Just picked this up at harbor freight for 21.99 its around 2 ft square on each side plenty big enought for 1/48 and lager.
and it fits in my spray booth
Yup! I bought one for my club to take to the meetings and take pics of members builds. It’s sure alot easier than a full set up and far more compact once put away. It takes alot of worries out of getting the light diffused no matter where you use it.
Wow. Looks great. A few questions:
-
Do you have a link for that product in Harbor Freight’s catalog?
-
It looks like it collapses for transport and storage. Does it?
-
What kind of a lighting setup do you use with it, and do you use a custom or auto white balance?
Thanks.

What do you use for lighting

Actually i got lucky and it fit in my paint booth so i use the 3 flourecent lights.
Be very careful with these bargain photo tents…once they get dirty they don’t like getting washed. Some use metal that rusts and will ruin the fabric.
PVC and a bed sheet. Washable and transportable.
no worries i live in arizona so i dont have to worry about the rust thing and i use shelving paper that i lay down in my booth so i can remove it and put down fresh paper.
Doh! Why didn’t I think of that!
I was pricing out nylon at the fabric store today to do this. My DIY plan was to make my own version of the WalMart photo tent using nylon hand-sewn onto a bent wire frame…(not dis-similar to the design of the originally posted product, actually…I hate it when someone steals my idea…lol).
But a bedsheet…that’s genius! (and in the closet)…and I have a ga-jillion PVC pipe pieces and fittings at work…viola, I’ll have this baby put together by tomorrow afternoon for exactly $0. Thanks Gerald.
Cheers
