl up the rear of the box. Having a rounded surface at the back rather than a sharp corner is essential to getting a photo with a smooth background without a harsh seam running across it.The included ring light has a reasonably long USB cord on it, probably about 6 feet in total, with a titchy little pushbutton remote in the middle. The remote glows even when it's off so you can find it in the dark. It has the power button, color temperature selection, and brightness selection on it. That's it. Pleasantly, the thing does remember its last color temperature and brightness setting after you turn it off -- provided you leave it plugged into a power source. I just have mine plugged into an old phone charger brick. It works fine. You could plug it into a PC or laptop if wanted, but it'll forget its settings when you power off or unplug it.The three color temperatures consist of a reasonably high CRI cool white, a warm white, and a color that I can only describe as peach. I exclusively use the cool white setting. I can't think of any rational use case for the other two. The ring light is capable of QUITE thoroughly illuminating your chosen object owing to the small size of the box. Getting a lot of light on the subject is essential if you're going to be using your camera with the aperture wound as small as it can go, which you should in order to get good depth of field and have a hope of getting all of your subject into focus at such close range. Shadows are diminished, but not completely eliminated, by the reasonably high reflectivity of the white plastic sides of the box. If you wanted to make it even better you could line the outside with aluminum foil or something else reflective. You could also improve matters by fitting some kind of homebrew diffuser over the LED's, but I haven't gotten that dedicated yet.There's a hole in the top you can flip open if you want to shoot straight down from above, which peers right through the center of the ring light. Its little flap is just a cutout in the plastic, there's no hinge or latch or any kind of mechanism. If you open it you can never quite get it squarely closed again, but that doesn't really matter. The front of the box is open so you can take pictures straight through the front, and at various other angles. For best results, obviously, take your photos from angles that do not get the ring light into the frame. If you really want to go whole hog through the top port, you could lean a piece of white cardstock or something against the open side to reflect even more light inside the box.Theoretically this is portable, and you could take it apart and make it flat again for storage. It comes in a little bag that is, not surprisingly, made out of the same material as the background fabrics. I wouldn't put too much stock in this, though. The box is assembled by slotting tabs into little punch outs along the edges, and I can't imagine this would survive frequent rounds of assembly and disassembly. It's also fiddly, and annoying. Assembling it once was enough for me. I'm pretty sure it's made from polyethylene, which is capable of being flexed many times but if you develop a tear in it that would be permanent. Since I plan to use my little photo box regularly for a while, I just left it assembled and set up tucked in a corner. It's small; it doesn't take up much room even when it's put together.One thing about this box's smallness that works in its favor is you can use a regular smartphone to take pretty good product photos with it. This is tough with larger enclosures because most phones have a pretty wide field of view, and all but the fanciest models lack true optical zoom. Shoot from too far away and you wind up with 80% of your photo being useless white space, and you get precious few pixels across your actual subject. Getting close to the subject is therefore essential, and that's hard to do with an enclosure that's too big. As your attorney I advise you to locate whatever mechanism your phone has to manually adjust its white balance, because if you don't it will go absolutely bananas trying to figure it out automatically. Leave it to its own devices and you'll wind up with really inconsistent photos. So find that white balance setting and lock it down. Really, a proper digital camera with manual control of its aperture and white balance would be ideal, which you can accomplish even with many basic point-n-shoots from yesteryear. I use a crusty old Canon SX130IS for my purposes (so old it still takes AA batteries!) and it works just fine. The little box gets plenty bright enough that I can take short exposures and don't need to use a tripod.

I just wrote a bad review for the smaller version of this. This one gets a harsh treatment two. That's because it is 2X the cost but only 10% better features which means its a poor value.1) The product is made of that polypropylene type phasic that isn't very bendable. The kind you see on 3 ring binders.2) It doesn't fold well and doesn't want to stay in the tabs.3) The circular lighting is glued onto the plastic and you know it's just begging to be ripped off. It isn't at all secure4) The light ring is dimmable which is good but they do not protect it a all, the cable is held in with a piece of medical tape.5) The LED ring is unprotected and the LEDs protrude up above the naked PCB. This will eventually cause the plastic to rip off the components if you aren't careful when folding it.6) It says portable, I say no. You might get away with folding and unfolding it a couple of times but I don't intend to use it that way, I don't have the confidence. I plan on setting it up once just because it is that fragile.

The media could not be loaded. My brother has a business in Colombia and needed something to take some quality photos for his products. I loved this, I bought it to send it to him, it is spectacular, it is portable, it has several options of colored backgrounds and cold lights and quality in different intensities. I'm very happy with this purchase and I'm sure it will be very useful to my brother

Just received this lighting photo kit box and it has exceeded my expectations. The box is easy to assemble, and LED lights are very bright and adjustable.What I love most is how lightweight and portable everything is, yet it still feels durable.I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable, high-quality lighting kit—especially for content creators or beginner photographers.

I needed a solid white background for my sports card store merchandise. The white background sheet that came with this actually turned gray and couldn’t be adjusted in my camera settings.I finally used 2 sheets of plain printer paper and used one to the reach the top of the back wall and the second overlapping to reach the front bottom. Works perfectly. The lights on this flimsy but adequate light box are very nice so it’s worth the $10.UPDATE: After a little more than 2 months the connector on the front light bar snapped off with only the pressure of the slack cable as I picked it up. The front light is the only one the really works when you are using it for sports cards, photographs or anything like that. Save your money and spend it on something that will last longer.

The DUCLUS Mini Photo Studio Light Box is an excellent option for amateur photographers, online sellers, or anyone looking to capture high-quality photos of small products. Its portable design, efficient lighting, and interchangeable backgrounds make it an essential tool for achieving professional results with ease.
