Pros: Very good product since it is large and looks strong.
The building quality seems great !
The background is a nice white and the different background might gives ideas !
Cons: The backgrounds are quite reflective, so the black one is not really usable.
Very hard to put it back in its bag..... I wonder how it camae inside in the first place. Maybe a manual would help.
Other Thoughts: Great for the price ! Some backgrounds will not really be used, but maybe as reflectors or diffusers !
Bottomline: You can buy it.. I have been using it for some projects, and it is great to have a nice picture of your stuff when you sell it on ebay !

Pros: Seems to be fairly decent quality and folds up to a neat package. The backdrops are a nice touch although probably require ironing before use.
Cons: The carrying bag is a bit too big and allows the tent to unfold slightly. Smaller bag would take less storage space. Be careful when opening the tent springs open quite forcefully. Folding is bit difficult and instructions should be included !
Other Thoughts: If you are having trouble folding the tent - the key is to make it flat and then twist two opposite corners and bend the tent to a tree-fold loop.
Bottomline: Good product for the price. Folding is awkward but gets a lot easier when you know the technique.
Very good tent!

Pros: This tent has very good size. The coloured cloths that come with it are very nice. Good material and strong built and nice keeping pack.
Cons: It is impossible to fold back. When I first unfolded the tent it almost slammed at my face due to the recoil strenght of its inner structure. Then, when I tried to fold it back, I couldn´t. I tried a bit harder but its inner part/support structure started to make noises as if it was going to brake, so I stopped.
Other Thoughts: DX should shio a folding manual!! Or post a video or something....
Bottomline: Great light-tent. Good built and internal space.
Very convnient

Pros: I have a larger light tent, and have been after a more convenient one for small items for a while, so I was pleased to find this one on DX. The price is great, and the quality is on a par with every other folding light tent like this.
If you're after one of these for photography, you already know what they're like - this works like every other folding light tent I've used.
For the price, I was surprised it came with a cover and inserts - good stuff.
Cons: Can be a pain to fold, especially for someone unused to doing it. However, all these light tents are like that, not just this particular model.
It'll probably fall apart eventually and be difficult to fix, but again, that's just what these folding light tents are like.
For the price, no real issues.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Nice small size, folds up very compact, comes with the bits and pieces you might want.
