This is so compact, portable, and easy to use that I thought I was dreaming! I am very new to photography and have undertaken photography of small shiney objects- jewelry. Not an easy task I’m told. This made is too easy to believe any of the previous warnings I’d heard. The pictures I took came out fantastic! The portablility of the item is miraculous! The directions for the homemade units limit a person to having a somewhat fixed lightbox made of either a storage container or foamboard. They are not nearly as compact and travel-friendly as this tabletop unit. It folds up easily, is very light, and sets up in seconds. I’m sold!

Definitely worth the price from Amazon – but don’t buy from pricier stores. It is a cute little model, sets up nice (altho not overly sturdy – the corners don’t fit “quite’ right but the Velcro makes it work OK), and the blue backdrop is working very nicely for almost every subject. My only 2 real concerns have been: the camera tripod that comes with it doesn’t stay extended (but then I prefer to hand-hold my camera anyway); and the directions to set up the studio initially put it up backwards – or was it inside out?! Anyway, once I figured that out, I was in business, and I’ve been using it almost daily. The adjustable spotlights are great, the diffusers work fantastic, overall I’m very pleased with the studio – and all my co-workers are so impressed with my ‘access to and knowledge of technology’ and with the photographs that I’m turning out for our museum! I’m very glad I bought it!
