Hi Sandi
I have not used these units because from what I can see you are spending between 90 and 200 dollars for a briefcase with a piece of reflective cloth in it. Thats it. No lights, Nothing. I do use the sharpics tabletop monopod and I love it but these briefcase things to me are a waste. If you have read the CloudDome vs Light tent thread you will see a lot of info about how to make a good cheap light tent and how to get good cheap lighting. If you do want to spend a bit more money then go with the Tabletop Studio Bead kit (
http://store.tabletopstudio-store.com/bephkit.html) for 275 dollars. Its got 2 different light tents as well as lights, backdrops, risers and some other items. Hope this helps
