Hello

I am looking for a shooting table, someone has an idea where I get this table in Thailand and what is the price?

I have seen a small table at MBK. I cant remember the name of the store, but its 3rd level, right side (as you enter the building). It was 2,500 THB if I remember correctly. I have seen a large table at World Camera Lad Phrao, but I dont know the cost.

I have been using white future board. Its very cheap and you can get a large piece at B2S. You can also get a log stip of acrylic at B2S. I place the acrylic across two objects then the future board on top of the acrylic (the future board won't support anything heavy, so thats why the acrylic). Then shoot the light up from underneath. Here is an example of using the future board for some product shots:

Hello Lance

thank's for the quick answer. With B2S you mean - Books Music Stationery - ? Can you give me a address of a shop that have the future boards and acrylic plates? I don't live in Bangkok it will be very nice if you have a address near Future Park this area I know good.

P.Studio66,

Yes, B2S, the book, music and stationary store. The one at future park has future board and acrylic, as well as the one at Zeer. You can find them at the back of the store and they come in a couple different sizes. From 10cm to about 50cm square. If you want a really large piece of future board (1.5 meters X 2.5 meters), HomePro carries them, but you will have to go to a specialty store to find the acrylic that big and it can be quite expensive.

Also, I did notice Advanced Photo Systems  sells several different tables, although I have not seem them in person. Their website lists several Manfrotto versions:

I know the Manfrotto table, this table is the Mercedes under the shooting tables, unfortunately, for the approximate price as a Mercedes  . I think of a cheaper table (china copy). There like a Made in China said table so I would like also to see before.

Lance are you German? You have a German family name.
