That mega man patch on your case looks awesome.

That setup is all you need right there! That’s a pretty cool DIY soft box you built. I bet you’d get a lot nicer shadows if you put only one larger diffused overhead light in the box. But still looks awesome as is!

thats the second time its been recommended and I keep forgetting to do that. Might add a sheet of wax paper or something in front of the LED’s

I’m assuming you typically photograph things bigger than yoyos? Do you do product photography as a job?
What works really well is that cheap silk like material that places will use to make little organizer bins and such. I have no idea what the material is called, but it’s this stuff. Same material they use to make the diffuser umbrellas for my lights, and pop-up soft boxes. Tape some of that over your LED’s and it’ll work like a charm.
Sometimes products. Mainly artworks though.

thats a great suggestion, i’m sure i can find some in a small roll on amazon lol
Yeah, totally! And if you ever want to upgrade without getting too serious, pretty sure you can get little yo-yo sized product soft boxes with included lighting on Amazon for like $20. But shoot, $20 is 1/5th of a MK1 RBC, so that may or may not be worth it for you. This is how I weigh all my financial decisions now. I compare them against the cost of buying a new yo-yo.

This one looked pretty good to me. Especially since it comes with the light diffuser sheet for the ceiling.
