Operating Instructions

Adjusting Lighting

The studio box features double integrated light-bars with 2x20 high-quality SMD LED beads, providing ample brightness for shooting. Use the inline control switch on the USB cable to turn the lights ON/OFF and adjust the brightness levels. The control allows for dimming from 10% to 100% and may offer different light modes.

Using Backdrops

Your kit includes 6 different colored backdrops (Black, White, Yellow, Blue, Red, Green) to suit various product photography needs and enhance visual appeal.

To install a backdrop, select your desired color and gently hook the top tabs of the backdrop into the designated slots inside the studio box. Ensure the backdrop lies smoothly to avoid creases that could appear in your photos.

Multi-Angle Shooting

The studio box is designed for versatile shooting angles to capture your products effectively.

• Front Horizontal Shooting Window: Use the main front opening for direct shots, ideal for capturing product details and textures.
• Vertical Window (Top Shooting Hole): A circular opening on the top panel allows for overhead shots, perfect for showcasing product layouts or flat-lay compositions.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior of the studio box with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic material or LED components.
• Storage: When not in use, carefully disassemble the studio box and store it in the provided soft bag. This protects it from dust, scratches, and potential damage, and keeps all components together for easy transport.
• Power Cable Care: Handle the USB cable gently. Avoid bending it sharply or placing heavy objects on it. Disconnect the cable by pulling the plug, not the cord.
• Environmental Conditions: Keep the studio box away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting Guide

No Power to LED Lights

• Check USB Connection: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the LED light strips and the power source.
• Verify Power Source: Confirm that your USB power source (e.g., power bank, wall adapter) is providing a stable 5V, 1A output. Some quick/fast charge adapters may not be compatible if they exceed 5V.
• Inspect Cable: Check the USB cable for any visible damage. Try using a different compatible USB cable if available.

Uneven Lighting or Shadows

• Adjust Product Placement: Reposition the product within the studio box to minimize unwanted shadows. Experiment with different angles.
• Check Backdrop Installation: Ensure the chosen backdrop is smoothly installed and not creating creases or wrinkles that could cast shadows.
• Clean Diffuser: If any light diffusers are used, ensure they are clean and properly placed to evenly distribute light.

Flimsy Structure / Panels Disconnecting

• Secure Snap Buckles: Double-check that all snap buckles are firmly engaged to hold the studio box structure together. Apply gentle pressure until they click into place.
• Gentle Handling: The studio box is designed to be portable; handle it gently during setup and use to prevent accidental disconnections of the panels.
