Manfrotto 220B Black Still Life Table

A still life table earns its place by letting light come from behind the subject as easily as from in front. The 220B carries a translucent Perspex sweep on a black frame, so a strobe under or behind the table lights the product through the surface and kills the shadow line where the sweep curves up. The back panel tilts, which lets the horizon behind the subject be set without moving the camera.

It assembles and comes apart without tools, and the Perspex mounts with the supplied fastener tape, so it can be broken down and stored between jobs rather than occupying a studio corner permanently. Overall footprint is 200 by 122 cm, the panel stands 193 cm high with the back vertical, and the table is rated for a 15 kg subject.
