Shooting with the ProoCam Easy Go Portable Mini Studio Light Tent with LED Light

I got hold of the ProoCam Easy Go Portable Mini Studio Light Tent while attending a recent photography club meeting in Petaling Jaya. Famcart was having a booth behind the meeting hall and I was curios as to how a small lighting tent like this can be useful. 

Mine comes packaged with a 7800mAh powerbank for RM90nett.

I put it up the same evening as soon as I got home. I attached the led to a power bank, placed my Sony A7 ii inside the tent and took some photos with my Olympus OM-D E-M5  + Panasonic Leica Summilux 25mm f1.4 lens [ShaShinKi]. 

Here are the photos, cropped in-camera and with minimal post-processing (getting rid of the "dust") in LightRoom CC. As you can see, I have used the 1:1 square crop in these photos and the camera barely fit in the frame. A little more and you will see the light-tent.

I have taken a few more photos using my iPhone 6 plus with the white background but the result is not as pleasing although it has served its purpose.

Conclusion:

This is not a technical review. Just my thoughts on the product.

Pros

• Light and easy to carry.
• Simple setup for small product shoots.
• Value for money.

Cons

• Not very bright.
• Only one led strip on the top.
• Not suitable for objects bigger than a small camera or if you shoot other than 1:1 square crop.
