Review Summary

It looked pretty much like the photos, but we ended up staining it to a dark wood. I went over 30 yrs of shooting not needing one , but my wife felt our new studio would be complete with having a set of them. I immediately found uses for them. From elevating video monitors, to using them for sitting or standing on during a model shoot, to making an extra surface space to set stuff down on, I?m sure there will be a hundred other uses!

A very strong apple box. I painted dark, but the box by itself is perfect for all studio photographers.

Sturdy, nice color, doesn't break when I stand on it. Doesn't break when I stand on it holding a fish bowl. The fish bowl, however, I stood on it. Will need a new fish bowl. But won't need a new apple box.

Granted, I only bought a box for pickup, but it was a perfect box - sturdy, clean, and nice-looking. I have a feeling I'll be using this apple box in some of my future shoots.

Been wanting to purchase this for some time...glad I finally got around to it. Many uses in the studio; adjusting subject's height, adjusting photographer's height, holding props,etc.

These apple boxes are basically well built. There are few things that need to done. The edges and corners need to be rounded-off. The boxes need to painted a neutral gray. Other than those two isses the boxes work fine.

The foundation of any shoot starts at the apple box
By Rahim H.
Excellent product that will see a lot of use on the years to come.
It's undeniable that Apple Boxes are indispensable tools in any professional photography or film set. This Quarter Apple Box, measuring 12x2x20 inches, is a versatile piece of equipment that can be utilized for a myriad of purposes. Whether you need it for propping up equipment, leveling a shot, or even as a makeshift seat or stand, this Apple Box is up to the task.
Constructed with precision, this Apple Box is designed to be dimensionally accurate and robust, with central support for added stability. It's an essential component in any studio setup, offering a practical solution for low angle lighting fixtures. Simply attach Wall Plates to the box to secure your lighting equipment effectively.
The Quarter Apple Box is part of a larger family of Apple Boxes, with a Full Apple Box equivalent to two Half Apples, four Quarter Apples, and eight Eighth Apples, also known as pancakes. This modular system allows for easy stacking and storage, making it a space-efficient choice for any studio.
Additionally, Basso Blocks can be used to complement traditional Apple Boxes. These uniquely designed blocks offer the same elevating capabilities as Apple Boxes but occupy 66% less space. A full set of Basso Blocks is equivalent to twenty-four Quarter Apples, further expanding the versatility of your studio setup.
In conclusion, the Quarter Apple Box is not just a tool, but a staple in the world of professional photography and film production. Its multifunctional nature and precise construction make it a reliable and essential piece of equipment for any creative professional.
