Thanks a ton.
I have not opened the B&H box yet.
It is very interesting what your saying that everything is a portrait, I can just pose the bottle like its a human.. lol…

I have grids on all softboxes. Although if the subject is wearing eye glasses I must take those grids off, otherwise I will see the grids reflected in the eye glasses no matter if I’m using a polarizing ring or not. So how in incognito wouldn’t those grids reflect on a bottle?

I watched the YouTube video someone linked above. He’s using 4 lights. And 3 softboxes with a PL filter and a remote shutter.

I have a good stand with a level, the remote shutter. 3 Godox AD300 pro’s. 4 softboxes the one in Amazon link, I have, I’m not really using it since I now have the 60” and 44” for mains and a 12” wide x 5 feet side kicker

I gauss I have to figure out how to build a table that could be disassembled. And a budget how much it will drag me in to get it right.

I’m just wondering about the B&H box. If you look online you’ll see customer submitted photos which doesn’t look that bad. Maybe its just not for a bottle
