This is a simple setup and is great fo all sorts of simple product photography, with the camera set on a tripod it does not matter how long the exposure is so long as the lights are lighting the product. It is important to kill any ambient light as this can effect the image, if the item is reflected be careful as the scene will be reflected in it.
We have several product photography videos like out Ten Tips

No white / grey card to get the white balance right?
Thanks for all of the great information and recommendations!
I can hear the light holders clicking loudly. If you don't loosen them before you angle them you going to strip the gears.Is that a Cockney accent we are hearing. I'm a good boy I am.
thanks a bunch
for a video recording with these kind of setings on lights, wich ISO level i need to use ?
so how did you get the final shot
I don't even know what watt I was using. Long time not to use an umbrella because I got 0 knowledge…I really want to know how to shoot like Amazon listing….
Good video. I had umbrellas long time ago but when I took a clothing picture, it looks dark. I want to have photo look more direct light, bright. If I use 125w white bulbs like you, photo will be brighter. I see table picture looks very clean and bright.
Thanks! Very helpful!
Why 2 umbrellas exactly? And why not reflective umbrellas?
What kind of watch are you wearing?
Thanks for the video. I want to do photography for my products (long dresses) for my web store. With low budget, which kit I should start with
How come the link for the umbrella kit doesn't work?
Where can i find the ceramic bulb holders? Thanks! Good information!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Will this setup work also for a video setting (close video tutorial)?
