Introducing EZspin photography. Our white EZspin turntable was created with ease of use in mind for your web and auction photography needs. Bring your products to life using our new 14" white EZspin turntable. Combine this turntable with any of our Universal lighting kits, for fast slam dunk spinning objects. Just place your product in the center of the turntable and shoot. Rotate the turntable and shoot again. Continue rotating/shooting until you have your desired number of still image views. Six views of your item is the minimum. No special proprietary software is needed; you can turn your series of still images into animated files using Photoshop.

   
Hula box is 6 still images / background removed

For those of you who just want to pop your product in and shoot 6 views, like our hula box example, for the quickest Ebay slideshow spin. Just use the six special marked dots printed on the outer edge of the turntable, and forget about counting degrees. The possibilities of spinning your small subjects are endless.  If your more advanced and want more views for a smoother spin, we've fully labeled our turntable in 10 degree increments up to 360 degrees.

Let's get started...

Step 1.

Just place your item in the center of the turntable. Decide how many views you would like to shoot for your spinning product. I recommend starting with six views. It's easier to work with just 6 images for your first spin.  The hula box is a great example of a 6 image spin. "You can't fail using the 6 dot system"

Step 2.

Use the 6 equally spaced dots on the outer edge of the white turntable. Snap your first photo, then rotate the turntable to the next dot and snap again.

Keep track of your starting point by using a visual reference point. I lined up my first dot with a tiny " x " on my background. Rotate each dot into position with the mark and shoot. Repeat until you have all six still image views.

Step 3.

Open your six images in Photoshop now to create your animation...
