The motorized turntable is useful for scale modeling and miniature photography for several reasons:

You can choose the rotation speed that best suits your photographic needs, whether it's a slow, controlled rotation to capture specific details or a faster rotation for dynamic shooting.
5. Hands-Free Operation: Its hands-free electric turntable operation system allows photographers to focus on framing and capturing the perfect shot without the need for an extra pair of hands. This feature is especially useful when you're the only photographer and also need to manage the camera settings.
6. Consistent presentation: When exhibiting a collection of miniatures or scale models, this electric display turntable ensures a consistent and professional presentation. All items can be presented uniformly, giving your collection an organized and attractive look.
7. Time-saving: Using this type of tool saves time during the photography process. You can quickly rotate the item to the desired angle without having to constantly reposition it, making your photoshoot more efficient.
8. Product Video Enhancement: If you create videos to showcase your thumbnails or templates, the electric turntable with adjustable speed can add dynamic motion to your content, making it more appealing to viewers.

How do you make 360-degree images of a thumbnail?

360-degree photography is a technique that involves taking multiple photos of the exterior of a figure or any other object, which will be placed in a video or similar format to give the figure a rotating motion. The goal is to show the entire figure in detail, giving it a dimensional effect.

A rotating display is very useful for a 360º photo, as it allows you to move the thumbnail around without losing the image framing. This is the easiest way to get a good result.

The process isn't difficult when you have the necessary tools. Normally, it is used an electric turntable, a white or colored background that highlights the diorama, a camera or mobile phone, a tripod or a place to put the camera, good lighting, and a basic program for editing videos. The steps are as follows:

1. If you have one, place your chosen photography backdrop with the corresponding lighting.
2. Place the electric turntable in front of the background and the figure to be photographed above and perfectly centered.
3. Place the mobile phone or camera on the tripod or on a stable base. Don't move it until all the photos have been taken.
4. Turn on Auto Photography mode to take a continuous sequence of photos. The movement of the electric turntable will keep the workpiece in its center.
5. Check the focus of the photos, readjust it, and repeat the process until it is correct. You can try moving the camera closer or further away from the object. Keep in mind that the ideal is to take between 24 and 36 images.
6. Load all frames into a video editor, adjusting the timing of each one until the object rotates naturally.

If you don't want the electric turntable to appear in the video, you can remove the background from the images before editing.

It is highly recommended to use them with our softboxes, in order to achieve perfect lighting from all angles.
