Weighing just 6.4 lb for the whole setup, the Tabletop Fluorescent 2-Light Product Photography Kit from Studio Essentials is an effective way to shoot small products or objects in the studio or on the road. The kit includes two light sockets with 6" reflectors and 5600K daylight-balanced fluorescent bulbs. The included light stands have a maximum height of 18" and an 8.5" footprint that will fit on most small sets. The stands fold down to just 9.25".
You can light your subject directly, but you'll get much better results from the included 24 x 24 x 24" white translucent photo tent. You can move the lights all around the tent until you get the soft, shadowless, quality that suits your subject. A 12 x 12" Magnetic Display Table with glossy black and white surfaces for a high-tech look is provided. Black, white, red, and blue backgrounds are also included for photo options.
