If you’ve ever put up an item for sale on eBay or in online classifieds, you’ll know how difficult it can be to take a decent photo of your product. That’s where this neat little kit comes in. Called the Tabletop Photo Studio, it is essentially that – a compact photography studio complete with lighting and tripod, that’s small enough to sit neatly on a table.
It is designed to let you achieve professional, studio-quality images at home using your own camera and is ideal for small items like electronics or collectibles. The kit includes two backdrops for high-contrast images and a compact light box with diffuser screen so you can achieve top quality results the first time, without having to turn to Photoshop afterwards.
The Tabletop Photo Studio wouldn’t be a complete studio without lighting, so there are two 35-watt spotlights to create highlight and shadowing effects and also includes a small tripod for shake-free shots that extends from 8.5″ (21.6cm) to 16″ (40.6cm) tall.
If you’re on the go, the whole kit folds down into an included carry case (below) and weighs no more than 6lbs (2.72kg). The 20-Inch Tabletop Photo Studio is a great idea if you sell a lot of small things online and is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $99.95.
If you need something that will accommodate larger items, they also have a 40-inch Foldable Photo Studio for $199.95 – which is big enough to photograph large pieces of travel luggage.
