My first one is a light table or copy stand that may be a bit different from some. Pardon the photos because I didn't have enough time to haul it upstairs into better light. The table is a translucent diffusing white plastic piece which can slide out for cleaning. The top two lights can be swiveled over quite a range but the entire upper supports can be moved towards the tripod or away from it. The bottom lights are on a dimmer control and are adjusted to just get rid of shadows. The tripod is mounted tight against the box but the third leg (which would be coming out towards the viewer) has been removed. The head moves up at an angle which is compensated for by my custom shaped maple interface which I can show in another photo. When used near a window it has been quite effective. I used it mainly for close-up shots of electronic components for my books.
