I use to have a pop up nylon light tent. It was hella expensive back in the day when options were few. It had a lot of cool stuff like and was very functional, but it was big and a pain. The nylon had become dirty over the years, too. It was never really bright enough, either, so I was having to do too much post editing.
This is my new one.
I love it! It is a bit smaller, but what I REALLY like is that it has GREAT built in LED lights and even better- the front lights are angled inwards to lighten the subject. It's not real easy to move around, though. It isn't extremely rigid, but it works a charm. I'm very happy with it! I do virtually no post editing using this. I use my camera phone and get great shots the first time.

rockjunquie, Looks good. But how do you avoid reflections from the led's when shooting cabs? I've tried a couple of different boxes and my images show bright little dots on cabs that obscure or draw attention away from what I'm trying to emphasize. For me they work well for faceted stones but not cabs. Do you have some "secret sauce?"

I place the pieces facing out.
