Q&A’s
Do you do any software which will do 360° product photography?
- We have two recommendations with available options.
Firstly we recommend ensuring the lighting set up and products are correctly exposed before taking the product photos. This will reduce any editing or retouching that will need to be done, saving time post production.
When you are then ready to take the sequence shots with the PIXAPRO ORBIT600 360° Motorised Turntable. You can control the angle of the product using the remote included, without the need of moving anything. This will ensure that they are perfectly aligned, which will mean less hassle when editing them into a GIF or other 360° spin software. You can pause the turntable at any point to take a photo, if you wish to avoid any possible flickering/blurring in the images. The latest Adobe Photoshop CC is the best choice for batching images for 360°.
OPTION 1: Using Adobe Photoshop CC to convert multiple image into a GIF
The latest Adobe Photoshop CC will allow you to merge multiple images in to one 360° rotation, as a gif file. You will be asked what frame rate you want the image set to. For 16 frames 10fps is fast, 6fps medium and 3fps slow. Please ensure there is sufficient memory when saving your work, otherwise you will need to reduce the file sizes even further. For website images 100kb or less work well.
Cost: £8.57/ month

OPTION 2: Using Sirv to create an interactive 360° spin https://sirv.com/
You can also use Sirv to create an interactive 360° spin for the web. You can upload a set of photos, wait a few seconds for a link, copy the embed link and paste this anywhere on your website, and you will have an interactive 360° image with zooming. Sirv works on all the major browsers, phones and tablets, iPhone and Android. Sirv needs a series of jpeg images numbered in sequential order in order to create a 360° image.
Cost: Dependant on plan

Excellemt Quality Light
I have only recently started to equip my home studio. I already have some much cheaper Chinese strobe flash lights (about £40 to £50 each) which, although they work satisfactorily, are nowhere near the build quality and versatility of this Pixapro Lumi light. It is strongly built in metal rather than plastic so that I am happy to hang a soft box onto it, which with cheaper plastic lights would not be a good idea. It has a strong and well made clamp to adjust the angle of the light, which doesn't slip when a soft box is added. It is heavier than a plastic light but is nicely balanced with no toppling risk until light modifiers are fitted, but this is not a problem with a decent quality stand ballasted with sand bag or weights and well spread legs.
It has an internal cooling fan and independently controllable model, strobe light and beep function. It can work as a master or slave light. If you have a radio transmitter with built in control functions fitted to your camera hot shoe then light brightness settings (model and strobe} are adjustable from the camera. There is a USB socket to plug an all singing/dancing wireless receiver into for full remote control, as well as the usual 3.5mm sync socket for sync cable or simple basic triggering receiver. A nice touch is the provision of a hole in the reflector to enable an umbrella to be fitted with the reflector attached.
I didn't mind paying more to get so much more quality and versatility. It's too early to be able to comment on how well it will last with regular and hard use but am optimistic in view of its build quality. The instruction manual is well written too, without the usual poor English often found with so many other products.

Lights, Camera, Awesome!,
Value for money here is paramount! - these strobes are awesome - Great power range, modelling lamp and solid reliable build. So good in fact i bought a second one. My goto gear people. Keep it up Pixapro!
Very impressive kit!
I bought this kit at the photography show after being able to try it out. I am seriously impressed with the quality of everything. The carrying case has wheels and is a bonus. Everything fits in the case including the stands and softboxes. Light heads have metal casing.Took everything out of the case, put together, plugged in triggers and transmitter and it worked perfectly first time. Very little delay between shots. I hardly noticed any to be honest. Not the lightest weight kit and I wouldn't recommend it if you aim to use public transport. .. but if it's in the car and off it's perfect. The softboxes are great quality and quite large at 60 x 90 cm. Not the easiest things to put up but it gets easier once you've done it a couple of times. I may get easy assemble softboxes in the future if I travel with it much. This kit has a 2 year warranty as well. Personally I'm delighted.
Bargain and top marks
I bought a set to suplliment my exsiting studio lights, I find I use them more as they are more user friendly, and better built
Highly recommended
