As an initial backer of the original Foldio photo studio, it’s pretty amazing to see how far the product line has come in terms of evolution, going from a simple idea that championed portability, to a more expert solution that gives you pro-features. The original Foldio from 2013 (I’ve still got mine) was quite literally a foldable photo-studio that could fit in an envelope that slid under your door. 7 years later, the original Foldio is still a great product for hobbyists and amateur photographers, but is a different beast compared to the Foldio360 Smart Dome, which offers a stunning list of features that make it the most comprehensive photo-studio for product photography and animation-work. A little larger than a basketball, the Foldio360 Smart Dome is a smart-studio that creates the perfect environment for product photography. it allows you to mount the camera of your choice (a DSLR or a smartphone), and click stunning photos of your product with a seamless white background and zero sharp shadows. A mechanical turntable even lets you capture products from every angle or create rotating animations of it.
The Foldio360 Smart Dome is for creators and for creatives. Whether you have your own Etsy store or online store, or you’re just a product photographer or animator by profession, the Foldio360 Smart Dome helps you take that quintessential white-background product shot. The studio’s spherical design helps reflect light efficiently, creating a seamless, shadow-less scene with a pristine white background and a clearly illuminated product. LED strips embedded into the side of the sphere come with adjustable brightness and temperature, allowing you to perfectly white-balance your photos as you shoot them. A snap-on hood on the front lets you further cut reflections to create a more neutral environment, and openings on the front, as well as the top of the Foldio360 Smart Dome, let you take photos from a variety of angles.
Once you set the studio up, a clamp on the front (with its own spirit level) lets you attach your shooting device – a smartphone or a professional camera. The Foldio360 Smart Dome even comes with a mechanical turntable that you can place your product on, giving you the ability to capture it from 360° – a feature that’s great for online retail, 3D-scanning, or animation. All of Foldio360 Smart Dome’s aforementioned features find a home in the Foldio app, which allows you to control your studio all from a touchscreen interface. You can change the brightness/temperature of the LED lights, rotate the turntable, and even automate the photography process, allowing the Foldio360 Smart Dome to rotate on its own while your smartphone routinely takes pictures without you needing to do anything! Professional product photography couldn’t be any easier than that!

The Design
Orangemonkie redesigned the traditional square photo studio with two main structures: the dual shell structure and the dome shape structure. Why? Because traditional photo studios are overpriced, time-consuming, and require professional training to use. The newly designed dual shell structure uniquely diffuses the light in the interior, eliminating light reflection in your photos. Additionally, the dome shape design enables precise and uniform lighting.
Made to Adjust to Your Product & Environment
Photographers no longer need to move around their equipment after every shot to find the perfect lighting. Simply just adjust the brightness and color temperature with your phone/PC, and switch the front and top covers to take different angles of your product.
Interchangeable magnetic covers – Easily create photos and 360-degree images from different angles.
Sliding door cover – Preserve light to create the perfect product photo and adjust the door depending on your smartphone.
Necklace hanger – Hang your jewelry from the top cover for necklace shots.
Dome stand – Raise the height of the Foldio360 Smart Dome for wider angle camera shots.
3/8″ Male thread – Mount your smartphone using a tripod ball head.
Time-Saving
Traditionally, 360 product photography requires multiple separate purchases: lighting equipment, 360 turntable, lighting box, editing software, and so on. The Foldio360 offers all of this in one single product.
Automatic 360 Shooting – One-touch to automatically shoot, and produce a 360 image.
Center point indicator – Effortlessly locate the center of the turntable.
Upload with ease – Share your shots with our App or PC360 Software easily.
