| | Photo Setup Just bought a photo setup from ebay for less than $100.00.
Have built many a makeshift setups that have worked in the past but this is sweet. The light boxes are like pop-up tents got a 12" and 30 " with White, blue, black, and red backdrops that velcro in. Two lights on stands and a tripod and a carrying case for the whole thing.
Didnt have any finished santas to try it on so used a head ornament and one of Anna's painted ornaments to give it quick try.
Finally a decent setup that I don't mind setting up or taking down and all stored in one bag and easy to take on location.

| | Re: Photo Setup Goody - could I ask you, please, for a seller's name, the URL, or an item # or something so I could locate that? That looks like something I need.
Thanks. |

Thanks. | Looks like they went up $10.00 from when I bid on mine but this seller has some more up. If you don't need the whole kit just type in Photo Lights on ebay and quite a bit will come up. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PREMIUM-PHOT...QQcmdZViewItem.

Thanks for the pointer. Mine just arrived and I must admit I am semi-impressed with what you get for the money. I have paid more for just a tripod! I suspect my biggest problem will be trying to fold up the light boxes to get them back in the bag!

| | Re: Photo Setup I checked the how-to-fold instructions. They're the same as the windshield sun shades I got for Christmas. The key is the kid that folds them up. You need to go find a kid to do it for you. My son has it figured out; I just toss them in the back. Mike | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
