Hi,

I would like a small light tent to do some stuff with at home to pass the winter away.

Any ideas where to search one out online thanks?

Pete.
 
How small?

I got that Hama mini studio XL thing from the last group Hama order for £30 which is quite nifty, its not all that big though.
 
no probs :)

I want to do something with mine this coming weekend I think. I ain't taking those Star Wars figures out of their boxes though.....I'll think of something.

Classic. Thankfully, my brother has a complete set of unboxed 77 originals in the Vader carry case - showing my age there though.

I once bought a C3P0 carry case rammed full with 77 originals with sabers and blasters for £11.00. Two in each slot as well.
Could not believe my luck.
 
Don't know if This is what your after, its only £12.99 . I bought one last year and its excellent

:agree: with MrG there ... a first class bit of kit for the price ... and as it's so portable it is so very versatile too ...:thumbs:

Incidentally Maplins delivered mine next day and are an excellent retailer for other stuff too ... recommended ... :D





:p
 
If they don't got it locally their internet service really is first class Diego ... :thumbs:







:p

But it hasn't got a lid!.... or at least the image doesn't show one :( The front is totally open too, that will still show the camera/photographer with shiny (Doh, the photographer hasn't got shiny objects:) )

We got ours from KPProf of Cambridge. Not as cheap as Maplins thoiugh. Wouldn't be without ours great fun so controllable

We got a much larger one - the shots I took of Marianne's granddaughters were taken with them inside!

Illustration is entirely innaccurate ... or you could argue it is just demonstrating its versatility ... :D

The unit certainly does have a lid when it is used properly ... but you are right it does not have a front ... however an offcut of net curtains or similar with your lens poked through would soon sort that ... :thinking:





:p
 
Depending on your budget Pete you should check out this supplier too http://www.stevesphotoshop.co.uk/

He does a good range of light tents plus lighting as well and matched kits. Prices seem pretty good.

Just an example.......Two flashes and a light tent!
 
I've got the Maplins one, totally unused, cover postage and it's yours.
 
The Hama mini studio appears to come with a Blue and Black background, does anyone know whether the Maplin one comes with anything?

Any recommendations on what to use? persumably a sheet/material would crease, would a sheet of card be sufficient?
