overview
The Ombar comes in a small box, as it is collapsible and folds flat. The product is well packaged and the assembly is simple enough that the accompanying instructions are virtually unnecessary.

When folded, the Ombar has an included handle.
What we like
One of the best features of this product is how simple it is to set up and adjust based on needs. Since all panels are glued together, popping the top panel to switch backgrounds takes only a few seconds. The box has windows on the front and top that fold down and make shooting from a variety of angles quite easy. The inside of the box is also lined with a reflective silver material.
The light emitted is very bright and even, especially when using a white background. Since the box has two front and one top windows, it’s a simple matter of capturing your subject from a variety of angles to capture as much detail as possible.
Switching between colored backdrops is also a streamlined process and requires opening the lid of the box, peeling back the diffuser material (if you’re using it), and removing the existing backdrop, which is attached via two small velcro square.
Overall, the lightbox delivers a pleasant experience in terms of setup, use, luminous efficiency, and results.
What we don’t like
The biggest downside to Ombar is found when using any colored backdrop, as the background color will be noticeably lighter than the bottom back edge of the box (where the backdrop touches the back of the box and points upwards). .
Another downside to the box is that the front window doesn’t go all the way to the bottom, which means you have to open the front of the box to photograph an item straight in and not from a slight angle (unless you place it with flat and shot from above, may not be ideal for all items).
