Setup
E-commerce product video
Overhead brackets, turntables and lights for a brand or studio shooting repeatable SKU videos — hero spins and pack shots.
What you need
-
A key light and a softbox.
One COB (RC 60B or Aputure LS 60x) in a matching softbox, slightly above the lens. Glossy cartons need a large source; a bare LED is a specular mess. A 32 in reflector on the fill side before a second head.
-
An overhead bracket.
SmallRig desk overhead bracket (4324) or CT25 overhead tripod puts the camera square to the table. A tilted top-down is what makes a listing look amateur.
-
A 360° turntable.
SmallRig 12 in motorized turntable (4807) for hero spins. Hands rotating the SKU do not scale.
-
A locked camera position.
Tripod or overhead rig, not handheld. Bring your own camera: 50–90 mm equivalent, taped manual focus, clean HDMI if you monitor. A phone in the overhead clamp is a valid starter. Mirrorless and compact bodies are not a filled shelf.
-
A pocket fill.
Aputure MC Pro or a SmallRig Vibe panel for a rim on dark products.
-
Backdrop.
Godox backdrops are in the catalog with no price — enquire. A paper sweep you own is fine on day one.
