Questions & Answers

Shopper : if i'm wanting to use this prove that something glows in the dark, will it work?CHARLES L : No! The box diffuses light - the box does not block out the light. Simply use a cardboard box and put a light blocking tarp over it.MAURICE C : No. This product will darken but not block out existing light sources.GREGORY G : Yes - just make sure it is in a dark room.BRIAN T : It's not dark in there. It's completely translucent. The point of a light box is that it lets light in.
Shopper : Is there an instructional video on how to pack up the Adorama De-Shadow Box?EDWARD C : I did not see one or look for oneMIGO C : Yes, it isBRIAN T : No video included, but check YouTube. You just twist this thing until it conforms to your will. It's like folding a pop-up tent, collapsible Frisbee or any of the myriad other carbon fiber ribbed gizmos that are on the market today. I don't think you could accidentally break it.DONALD R : Here is a video that should help understand how to fold the De-Shadow box..... https://youtu.be/3VFiTJS2M_gKAREN K : I don't believe it came with one. It's tricky, but I just twist it around in a few different ways until it just collapses nicely.LARRY N : Just go to YouTube and type in "How to fold a reflector in two easy steps" . This will show you the trick to do it quickly and easily.PATRICK H : You won't need a manual as it is spring loaded and in 3 movements folds back to original form.GREGORY G : No but there are instructions included - You can check YouTube.CHRIS S : Not in the package. I don't know if one is otherwise available.
Shopper : Does it have wheels?JOSEPH A : No it does not.EDWARD C : No it does not, it doesn't have feet eatherBRIAN T : It doesn't need wheels. It twist/folds and stores in a pouch the size of a Frisbee. It weighs only a pound, or so.PAUL B : No wheels. Folds flat with a handle on top for carrying. Weighs just a couple of pounds.BETTY K : NOTOMAS E : No wheels it weighs less than a pound!CHARLES L : No - the 28 cube De-Shadow Box does not have wheels. It is very light weight so it is easy to move about. I move the lighting source i.e. strobes if the light falling on your object wasn't right. If using natural light, place the Box on a collapsible card table. Then move the table around to get the best light.ROBERT C : No. It folds up into a LARGE briefcase type carrier for transport. It is so light you can pick it up and move it about with one hand.MAURICE C : No. It is a table top Item.DON D : No

Great Light Cube

Fantastic value, and a very good cube. Softens light perfectly, and both white and black backgrounds are provided, which is very nice.

May Change Rating After I figure it out.

Just took it out and trying to turn what I have into what I saw in the picture on this site. Guys, this is NOT documentation. 1. Remove light tent, backdrops and front cover panel from the carrying bag. 2> Place the De-shadow box on a flat level surface and start shooting.

Bigger and better then I thought

The tent is huge, Sweeps are hard to get rid of the folds but I use them under other backgrounds so no big deal.Appears well-made and sturdy. Overall, good deal for the price.

Every Photographer shoud have one, BUT -

I'm 86 and an "ex Pro". This product has very limited use but it is inexpensive and easy to carry and set up. I have used it to photograph household items for inventory and insurance records. When photographing very small objects I supplement lighting with a small, hand held, flash light. Results are acceptable and easy on the back.

Good to go

The product works as advertised. Would have enjoyed it better if the catalog that was enclosed didn't advertise the product at a reduced rate. Having the savings up front, instead of only wishing it would have been. Feel free to credit my account for the difference :0) Cynthia

Do I really need instructions?

Really, I can't seem to get this box together. I guess I shouldn't need instructions...but they would help.

Great product for a great price

I photograph many small items, this product is easy to set up and easy to use. My only complaint is that the fabric backdrop gets wrinkled when stored. Even with the wrinkling issue, it's still a great product.

Adorama De-Shadow Box,

We intend to use if for smaller items that we are selling. Took a far better picture of a ring using the Deshadow box than before.

Cheap and good

Got it during discount for a good price. The lamp should not be turn on too long so have to make the shots quick else they will probably burn or melt. The background has to be folded for storage so it caused a fold line to develop so I have to un-velcro and roll up for storage. Good product for light use.

Nice, neat, works great and stores flat.

What a great idea and a workable tool for taking table top photos for [...] items. This is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to set up and easy to put away. Everything fits in its place. Love it!

Nice Product

This is a product that can help individuals wanting to photo small objects for things like eBay. It is great for what it is intended. It's a little small and probably not something a professional would want, but for an amateur it's perfect, works well, and is a great value for the price.

Overcome indoor shadows!

The two low wattage lights offer a surprising amount of 'fill' for tight close-ups (think Ebay photos, flowers, etc.)
