Glendan Mini Photo Studio Light Box, 14" x 10"



Glendan light box black and white


The Glendan Light Box Mini comes in handy when I want to take a great picture of some small products, I guess that's why they call it the mini. It has a very user-friendly design and can be set up rather fast. The Glendan comes with The photo studio box 14"x10" with the LED lights attached, 1 remote attached to LED, 1 Light diffuser, 4 reflection boards, 6 backdrops with 8 colors, 1 tote bag, and a User manual. The box has two shooting angles which are from the front of the box and from the top. My Glendan did not come with a USB plug for your outlet so you may need to acquire one of these if you don't have a free one.


Pros

Cons

  • Easy to set up & use

  • The inner side of the backdrop hard to use

  • A lot of Options

  • The light Diffuser doesn't work with the Reflection boards

  • Light settings

  • Zoom in so you don't see the reflection boards

The Light Box


The light box itself is very light and folds all the way down with ease for easy storage and it can be set back up just as quickly. Once you have it open you have 6 sheets with 8 color options for backdrops and 4 squares with 3 colors of reflection boards to choose from, so you can mix and match till you find the look you are going for. The light box comes with a remote that controls the 112-bulb LED fixture that is already attached to the inside of the lightbox. The remote has an on/off switch as well as a dimmable and brightness feature that changes the LED fixture in 10% increments in brightness. The ability to change brightness as well as the light diffuser gives you many options to make your picture come out the way you want it to.



Backdrop sheets


The Bad


The Glendan Light Box Mini does have some issues such as the the light diffuser hanging too low when it's installed. I honestly don't like how they have the attachment for the diffuser which is just two vertical strips of Velcro on either side which get hidden when you put the reflection boards on so it makes the diffuser way harder to install. The backdrops are nice but when you use the opposite side the bend in the backdrop makes it look a little weird. Then there are the reflection boards that go in a little clumsy and always have a little lean or just start to fall down. The last thing for the cons that I have found is that you really have to zoom in if you just want the backdrop in the picture.

The Good


I really like the Glendan Light Box Mini because it gives you many different options, from the lighting being adjustable to how many backdrops you get with it. It really does the trick especially when you need to take great product photos of smaller items. The Glendan Light Box Mini is very user-friendly being able to set it up in no time as well as storing it just as fast, and comes with a nice little tote bag that fits everything you have for it. It comes with a little strap near the top where you can tuck your backdrop into for more security. The Glendan Light Box Mini also comes with a Velcroed top hatch where you can take photos from above the product from a different vantage point. The cord that comes with it that is attached to the LED controller has a good deal of length so you have options on getting it setup.


The Summary


The Glendan Light Box Mini has some faults but all in all, I really like using the mini light box because of its ease of use as well as the different options you have out of the box. I mean you can get it up and running in a minute or two and go to town taking pictures. Those pictures I've taken with this lightbox have come out looking really good. It really has become my go to and I believe it would be a suitable light box for those who need to take great product photos of smaller items.
