MO: Cheapest Ever Studio Lighting Kit

[Adzz]

Set up the whole system. I got the Set A + B. The softbox is larger than i expected, no complain actually. Just somethign about the color backdrop for the softbox. Too much bending mark on it.

Anyone know how to remove it (physically)?

does it come with any softbox at all? or u mean the light tent?

 

[chunger]

iron? put a cloth (thick one) on top before you iron.

er... it is plastic leh.. scare it melt sia. Anyway, I opened it up and put a lot of books on top. Hope after 1 day it will be find... then i will just keep it by scrolling it.

I also can't fold the tent back and it lacks documentation or manual or any kind of help... :thumbsd:

But this one is a 4-rings thingie... a bit thick once you align the rings. (tip, to make the cube into square, push one edge to the opposite... like those foldable laundry basket)... but after that i had problem.

Manage to fold it into 8-shape but cannot fit into the bag... i tried to use my jedi power and forced it, then "twang". Now I'm scared to deform that blasted thing.

Juz got mine ($60 light tent) too.

I think it is better that PQ gives us the instruction on setting up, folding back etc. PQ pls...

 

[koolz]

Yeah, just recieved mine a few hrs ago. The lights does not come with instruction manual too.

yes, you have to fold it into a 8 shape first.

grab each of the rounded end diagonally and twist it.

once, you get into the 8 shape, grab the righ end and try to fold it in indicated by the arrow.

then it will become a 3 rings folded up tent.

Received mine this morning at 930, very efficient... now just need to learn how to use the studio lights, no experience whatsoever, anyone got tips or where to learn? Website or books recommendation? Thanks.
