Product Description

Lastolite's beautifully engineered new Cubelite takes the "light tent" concept to new heights of quality and convenience. It is fully collapsible for space efficiency and easy transport, yet sets up in seconds to form a self-contained, completely enclosed shooting environment free of unwanted reflections and shadows. The Cubelite is made of a durable white diffusion material allowing the subject to be lit from the sides, back, top and, with a suitable light table, the bottom. There's even a handy pair of aligator clips inside for hanging paper to make a gradient light-curve background.

There's nothing bad to really say about it. Easy to carry for a foot soldier like myself, folds up just like a reflector, 3 feet was big enough for what i needed to shoot. When unfolded its about waist level high.

As far as diffusion.. its alright, if you know what your doing your gonna diffuse the lights anyway. If you dont know what your doing you'll still be fine.

All in all its been great, probably a 5 star rating.... but i hardly 5 anything :-]

I use this light tent to take photos of my own craft arts and it does a very nice job. Defused non-directional light produces good results and shows off my items to their best.

I use it on the table, while the two lights are located on the floor using floor light stands. To locate and keep the best angle inside the tent I use a lot of small wedges and some putty, so I can steady the item once I find the perfect angle for the photo. I have several different color cardbox squares that I use as the floor of the tent. Depending on the color and material of my objects sometimes it is better to use a contrasting color. The squares have non-reflective matte finish. Black square looks particular well with glass as it shows off edges.

Some other useful features of the light tent: alligator clips for holding backdrops and removable bottom so it can be placed over stationary objects.

Lastolite is easy to set up and when I am done it folds up neatly into its own case.

Overall, I am very pleased.
