The fluorescent fittings have no HF ballast, so the light flickers slightly.
Accessories
In the box above the booth:
Two-part articulated arm
DSLR bracket, to mount the arm on top of a camera
Smartphone holder
Bag of spare nuts, screws and parts
The DJI Osmo Action is also kept in the booth.
When you're done
Roll the backdrop paper back up neatly, so it doesn't crease. A crumpled end can be cut off.
Switch off the lights.
Put accessories back in the box.
Backdrop paper
The booth takes a 70 cm wide roll. It can be ordered from e.g. Mattonbutiken. If 70 cm is hard to find, buy a wider roll and saw it to width.
Planned improvements
