The Orangemonkie Foldio3 does away with a conventional table or tent design and instead uses a folding corrugated plastic construction. It’s a slim 60 x 40 x 6cm when packed, but opens to a versatile 62cm wide and 65cm tall, with an elegant magnetic fastening system making setup a breeze. One of the included black or white sheets can then attached via Velcro pads to form a seamless backdrop.
But what really makes the Foldio3 special are three strips of dimmable LEDs lining the underside of the roof panel. They create crisp yet soft continuous illumination, with no need to add your own studio lights or flashguns. For a little extra front or side lighting, we’d recommend adding the £35/$20 Halo-Bars: a pair of compact and dimmable LED lights that can be magnetically clipped to the side or base of the Foldio3.
Orangemonkie even offers an optional Bluetooth turntable so you can easily create 360-degree product images.
