First, let me say the shipping was FAST. I had this item the NEXT day, and I didn't request expedited shipping. (The company and I are both in Southern California, and that makes a difference, but it does mean they shipped it the same business day they received the order!)
Now, to the product. This is my first time to use a light box, and I did a LOT of research before deciding on this one. I made a good choice. There are other, more expensive, light boxes out there, more powerful lights, etc., but for what I need -- the ability to shoot small products for my eBay and Amazon sales -- this is perfect. The fact that it fits into a compact carrying case is a huge plus. Not that I will necessarily be transporting it around, but the fact that it can be stored compactly and out of the way, is a big plus, and made my wife happy :)
The unit itself it well constructed, comes with a camera tripod (although I seem to prefer to hand-hold my camera), and two lights. The lights are not super bright, but I've been pleased with the photo quality. I've shot photos with both my digital camera, and the camera on my iPhone, both with excellent results. The resulting photos look very professional. So, the lesser-powered lights are not an issue for me, and I shoot in a room with a lot of good ambient light, so it all works well.
I have only two comments, both of which I've sent to the manufacturer: 1) It would be nice to have setup instructions showing the correct orientation of the box and the backdrops. I know it's not rocket science, but I'm still not sure I have it set up correctly. I have the backdrop just draped over the back, although it has velcro for attachment, but setting the box up so the backdrop can be attached via that velcro doesn't make sense to me. Yah, I'm a newbie, but this would seem to be more intuitive than it is. 2) One of the lights did not work when I first switched it on. After a couple of minutes, I figured the bulb might have come loose during shipping, and in fact it had. I unscrewed the "lens" and pushed the light back into the socket, and all is well. I suggested to the manufacturer it might be a good idea to include a notice to check for this condition if a light doesn't work, which could save them having to replace a light for a customer who thinks they got one that's DOA.
I still gave this item 5 stars, as it's everything it advertised, and I'm completely satisfied with the results it produces. In fact, I'm going to buy one of these for my daughter-in-law for Christmas, as she sells a lot of small items on eBay, and this will really help her. I highly recommend this product and seller.
**ADDENDUM: I contacted the company about a setup guide, and they directed me to a link on their site (apparently there was a sticker on the packaging that I overlooked, MY BAD) which directs you to a video on how to set up the lightbox. The video is very helpful, and YES, I did set it up incorrectly. Once I saw how it was done, it made perfect sense, and I felt a little stupid :) But all that to say, the company has been great to respond, the site fully supports their product, and they offered to swap out my light if it gives me any more trouble, which it hasn't. Happy customer here!

This is perhaps the cheapest of this kind of product that I found, and it does a pretty good job.
The folding bag opens and turns into a 16" square box with diffusers on both sides and the back. The accompanying lights are small but strong enough for the job. There is a camera stand with a ball head. It had difficulty holding a FZ30 steady. I used a tripod instead. Smaller and lighter cameras should work ok on the stand.
There are 4 color backdrops included, which is great. But the backdrops are little smaller than the available space in the box, unfortunately.
The biggest items you could shoot without any problem would probably be 10 inches.
The fact that everything folds and packs into a nice bag is a great convenience and space saver.
Look at the user uploaded photos with this product for some ideas on the photo quality.
The lights heat up fast and it may be difficult to keep the studio running for continuous operation. But it is not meant to be for long continous usage.
Overall, it is a great value for the price.
If you need to take pictures of small products or objects, it is highly recommended.

First of all I was sort of expecting a mediocre photo setup and then after I received the box (which was the most mangled box I had ever seen), I expected the worst to come out of it. But, I pulled out an unscathed and unwrinkled, little photo setup.
The whole thing (light box, lights, tripod, and backdrops), comes in a very handy little suitcase with a handle. In fact, the box is the suitcase that folds down into a suitcase and on one side is the velcro closure and the other side are three deep pockets where you put the lights and tripod, then 2 snap closures to secure them. Very clever.
You do need at least 4 ft x 3 ft workspace to have the setup, but I did my photos off an small IKEA table and had room to space for my laptop.
The 50watt lamps are ample lighting, but I find that you do need some sort of light source on the top (I use a lamp, but you could use natural sunlight).
I've only used the black backdrop so far, but the pics are super professional! Even with some lint on the backdrop, it doesn't show up on the pics if you use the right set up on your camera.
As far as sizing, it is perfect for smaller stuff and I'd say that you could go up to a size of a good size vase, but anything more will probably need a bigger box.
All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and recommend it highly!
