Gear needed for the course
Turn-Tables
T urnspro Time Lapse Camera Mount
Good:
Smooth, long-running, takes two AA batteries. Good for small items, including jewelry. Low price
Bad:
Does not have a remote, comes without a plate (since this is pano head, not a turn table) – you have to buy a screw-in plate separately
Syrp Genie Mini Panning Motion Control System
Smooth rotation, long battery life, has a remote smartphone app, variable speeds, usb charging. BEST
Higher that usual price, can behave strange due to a sophistication (Bluetooth, Application on smartphone to operate)
Vello MPH-P8 Plate for Pan Head (8")
This is a plate for turntables and panning heads (like Syrp Gene Mini and TursPro), it screws into a head’s pin.
Great to make DIY turn table from anything that rotates:-)
Arqspin 24" Motorized Photography Turntable
Accept up to 300lb, great for shooting large products or outfits on a model.
No remote
Vello FreeWave Orbit Motorized Pan Head with Remote and MPH-P8 Plate Kit
Great for any panorama/video shooting, but not for Cappasity 3D scan software because can’t spin for more than 360°.
Only 360° rotation, it WON’T WORK with Cappasity 3D Scan
Arqspin 9" Motorized Photography Turntable
Low price, comes with white top plate
Rotation is not smooth enough for macro/jewelry shooting, no remote
Arqspin 12" Motorized Photography Turntable
Overall it’s a good turn table for any medium sized product, comes with white top plate.
Lighting
Godox SL-100W Studio Continuous Video Light Lamp Bowens Mount
Good for most of photo-video work, not expensive, reliable for it’s price. Bowens mount means many accessories and light modifiers on a market. Comes with a remote (wireless)
Large and bulky
Limo Studio 700W Photography Softbox Light Lighting Kit
Low price, has a built-in softbox, comes in kit of 2 and with light stands
Not as bright as LED, takes time to “heat up” for the CFL bulb, light modifier can’t be replaced by anything else
YONGNUO YN-600 Pro LED Video Light/ Led Studio Light
Color balanced photo/video light, low price, can be used without softbox
No light modifiers possible, only built-in barndoors.
YONGNUO YN100 LED Sun Light 100W 5500K for Camera Video YN100 LED
Similar to Godox by features, but in smaller case
Price?
Studio PRO 450W 2 Photography Photo Video Studio Continuous 5500K Lighting Kit
Low-cost, includes 2 lights, comes with light stands
Low power comparing to LED, no light modifier (no softbox), must be used with a diffuser to reduce glare from glossy parts
Polaroid Lighting 150W Equivalent 2200 Lumen PAR38 Dimmable LED Light
DIY Solution, great light for the money. Directed (spot) light for DIY softbox of with a diffuser/light tent
No light modifiers are possible, requires additional gear to be used (stands, socket)
Light Modifiers and Accessories
Limo Studio Photo Video Studio 10ft Adjustable Muslin Background Backdrop Support System Stand
Holds any background (backdrop) for a professional studio. Will work with large items
Requires a backdrop
Savage Widetone Seamless Background Paper
Good and large white background paper
Savage Seamless Background Paper, 53" wide x 12yards
Good background paper
