YOUR RECENTLY VIEWED ITEMS

Whether you're selling your products online or in magazines, portable shooting tables, photo boxes, and light kits allow for professional product photography. They help you achieve clear, glare-free photos that vividly show the features of a particular product. A tabletop photo studio is portable and lightweight for easy storage. It's also easy to set up and take down, allowing you to create your mini professional studio anywhere.

Why Use a Portable Shooting Table?

A portable shooting table, or photo table, is not only ideal for product photography but it can also work for macro photography. The shooting table helps eliminate shadows in the photos of your products. This makes it simple to cut out the subjects from the background. These tables come in various sizes to suit all product dimensions and designs. They're also foldable for easy packing and portability, making them popular with travel photographers.

Important Features of a Photography Light Box

Most shooting tents and table backgrounds are completely white to allow light to bounce off easily for better illumination of the product. However, you may want to consider using backgrounds with neutral colors such as gray and black for brightly colored products. A portable photo studio also comes with LED strip lights. This feature diffuses light to pull focus to your subject. The LED strip is concealed along the edges for a sleek look. LED tent lights also consume less energy and last longer, eliminating the need for frequent replacements. For even more cost-effectiveness, shop for light tents kits, which include tabletop studios, fluorescent or LED lights, and light sockets. You may also want to consider investing in accessories such as video camera boom poles, white bounce cards, light table stands, as well as copystands and copylights.

If you're looking for shooting tents and tables that are portable, check out B&H Photo and Video's wide assortment of products to find the right kit for your product photography.

Best Tabletop Photo-Shooting Tents and Light Boxes – ARTnews.com

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, we may receive an affiliate commission.

If you tend to shoot a lot of objects, it’s a good idea to invest in a lightbox. Like your own scaled-down studio, these contained spaces are designed to offer clean backdrops and lighting; most come with their own lighting system that the photographer can control. In this enclosed space, you won’t have to wrestle with light angles or battle your own shadow, and since your images will have greater color accuracy, you won’t have to spend as much time editing them. Whether your photography practice is for clients, your own e-commerce business, or just for fun, our picks will help you find the best light box.

1. ESDDI Photo Studio Light Box

ESDDI’s lighting booth is an impressive mid-range box with features that will satisfy a wide range of needs. Setup is easy, as it consists of a single piece with collapsible walls that attach via Velcro. Plus, the cube features built-in LED lights, so you only have to plug it in to use it. These line the ceiling to evenly distribute light, and a control dial gives you complete control over the brightness, which changes seamlessly. You can also shoot from multiple angles: straight ahead or through a hole in the ceiling. Or, set up the fourth wall and shoot through a flap. The cube is sturdy and feels like it will last for years.

2. Neewer Photo Studio Shooting Cube

If you prefer to use your own light sources, we like Neewer’s cube, which excels at filtering light. Made of a translucent fabric, it casts beautiful, soft light on interior objects while eliminating reflections. You can either place your lens through a front slit or remove the door for a wider angle. It also folds into a small rectangle and immediately pops back out into its cube shape when you’re ready to use it again.

3. Fotoconic LED Light Box Photo Tent

This compact three-sided box is a good option for basic, undemanding shoots. It features a ceiling ring of LED lights that you turn on in three modes: white light, soft light, and warm light. You can further adjust the environment by pressing a +/- button to adjust the brightness on a 0 to 100 scale. Because the walls snap into place, the construction is a little flimsy, but this is an economical option for learning the ropes before you invest in something higher end.

4. AmazonBasics Photo Studio Box

This light box offers both size and quick assembly. It is large enough to fit a cat or small dog, and all four walls collapse into a thin carrier case that resembles a portfolio holder. Yet, they are structured and feature holes that allow you to shoot from the top as well as from the front door, which is also easily removable. The integrated LED lights have good distribution, but they are not as strong as those in boxes of comparable size, like Havox’s. The vinyl interior also tends to attract dirt, so it’s important that you wipe it down before each use.

5. HAVOX Photo Studio

If you’re ready to invest in a top-quality box to call your one and only, we recommend Havox’s booth, which allows you to fine-tune your shoots to attain complete color accuracy in the moment. The box features luminescent LED strips that you can rotate slightly to make micro adjustments, and each has its own control dial to adjust individual light levels. It also comes with a diffuser to create soft, bright light. We also like that there are many access points: shoot with the front open, through one of two front flaps, or through a ceiling flap. Because the materials are so sturdy, you can’t simply collapse this box, but the parts can be assembled and disassembled in a straightforward, ten-minute to 15-minute process.

How to use shelters and tents for wildlife photography

The most difficult thing when photographing birds is to go unnoticed. In this case, even a slight movement can scare away your subject, he may disappear and never return. Bird shelters and special curtain tents are great tools that will allow the photographer to go unnoticed. In this article, Hungarian professional photographer Dora Jokkel shares her tips on camouflage for bird and wildlife photography in general. nine0006

Wear camouflage clothing to blend in with your surroundings

The easiest and easiest way to hide from bird eyes is camouflage clothing. This is the best choice for objects that are constantly in motion. The biggest advantage of camouflage clothing is that it allows you to move as you please and doesn't cost a lot of money.

In addition to bird photos, you can also use it for other wildlife photos. You can also take your camo suit to the next level and buy a ghillie suit. This set of camouflage clothing was created for hunters, it will allow you not to stand out from the environment by colors. It's lightweight and breathable, yet it does a great job of making you look like a swamp monster - a real goblin. nine0006

If you want to photograph birds in the snow, you can dress up in white trousers and a jacket and complete your outfit with white gloves. You can wrap the camera and tripod with white tape or cloth.

Use a protective portable tent during a one-day shoot

A protective tent consists of a drape with a special hole for the camera. This is a great choice if you find a place that is frequented by birds. You can get to the site early and set up your hideout after spending some time inside birdwatching and taking photos. nine0006

Portable photo shutters are great because they cover not only you, but also your camera, tripod and other equipment. In addition, they hide your movements, which would otherwise scare away your valuable objects.

The disadvantage of tents is that the air inside them does not circulate well. On a hot sunny day, a portable photography curtain can feel like a real sauna.

Shoot from a pop-up shutter so you can return to your seat. Such a shutter is useful when you find a place for a photo that you want to return to several times. You can install it once and leave it there until you're ready to leave. nine0006

The most common drop-down curtains are small awnings. They have small adjustable windows. They are great to use because they hide all your gear and are spacious enough to accommodate a photographer for long hours. Some can even accommodate two people. The biggest downside to drop down blinds is that they provide the least amount of mobility and you end up needing more planning and timing to install them. These are large structures that can confuse birds, they can simply get scared. nine0006

It's a good idea to set up your tent a few days before you start shooting. Thus, the animals will get used to its sight and will think that it is part of their familiar environment. If you don't want to invest in a pop-up awning, you can also buy a camouflage cover. Attach it to a tripod with a few sticks and you have curtains.

Use the floating tent for lakes, ponds and swamps

If you are photographing birds around lakes, swamps or ponds, floating bird tents are the best option for you. This is a floating platform on which you can place a camera. It has an ergonomic design for gentle swimming. She also has a lid that makes her part of the environment.

Floating curtain is an excellent choice for shooting at water level and close-ups of waterfowl. The downside is that there are only a few types of floating curtains available on the market. Their prices are quite high due to the professional design. One of the best models available on the market is called the Floating Hide. nine0006

Build a temporary shelter out of grass and branches

You may not have your usual equipment with you, but you suddenly need a shelter for wildlife photography. A creative solution to this problem is to collect branches and grass around and build a shelter for yourself. Collect branches that are already lying on the ground so as not to harm nature by building yourself a shelter. You can even practice building a shelter near your home. This way, you will know in advance which design works well. nine0006

Use ordinary objects to hide from birds

Consider using ordinary objects as cover for wildlife photography. Consider using a garden shed with windows. Or build a simple plywood structure. Putting a rug on the floor can even reduce the noise you make inside. You can hide inside the car and monitor from there. Many species are accustomed to transport, and you will not frighten them (if the car does not move, of course). nine0006

Conclusion

Using shelters and blinds for wildlife photography can make a photographer's job easier. This allows you to approach shy objects and go unnoticed. Such special equipment does not disturb the birds, so they will behave naturally in the frame, allowing you to take reliable photos in their natural habitat.

his selection. How to choose the best tent for your purposes, told an experienced tourist

Igor Burunin .

The expert advises when buying to pay attention to the following points:

Type of tent

First, decide where you need a tent - in the highlands, middle mountains or plains. Each area has its own view.

Extreme tents suitable for high mountains, expeditions. Camping and trekking are suitable for plains and middle mountains. Separately, you can also highlight the tents for fishing.

Extreme tents must be as rigid as possible to withstand the wind and snow that is found in the mountains. Camping - the most comfortable and "family". If you are going camping with a child or on a picnic, take them. nine0006

Trekking tents for hiking or cycling. Weight plays a significant role in them. They must also be reliable.

Fishermen's tents are generally not intended for overnight stays. In them you can hide from the weather and relax. They are usually light and compact.

Characteristics and parameters of tents

Here again, it all depends on your preferences. The basic things are as follows:

Number of places - calculate how many people will have to accommodate in the tent; nine0752
Number of rooms - the number of separate zones into which the space inside the tent is divided, excluding the vestibule;
Number of vestibules - a kind of corridors, a space that separates the room from the exit. You can store your things there. If you have a lot of them, it's better to take a tent with a vestibule;
Inner tent - available in almost all modern types. Sometimes it can be installed separately. Models with an inner tent are also called two-layer. They better save from the rain; nine0752
Frame Type - A tent with an outer frame is more comfortable to set up, and the inner tent does not get wet because the tent is set up first. The inner frame design is more difficult to set up, but allows you to set up an inner tent without an awning. Tents, in which there is no frame, are stretched on two posts or on natural supports, for example, trees;

The material of the frame is what it is made of, the "skeleton" of the tent. Aluminum alloys are widely used in manufacturing due to their lightness. Anodized alloys give the frame additional protective properties. Fiberglass is also often used, as it is relatively light and durable, plus it is inexpensive. True, in the cold, fiberglass becomes very fragile. CFRP is very high-tech, durable and light weight. Steel gives the frame strength, but due to the heavy weight, the use of tents with steel arches is not very common. There is also Durapol - a material made of polyester and aluminum - it is resistant to deformation, but rather heavy; nine0752
Tarpaulin water resistance is the maximum height of the water column that the tent can withstand. This parameter determines the water resistance of the material from which the tent is made. For areas with rare rains, tents with an indicator of 500 - 3000 mm of water column are suitable. If the probability of rain is high, take above 3000 mm of water column;
Bottom water resistance is the maximum water pressure that the bottom material can withstand. For trips where rain is expected, choose a tent with a bottom water resistance of at least 3000 mm of water; nine0752
