Upgrade EMART 14" x 16" Photography Table Top Light Box 104 LED Portable Photo Studio Shooting Tent with Color Backdrops and Phone Tripod Holder

I recently purchased the Upgrade EMART 14" x 16" Photography Table Top, and I couldn't be more impressed! This compact and sturdy table is perfect for product photography, hobby shoots, and even small art projects. The surface is smooth, easy to clean, and provides a flawless backdrop for various subjects. The build quality is top-notch, and it’s incredibly easy to set up and use. Whether you're a beginner or a professional, this table will help elevate the quality of your photos. The size is just right for smaller items, and the portability makes it super convenient for on-the-go shoots. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly photography table. Five stars all the way!

Everyone has stuff they want to sell. Making it look its best is important to try to get the best price.I needed something that was a reasonable size to photograph comic graphic novels as well as other assorted stuff. When I used to shoot on my kitchen table, the overhead light would reflect off of shiny or laminated objects, creating glare or "hot spots."BOX CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE: I did a lot of research before I settled on this particular light table box: there are a huge number of them available. The LED lights are positioned in two rows along the top of the unit to provide even lighting. They can be adjusted 3 ways in terms of selecting the kind of light and light intensity can be raised or lowered. The inserts offer full coverage of different background colors and fit in tabs on the back wall and the front of the base.By taking the photography at a 90 degree angle from the lighting, it provides photography without the hotspots and glare that comes from alternate arrangements. That said, there is a velcro cap on the top that can be removed for taking photographs from the top of the unit if you feel that gives a better end result.The unit collapses to near flat, which is great for storage when not in use. It features a long custom cord and plugs into a standard USB outlet.THE CHALLENGES: The sides snap together but are thin and buckle a bit. Which wouldn't be a big deal but it can expose the crevices in the box build to the photography. Use care and zoom in as much as possible when doing the photography to avoid capturing the flaws.That aside, it was a reasonable cost and very versatile. I am very happy with my purchase.

If you have read some of the other reviews there are some things to note. The sides of the box are bowed in when first taking out of the box but after sitting put together for a day or two they are sitting fine. The snaps were a little trick to push together but once I got pieces in place and snaps connected it does seem stable.To the reviewer who said the changeable background sheets would not stay in place did not pay attention to how the sheets were meant to be were meant to be installed. There is one side (top part) that has half moons kinda of like in the box and and the half circles interlock for the background to stay up. There is no way they can easily slide off. The other side of the plastics sheets do not have any cutouts because they just slide into the half moons on the bottom of the box to keep pushed back and stay in place. I do not know if the instructions pointed this out out because it was so easy to put together that I never looked at them.I like the variety of background sheet colors to be able to play around with which one will show off the item best.I don't think I will travel with the photo box because it is not tiny (just look at the size of the area to photograph) and there are several background sheets. All the items I need to photograph are in one place so I will leave up until I am done then fold up and store. This will fold up small enough to store easily.To the posters that said the sticky tape for the LED strips could peel off, I did see one strip start hanging down a bit. The two sided tape is either not strong enough for the weight of the strip or the 100+ deg heat of travel and sitting outside after delivery impacted the adhesive. This is not a big deal for me because 1. this box was not that expensive and that is a minor issue in the scheme of things and 2. there are so many two sided foam tapes out in the market that will peel easily I am not surprised. I am just going to replace the double sided tape with Gorilla double sided tape I keep on hand for such issues (that how common peeling is)The only reason I took a star off was that the top back corners of the cube did not overlap enough when assembled that it could possibly show when taking a picture at an upward angle or a tall item. I have some white card stock I will just cut out to cover that spot and be much less obvious.Yes the box does need some minor modifications to make it really good for me. On the other hand I am very excited to start taking pictures of items and getting them posted online for sale. This box was a cost effective way to take better pictures than just putting a piece of paper on the table and hoping for the best.I will come back and update this review if I encounter more issues that make this box unusable. Fingers crossed that I have found all the quirks.So far I recommend this box as a cost effective way to take bright photos of small to medium items.

This is great for small product photography. I use this along with a camera ring light stand that I got separately and it’s perfect for me. The stand it comes with appears cheap and flimsy. Also, I wish the backgrounds would stick better to give that clean finish, but they don’t. But if you’re looking for a low cost option to take product pics for your marketplace or some other work, this is a great option. It’s easy to setup and lightweight. The lighting is pretty good too.

The media could not be loaded. This light box took my photos to the next level! I was tired of my photos looking so dark, so I decided to get this and it was well worth it. I was skeptical at first, but boy was I wrong. It was very easy to set up. I didn't even need to read the instructions. It's extra sturdy because it has buttons on the side that keeps it in black. I also loved the backgrounds it came with. In my video, I used the blue backdrop and it really made the photo pop. I will be using this for all my future photos.
