Digital Light Shed

INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Impact Digital Light Shed.
This tabletop shooting enclosure features a high­quality translucent fabric housing, making it ideal for
photographing jewelry, glassware, and other highly
reective objects. It’s also perfect for generating
consistently illuminated images for use in catalogs or
e-commerce. The translucent material will dramatically
reduce unwanted reections and give you soft, nearly
shadowless lighting. The shed can be lit with electronic
strobe, uorescent, tungsten, or LED light sources.
With the ability to be lit from all sides and the added
convenience of the included white and black sweeps, the
Impact Digital Light Shed is the perfect platform for small
item photography.

Instructions

Setting Up Your Digital Shed Light

1. Remove the digital light shed
from its storage bag.

2. Holding it away from your body,
unfold the light shed from its
folded, stacked form.

3. The sides of the light shed are
folded together into layers. Lift
one of the layers from the other
as if you were opening a book.

4

4. With the rst layer lifted 90°,
grab a corner from inside the
layers and pull it out. The light
shed will pop open.

5. Peel the touch-fastener cover
away from the front opening.
This opening gives you access
to set up the scene inside the
shed.

6. Your kit also includes white and
black sweeps, providing more
background choices. They can
be secured to the shed with the
touch-fastener corners.

7. You can shoot through the
zipper in the front panel
or remove the front panel
altogether. With the front panel
removed you can rotate the
Digital Light Shed and place it
over your scene.

8. Additionally, positioning the
shed with the top zipper on
the side gives you the ability
to shoot your scene from many
different angles.

9. The dual zippers allow you to
place the camera high, low, or
in the middle of the light shed.

10. Keep the openings closed to
minimize reections.

Folding for Storage

1. Remove and store the
background sweep.

2. Grab a corner and fold it into
its opposite, creating an L
shape.

3. Be sure the metal support
frames are not twisted before
folding. The light shed will not
properly collapse if any of the
frames are twisted. You can
straighten a twisted support
frame and continue to fold the
light shed.

6

4. Fold the light shed at.

5. Grasp the light shed as shown.
Note that your thumbs should
be on opposite sides of the
unit.

6. Twist the light shed into a
gure-eight shape.

7. Continue twisting and pull the
sides together as shown. The
sides will pass one in front of
the other until they are stacked
together.
