FOSITAN Light Tent 20"x 20"/50 * 50cm Brightness Adjustable Portable Folding Photo Studio Box Hook & Loop Table Top Photography Lighting Kit with Bright LEDs 5 Colors Backdrops

Review based on a purchase price of £71.98 in September 2021.I have a 3 point lighting setup for versatility, but I always found it difficult to get the best lighting when doing product shots. The tutorials I watched on YouTube showed that the best angle is directly from the top but it's hard to do that with free standing LED light panels.I was quite surprised and impressed when I first set this up and turned it on. The lighting was perfect and capturing great shots using this light tent is easy.I really like that it comes with everything you need. Not just the power leads and light adjustor, but a nice surprise was the diffuser and the coloured backdrops. It comes with a good selection of backdrop colours and they feel like a good, matte quality finish. They're easy to clean and mine didn't come with any troublesome creases (I have bought a similar backdrop before from Amazon, and it had creases that didn't come out), but they do have a smooth fold in them, as you can see in my second picture. I initially had a problem setting up the backdrop as it kept flopping down, but realised that the fold is off centre, so when you slip the shorter half into the bottom and long half up the back it's less likely to flop over.The box is really easy to set up and sturdy once you've had a few rounds of practice. My first go took me around ten minutes as I tried to figure out where everything goes, but after you get used to it, you really can set it up in 3 minutes as advertised!When packed away it's extremely thin and space efficient as you can see in my picture, but you will need to find a place to store the power and light controls. Also, you'll need a place for all the backdrops too and these will need to be stored carefully as to not get nasty creases on them. It would have been nice if there was an overall solution for storing all of these goodies in one place. I'm not sure what that would be and if it would be possible, but it would definitely have been an even better package if it came with an all in one carry case of some sort.To sum it all up, I like this light tent a lot. It's a good size, allows me to get great shots, and comes with everything you need. It can be improved with a solution to keep it all tidy.

I purchased this photo tent as I wanted to start taking more professional pictures for my products that I listed on my eBay store. My first impressions were great. This photo tent comes excellently packaged. Included in the box is the power supply, a diffuser, backdrops and the photo tent itself. There are 5 colours of backdrops available, white, gray, black, blue and cream. The white one will come in handy for most product photos. The black one is useful for those bright coloured subjects where you want more contrast. The material is also quite durable, just be careful not to fold them as they can crease.The photo tent itself folds together into one flat package which can be transported very easily thanks to the convenient carry handle on top of the tent when it folds away. It is very easy to fold out and set up, it takes about 1 minute in total. You fold out all of the sides and attach them using the Velcro on the edges and then you plug it in. Once it is packed away it is wite compact so it can be stored away easily.The box is lit with a large ring of leds at the top of the box. These leds are very bright leading to very even lighting around the whole tent. This is also helped by the reflective material on the sides and top of the tent. There is usually a very small soft shadow around the edge of your subject, this can be reduced by using the included diffuser. There is a switch in line that allows you to turn the leds on and off. There is also a knob on the power supply itself that allows you to adjust the brightness of the leds.You can take photos from either the front opening, the top opening or by removing one of the side panels. The top has a small flap with a small opening underneath. The front has a large opening with two flaps that you can choose to open or close. Removing the side panel is useful when changing the backdrop, it is also useful when your subject is a large object such as a hand. Overall I am very pleased with this photo tent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing to take professional product photos for their business.

Having had my own professional photography studio for many years until I retired in 2009 I understood the importance of well balanced light on my subjects. Although most of my photography subjects these days are of landscapes and yachting scenes I had no need of studio lighting until I tried to take a series of photographs for the cover of my up-and-coming book. The subject was a beautiful helmet with lots of very reflective surfaces and no matter how hard I tried, could not get a satisfactory shot. Oh how I missed my old studio but, just for one photograph, wasn't economically viable until I came across the Fositan Light Tent. Setting up was so easy and quick, the choice of different coloured backgrounds was a great bonus, as was it's own inbuilt adjustable lighting system. However, due to the reflective surfaces of the helmet, I decided not to use the inbuilt lighting system and used the office overhead indoor lighting instead. I took a series of shots at different exposures and before long had the perfect shot for my cover designer to use it in the cover design of my book. Once I was happy with the shots the Studio Tent folded down into the flat pack case ready to be brought out again at a moments notice. Even if I have no need of it again it was well worth the price to get me the one, all important shot I needed.

It's easy to assemble. Backdrops are a little bit annoying to fit and you can see the bends most of the time, so you have to workaround with them. Easy to fold and put away, however it's not big, so I just keep it assembled most of the time. Light is surprisingly good, I like that you can change the intensity of it. Money-wise I would say it's a bit expensive for its quality.Appearance-wise looks 👌
