Photography Reflector & Light Tank

I saw some of the folks captured nice product pictures. I wonder why some of them can get a very "white" background. After some research, now I realized it was using "Tank".
Not sure why but most of the shop does not have any stock for Light Tank a.k.a Fordable Tank when I search around Penang Komtar area. Some of them even told me they don't sell this cheaper product but they only sell a complete set of Tank (with light) and it cost around RM1000++. Oh my god... How can I afford this.

Komtar area shops that I visited + did sell this product are Click n Snap (Komtar/Opposite Chinese Temple), Mega Star and also Hike Enterprise (These 2 shops at opposite of Komtar/Beside Chinese Temple). Click n Snap told me to come back after a week and the price they told me was RM120. I walked around that area then went to Mega Star. The price that given was RM105 but it is only available after 2-3 weeks. What a bad luck... When I went to Hike Enterprice, the last unit was just sold out and will not have this product in a short while.

Too bad that I could not get what I want. I went back to Click n Snap and decided to get a reflector - It cost me RM120. You might get cheaper price at somewhere else but I just lazy to search around again as this will waste my time and petrol. The online price I saw for this rectangle Reflector was RM170, so I don't mind to pay for RM120 here. Note: There are different size and design of reflector. Some of them are smaller, some of them are triangle shape and some of them only with single color.

I tried to visit the same shop after a week... Finally... I got my Light Tank this time. :)
The one at top with "DIGI COLOR" is Reflector and the bottom one is Light Tank. Let's see how it looks like.

The top in the picture is Light Tank with 4 colors of background and the bottom one is the Reflector.


When I open it up, this is the look for the Light Tank at top. I place a chair beside it and you may imagine the size easier. For the reflector, the silver one is actually looks like a cloth for the reflector. If you want to get the sun reflect like a white spot light, then you have to put the reflector inside this cloth. The reflector I bought contained 2 colors - Silver and Gold. If you want to change the color, just open the zip and fold to another side. :)
