Photo Studio In A Box

Hi,

Just ordered this: http://americanrecorder.com/catalog/...ge.php?pID=157

American Recorder's Photo Studio In A Box.

Looked perfect for what I want/need to do and looks like it comes with everything I'll need.

Pretty slick looking all-in-one unit. What was the cost?

**Mer** · 03-14-2007, 10:53 AM

Worked out to about $70 shipped. That's wholesale though. Not sure what the street price on them is.

Looks pretty good. There was lots of discussion on a very similar looking setup in the Darkroom section. Should be perfect for taking pictures of small items like what you make. Good find.

This is a really good price.

Actually if you scroll down to the bottom of this page:

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsmile701QQhtZ-1

you'll se them for $39 + $15 shipping. I just cancelled my original order and picked up one of these. $54.00 shipped is pretty good.

Just a quick follow up,

My Photo Studio:

arrived today exactly as described. I'm very happy with the quality for the price.

Can't wait to get some photos taken.

Eric,

Question about voltage set up. I assume it is 110v or is adjustable to 240v.
I would like to get one of these set ups, but am decided by voltage ultimately. Apart from that how is it?

Thanks
John

**Mer** · 03-16-2007, 01:47 PM

Yup, it's a 110 setup.

I'm very happy with the overall quality for the money. Nice sturdy material.

**johnmw1** · 03-16-2007, 01:49 PM

Thanks for the quick reply Eric,

Bummer, now I have to really think is it worth the value without the lights?

John

**GeeQue** · 03-16-2007, 06:57 PM

Please post some pics taken with this set-up

**Mer** · 03-17-2007, 05:08 AM

Definitely,

I'll have some newly modded Progresses finished that I'm looking forward to shooting.

Eric

**Mer** · 03-17-2007, 12:33 PM

Here's one I just took:

This is my first time shooting with a light box. I'm very happy with the results.

**DoubleE** · 03-17-2007, 12:39 PM

Very nice photo and very nice looking Progress!

**GeeQue** · 03-17-2007, 05:54 PM

Very nice indeed !

**mark the shoeshine boy** · 03-19-2007, 03:46 PM

**DoubleE** · 03-19-2007, 03:50 PM

One of these the size of a car would make your life a lot easier wouldn't it Mark????

I'm thinking one a bit larger than a car would work better...

I thought about that after I posted it and KNEW some smart&%$ would comment! I had it narrowed down to 3 but you led the pack Randy! You haven't lost your touch!

**mark the shoeshine boy** · 03-21-2007, 08:20 AM

ha ha ha ....

i was really serious about the that...if it is big enough or not...

I have hats for sale and clothes that would look better photographed with this type of setup...

as a side note, if I had one like the one Randy told me about earlier with an online dealership...now that ould be awesome...
