Best Photo Light Boxes

The AmazonBasics Portable Photo Studio can make catchy photography more affordable, portable, and easier than ever before. It's a high-quality collapsible photo tent featuring two built-in LED lights that can help you capture nice images with your camera or smartphone. And what is notable, the studio is compatible with the Amazon Seller app allowing you to shoot, edit, and directly upload your images to Amazon catalogs.

The main light fills the chamber, while a second light provides a directional accent. And the inside walls give a finishing touch by bouncing fill-light into your objects. Each LED emits daylight-balanced light at 5600K and delivers good contrast, consistent color, and powerful output. The two-light approach provides highlights like that of professional studio lighting.

You can shoot from the top (1 slot), front (3 slots) and from the entire front (opens for large items). The studio is shipped with the basic, white background; however, you can easily install any background to get the look you need (the studio has built-in background hangers).

Useful tip: if you want an inexpensive option for different color backgrounds, you can use a sheet of 22" x 28" poster board. The poster board is thin and very flexible. Plus, you won't get a "crease" line or wrinkles, just an infinite background.

If you need a high-quality portable studio for taking pictures of both small and large-sized objects, the TRAVOR Cube Light Box is currently one of the best offerings on the market. Being 32”x32”x32” in size, it can fit many items from smartphones to chairs. Actually, there are plenty of ways to use it creatively.

Still, this extra-large portable studio is easy to put together. The instructions are crystal clear and the whole assembly will take you less than 10 minutes. The frame of this shooting box is set up by convenient joints, while the tent body is built with zippers. No extra tools are required for the installation. Once assembled, the light box is very sturdy, though a bit heavy.

The box is designed with stepless dimming technology, meaning you can adjust the brightness to your preference so as to get the desired lighting effect. With ultra-bright bulbs (13000 Lumens in total) and high color rendering (95+), anything you put in this light box will boast great texture. And the inner reflective fabric will minimize unwanted shadows.

The LimoStudio is a small light box with a small price tag for shooting small items. At 16" x 16", it's a fairly good tabletop lighting for taking professional photos of jewelry or similar stuff.

The set includes a mini stand tripod, white photo-shooting tent, 16-inch cubic with 4 color backdrops, 2 tabletop LED lights, and a cellphone clip holder.

Instead of traditional LED panels, this kit includes 2 free-standing LED lamps with a brightness of 600 Lumens each. The stand for LEDs allows you to move the light with ease. Hence, you can experiment with light as you wish. The light bulbs are the perfect daylight temperature for professional images, however, they aren't bright enough to remove all the shadows.

The included tripod works well for steadying your camera on any surface. It also enables you to get steady aimed shots by adjusting the camera to different angles. Along with the stand, you get a universal phone holder compatible with almost all smartphones.

As a nice design solution, the carrying case is just the part of the light box itself, which makes setup and subsequent pack up a breeze. The fabric walls are quite solid, the framing is high quality, and the bag is useful to store everything away.

If you’re an online seller, artist or shutterbug looking for a middle-sized light box, this product is certainly worth your consideration. Measuring 20"x20"x20" and costing less than $60, the Amzdeal photo studio strikes the perfect balance between size, price, and quality. Not without a reason, this photo box is already causing ripples across the market.

With 20 LEDs (1000 lumens in total) and an 80+ color-rendering index, this light isn't harshly fluorescent. Two LED light panels emit a satisfactory 5500K temperature balance to keep the colors sharp with every image. Plus, LEDs produce very low heat, making the product quite energy-efficient and safe.

Users can open this box in 3 ways - you can adjust front opening by closing it up (leaving only a small hole) or opening up completely; also, you can use the window on the top for a dynamic bird's eye shooting position.

To help you take pictures of reflective objects, the tent comes with a diffuser. It softens or spreads the harsh light from the flash, resulting in a flattering light on the object, while the silver reflective interior minimizes shadows. Combined with any of four backgrounds (black, white, gray, orange), the tent will let you take great pictures with both your smartphone or DSLR camera.

The Slow Dolphin 2x20 LED tabletop light box looks nothing like other portable photo studios in our review. It has changed the concept of a traditional mini photo studio with its lightweight, detachable, foldable and portable design.

All you have to do to set up the tent is unfold it - there's only one way it snaps together, so you'll easily figure out how to make that happen. The setup will take you less than two minutes. After that, you can attach two LED light strips (front and back, both on the lid) using snap-on buttons. Snaps are a much better and more convenient upgrade than the magnet or hook closures used by other brands

The tent comes with as many as 6 backdrops that are attached by "hanging" onto small cut "pegs" in the back plastic panel. The backdrops are plastic and don't seem to collect lint, hair, or other debris easily.

But what really sells the product is that it's no bigger than a piece of paper when disassembled. Plus, it's almost flat. That is to say, the unique snap-together design is just great and the laydown backdrops have no wrinkles after unfolding.
