I’ve written a few books where I had to take several pictures of something very close-up, and I wish I had the Foldio for it.

Many of the pictures that we see of small items in a catalog are done with painstaking precision. They are a product of getting a background of a solid color, and perfect lighting. All this to create an illusion that this item exists in some alternate dimension, unless you can set it free with your purchase. Okay, that’s a little waxing philosophical, but you see what I mean.

The Foldio is essentially a portable fold-up photo studio, made to be used with the cameras on cellular phones. You can see at my Source a video that shows someone trying to sell a watch on eBay, and this Foldio is definitely the way to go to get that picture you need.

This is a Kickstarter project, and I checked and saw that it has made its $10,000 goal with 400 percent to spare. All in all, I like it, and hope that this will be made for the average Joe to buy.
