Correct Positioning
GEMLIGHTBOX MACRO USER MANUAL | CORRECT POSITIONING
Correct positioning of your loose stones is critical to the quality of the 360-video. Position the
loose stone correctly to capture the details of the gems or diamonds in the best light possible.
Follow the steps below for the optimal position.
Use the height and depth
adjustment on both sides of
the box to adjust the posi-
tion of the loose stone. En-
sure that the stone is not too
far backward or too far for-
ward to get the best result.
Always position the gem in
the center of the disc; oth-
erwise, the gem will be car-
ried farther away from the
center of the turntable when
it rotates. The disc comes
with a groove to mark the
center point. Place the gem
right on the groove and start
shooting.
Use the width and height
adjustment to position the
gemstones closer or farther
away from the lens. Small
stones should be moved
closer to the lens and large
ones farther away from the
lens to achieve the optimal
result.

Frequently Asked Questions
GEMLIGHTBOX MACRO USER MANUAL | FAQ
1. What is the best lighting setup to
use?
Macro has four (4) lighting setups — Sparkles,
White, Blue, and Yellow.
Ninety percent (90%) of the time, we will use the
White light alone.
If you want to add sparkles to your diamond, you
may turn on the Sparkle light without switching the
white light off. Use the Blue and Yellow light for
colored stones and diamonds as needed.
2. How do I clean the GemLightbox
Macro?
The GemLightbox Macro is made from durable
materials. It is easy to clean. You may use any
non-toxic, acidic cleaners for regular cleaning, but
always spray your cleaning product onto a micro-
ber cloth, then use this cloth to wipe the surfaces
of your GemLightbox Macro. Never apply or spray
cleaning products directly onto it.
3. Where can I check the warranty?
Unless specied by your country, the GemLight-
box Macro comes with a one (1) year warranty.
