Thank you for choosing the Impact Digital Light Shed. This tabletop shooting
enclosure features a high-quality translucent cloth material housing, perfect
for photographing jewelry, glassware, and other highly reective objects.
It’s also perfect for generating consistently illuminated images for catalogs
or e-commerce. The translucent material will dramatically reduce unwanted
reections and give you soft, nearly shadowless lighting. The Impact Digital
Light Shed can be lit with electronic ash, uorescent, or tungsten light
sources. It can be lit from the sides, top, back, front, or can be placed on a
shooting table for bottom illumination. The Impact Digital Light Shed includes
removable white plastic bases and black and white sweeps, giving you a
choice of backgrounds. Please read these instructions carefully on how to
assemble and then break down your Impact Digital Light Shed.
Key Features
• Lighting is made simple and efcient, taking less time
than conventional lighting solutions
• Portable with easy setup and breakdown
• Dual zippered front and side panels for camera lens positioning
• Bottom panel peels back on all four sides
for easy positioning of objects inside
