Fantastic diffusion and no wrinkles to deal with makes this a great light tent. It also diffuses on the bottom, back, and both sides for easy shooting with no shadows if desired. It takes 10 minutes to setup and it is not as compact when collapsed as the fabric light tents but it is a small inconvenience to have no wrinkles and the resulting time savings in lighting setups or post processing to fix problems. I can set up the tent and 4 strobes and be taking perfect product shots in 30 minutes and put everything away in 10 minutes. I do wish they made a model that had a base section that was 50% wider as with objects larger than 8 inches in width it is difficult to keep the side walls out of the shot and the seams between the side walls and the base section of the light tent. Other than this restriction this light tent will produce better results than light tables costing ten times as much. It works best when placed on top of a piece of glass at a height that permits use of a strobe below when one wants pictures with no shadows around the item being photographed.

Rolled in a nifty bag, this took some figuring to set up the first time. Having done so I discovered it was way too wide to make the basement door. I took it apart and reassembled it where it will be used. Not at all compact, but wonderfully conceived and executed.
