What would you guys suggest for a backdrop for doing figure reviews? I was thinking about some white poster board. I did start my channel, but I'm not sure if I want to make a separate channel for those or just do both under the same one. If you want to sub here's the link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmSZ5ehugA7IzOx9DX2o4TQ I've only done a few streams since I only started this week. Our audio for our first was horrible and the levels were so messed up that the game audio drown us out.

You could get one of those photography boxes or make your own.

Do those run a lot? That looks like the perfect setup.

$40 isn't bad at all for that one in particular. Hell maybe I'll buy it for this weekend. I know there's bigger collections out there but I have close to 100 1/6 figures IIRC plus dozens and dozens of assorted smaller scales I could review.

This one is $40 on Amazon. LimoStudio Photography Box - 2 lights

This one is the same thing but with 4 lights for $55. It's the one I have. LimoStudio Photography Box - 4 lights

There are a bunch of other options out there, but I think anything from LimoStudio works well.

It's a really simple setup and the box folds up so you can tuck it away easily.

I kinda want to get a 24' since I'd have more room to get my hands in there to show whatever 1/6 I'm showing off.

The one I have is 24" and there's plenty of room for 12" figures and smaller statues. I like it, but I'm not very good at making sure the backdrop is wrinkle-free though.

So that's how you make your photos look so good? I'm definitely considering it.

It's definitely something to keep in the back of your mind for an inexpensive but nice option. You can always make your own with a simple backdrop and a couple decent lights.

I was thinking that but I'm lazy and would rather have it good to go out of the box, so to speak.

Great shots, Zod! I was looking into a portable setup of sorts about a month back, I found something called Foldio, ever head of that?

I'm the same way. Plus, I figured that by the time I found a backdrop and lights, I would have spent enough to make me wish I'd just bought the set in the first place.

Yeah exactly, everything you'd need is all in one package and you don't need to shop around for the rest of the equipment.

That's the new one I'm getting later this year--the Foldio3. It's more expensive than the one I already have, but I think I'll get better pictures out of it.

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's got a LED strip within it?

 

[GeneralZodLives]

It has LED strips that attached to the side if I remember right. The Foldio3 isn't out yet, but it has 2 strips with dimmers and is 25" square. I think the other Foldios are much smaller.

told you boys the one to get a page or so back.... $99 shipped w/ everything you need.

24 inches... folds up... lights are already mounted inside.... it's big. that skyfire pic i showed... he's like 16+" tall and easily fit to take the pic.

 

[Shawpaw]

Zod, I'm convinced you are knowledgeable and good at everything

I couldn't remember which brand you use. I love your pics so that box is definitely another one to look at.
