Ravi 2.0 Ultra Lightweight and Portable Photo Booth Shell, Breaks Down in 6 Pieces, Fits in Any Car. DIY Photo Booth Business.

1) Flimsy materials and workmanship. Product rocks and sags after construction. Main housing dos not sit securely and rotates too easily. Printer platform has same issue.2) Weight of strobe flash makes upper housing lean backward.3) Flash pole does not tighten securely and flash with umbrella spins out of socket too easily.4) Bolts to secure poles are not easily tightened (and not easily loosened either). Poles are extremely hard to orient so that cable routing holes face toward the back correctly.5) Poor fit and finish. Paint is thin and will clearly scratch very easily in little time.6) Metal used on poles is too soft so I can tell threads WILL strip after a few uses.7) Supplied wing nuts for the Surface Pro securing plate are too small and will dig into the adjustment channel.8) Terrible assembly instructions. You have to register the product and wait for them to be emailed to you.9) The only way to transport unit without damaging it is in a case… available for yet another $450 (to say nothing of the printer cover that isn't included and costs extra as well)10) It would have been trivial for the unit to be manufactured so that more than one size of tablet can be used, but instead it is designed SOLELY for the Surface Pro.11) Camera plate has no rubber skidding to prevent camera from slipping. Supplied bolt is too long for most DSLRs so you must scavenge one from your existing tripod mounts.12) There's no way to adjust camera settings inside the unit. You have to remove the camera and set it up, including focusing, outside the housing and hope it still works correctly when you mount it inside (NOTICE: AutoFocus IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN A PHOTOBOOTH — therefore you must focus prior to inserting)13) The camera plate angle adjustment knob threads poorly onto the bolt making it easy to accidentally detach. It doesn't lock. Also: the adjustment travel on the bolt is insufficient for most camera plate positions.14) Tech support does not answer calls. They call you back and are not very helpful when confronted with concerns or questions.Bottom line: not a pro appliance in any sense of the word. Too expensive for amateurs. It doesn't seem suitable for anyone.

Let me start off by saying that its very disheartening to see a bad review of a great product. I’ve bought a full system from FireBooth and this will be my second DIY unit from them. Mark and the team at FireBooth really do care about your success. I’ve called them with a few questions and they have always been attentive and extremely helpful. Quality and craftsmanship of the product is on point to say the least. I’m am confident to say that the all the negative aspects that were pointed out from the last review means that they obviously do not know what they are doing or talking about.I have personally looked into fabricating my own booth design from aluminum and steal. The manufacturing cost and design will be well over 10-15k for one design. Most fabrication companies will not even touch your design without a minimum quantity of at 10-20 shells.If I were to sell photo booths this would be a great option for me to go that route. But, I am in the rental business so that wouldn’t even apply to me.With that said.. how does the last review come up with a number of a price point of $250?!! Come on now.. let’s be real.The booth breaks down in 6 main pieces. Let’s go over all the pieces to the photo booth shell in detail starting with the flash pole.Flash pole is what it is. It’s made of steel and screws in to the top of the upper housing. You can mount any flash you want. I went with the recommended Neewer C-250 to save some money. On the last review before this they said the shell rocks when you attach the flash. Hmmm.. the only way it tilts or rocks in anyway is if you do not tighten the bottom screw to the base plate! Don’t hand tighten it either, use a flat head! People trip me out sometimes. It’s just common sense!Upper housing or head unit as described in the manual is well constructed from light weight aluminum and has a tilt feature that is controlled by a knob on top to tilt the camera plate up and down. The last review said you have to take the camera out to adjust the settings and to focus. Lmao!! So not true. I laughed so hard when I read that. What a rookie! You can easily reach your hand in the booth to zoom in and out and to fine focus you can do it from the front hole. Always shoot in manual mode of course and you don’t even have to put your hand in the booth because your software will control the camera. Also, why do you need grip padding?? If you do not know how to tighten a wing nut and a universal screw that fits all DSLR cameras then you have issues. That’s all I have to say about that. You can hand tighten the screws to mount the surface pro and use zip ties to mount the other hardware like the surge protector, usb hub, surface pro power adapter, and camera power adapter. Also, the last person said it is trivial to only mount a surface pro in the upper housing and not any other computer tablet. Well they must be some super smart engineer that works for Elon Musk or something to say something like that. Please post your engineering degree because I would love to see it. Let’s think about this. This is laser cut material specific to a surface pro 3 or 4. If you change the width or height of the cutouts it will leave gaps. All spaces for plugs and such for the inside mount will change and compromise the design. That’s just some of the flags that come up to mind when thinking about a design that can use multiple computers and I’m not even a engineer!The 2 poles for the uprights that connect to the upper unit are made of steel. They connect to the base plate and will need a flat head screw driver to tighten it to the base plate. You can position the bottom pole to string the extension cord to top unit. Difficulty: EasySame goes for the printer stand. Tighten it with a flat head and position the top of the printer table to fit snug on the pole. Difficulty: Super EasyPrinter: you will need to choose your own printer for this unit. I went with the recommended DNP-RX1HS. Printer cover is a accessory and is mentioned in the post that it is not included. So I bought one directly from FireBooth.Travel Case: I am using a plastic bin I bought from Home Depot with some moving blankets to cover the booth up for transport until I get a real case for it.In conclusion, this is a great system if you are just starting out. It’s the most portable one as well. If you are adding this to your arsenal of booths for your rental business it will be easy for your attendants to set up.I’m sticking up for this product and company. Don’t knock something you do not understand. A lot of this is common sense. It’s a shell for God’s sake! Lmao!
