4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your PULUZ 80cm Portable Folding Photo Studio:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the package bag and verify against the 'Package Contents' list.
2. Assemble the Frame: Connect the 12 support bars using the 8 three-way connectors to form a cubic frame. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Attach the Studio Box: Unfold the main studio box (nylon cloth). Drape it over the assembled frame, ensuring the reflective interior faces inwards. Secure the studio box to the frame, typically using integrated fasteners or Velcro.
4. Install LED Light Boards: Position the two LED light boards at the top interior of the studio box. They usually attach via Velcro strips or clips. Ensure they are evenly spaced for optimal lighting.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power supply into a suitable AC outlet. Connect the output cable from the power supply to the input port on the LED light boards.
6. Insert Backdrop: Choose one of the three backdrops (black, white, or orange) and secure it inside the studio box. The backdrops typically attach to the top rear of the studio and drape down to the front.
7. Add Soft Cloth Diffuser: If desired, attach the soft cloth diffuser below the LED lights to further soften the light and reduce harsh reflections.

5.2 Choosing Backdrops

• Select the appropriate backdrop (black, white, or orange) based on the product you are photographing and the desired contrast or mood.
• The white backdrop is ideal for clean, high-key product shots, while black provides dramatic, low-key effects. Orange can add a warm tone.

5.3 Shooting Angles

The studio offers multiple shooting options:

• Front Opening: Use the large front opening for standard eye-level shots.
• Top Hole: Utilize the special top hole for 90-degree vertical shots, ideal for capturing products from above.
• Side Window: The left shooting window allows for alternative side angles.

• The silver reflective interior helps distribute light evenly and minimize shadows.
• For softer light and reduced glare on reflective surfaces, use the included soft cloth diffuser.

6. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your photo studio:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces of the studio box. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• LED Lights: Keep the LED light boards free from dust. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the LEDs.
• Backdrops: The backdrops can be gently wiped clean. If creased, they can be carefully ironed on a low setting or steamed.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the studio and store all components in the provided package bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

  • Ensure the power control unit is turned on and the brightness knob is not set to minimum.
  • Verify that the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• Uneven Lighting or Harsh Shadows:
  • Ensure both LED light boards are properly installed and functioning.
  • Use the included soft cloth diffuser to soften the light.
