In this video, we're gonna run through how to set up
the Hypop 100 cm X 200 cm photo table.
It comes in two parts.
This is the Perspex board here.
So that's the surface.
And this is the frame of the photo table inside this carry bag.
So here's the frame inside this carry bag here.
So, we'll just go through the carry bag really quickly.
It should include some parts in this small pocket at the front.
There's two black handles here.
And two allen keys.
So, these are two different size allen keys used for different purposes
when building the frame.
And there's just a small guide here in how to put the pieces together.
So, that's the black frame there of the photo table.
It just shows how many pieces of what and where it goes
in the actual frame.
So, it's a good guide.
We'll open this part up here.
So, there's a velcro pouch right at the top here.
That's the large pouch.
And then there's three parts here in the middle.
And there's two columns here of poles.
They're part bits and pieces of the frame.
So we'll open up the middle part here.
Okay, so the three pouches down the middle here.
To the top pouch here consisted of just the bar,
the top bar here, which looks like it's part number seven.
So that's just a little--
It's one of the edges of the corners of the frame.
And there's eight pegs here.
So these pegs, they actually clamp on the perspex board.
And you've got three clamps with little spigot mounts on the top here.
So, these clamps with spigot mounts.
Therefore, positioning along the bottom of the frame,
which you can attach lights and other bits and pieces to your actual photo table
once it's all set up.
Okay, so down these two sides here.
Got the other bits and pieces of the frame.
So, that's all the pieces that have been removed from the actual bag.
First thing to do is to unwrap all of these posts of the frame
and just identifying what piece is what.
Okay, so we've now removed the plastics from all the bits and pieces
of the frame here.
And what we've done is we've put them into the groups
based on the instruction guide here.
So on the instruction guide,
you have different numbers for each of the parts.
So there's part one through to part eight,
and tells you how many pieces of each part there are.
So, here we've got them from one to eight.
So for part one, it's a longer part here with two openings.
They're all matching pieces.
So, you just need to look for parts that look the same,
and group them all together.
For part two, these are the legs.
So, there's a T bar at the top here.
And at the bottom, there's nothing that serves as the leg of the actual table.
So, there's four parts of part two.
Now, part three.
Part three, there's only one part.
And that serves as the frame for the back of the actual table.
So that's the top of the frame for the back.
Part four, it's a part here that doesn't have anything on one end.
And on the other end here, it kind of looks like a spade or shovel part here,
which is actually the join for the back of the table.
So, that part there will attach to the handle later on
and allows you to swivel the table up and down.
There's two parts for that for part four.
Part Five is the part that connects to the swivel back of the table.
So, this here will be the actual top part of your table
that will serve as a top part that there.
On this end, on one end, it's actually just plain.
On the other end here, there's two screws that will use the allen key to loosen
and then attach on to the back of the actual frame of the table there.
And this part six.
Part six is a really short part,
so that there is on both ends, it's got a little T bar bracket.
And that there will connect to the front end of your actual table.
You will need to loosen with the allen keys that are provided
and rotate one of the ends here to face horizontal instead of vertical.
And the other ends will remain vertical.
So, we'll show that in the video video shortly.
And part seven, this is the front part of the frame.
Based on the photo, it's right at the bottom front of the actual frame
that allows that S curve of the actual perspex of the table.
And part eight.
So, part eight is actually the bottom part of the actual frame.
There's a square frame at the bottom of the table
that provides more stability for the table.
And part eight is the shorter part based on part one.
Part one and part eight look the same.
The only difference is as you can tell the length there.
So, that's how you can tell.
So firstly, group them all together from parts one to eight,
based on the actual diagram.
So, it's a little bit easier for you to put things together.
So, now that we know what part is what,
what we need to do is start constructing the table.
So constructing the table involves the allen keys that are provided.
So, these are the two allen keys, two different sizes.
And what you need to do to construct the table is start from the bottom to the top.
So, start with your legs first,
and the square frame around the base of the actual table,
and then work your way up.
That's the easiest way to go about doing it.
So, we now have the base of the actual table constructed.
So, what you'll find when you're setting up the frame,
and the bottom part of the frame here is that the longer parts here
are the front and back.
So that's the direction the actual table will be facing.
So, the shorter ends will be the sides.
And the longer parts will be the front and the back.
So, the easiest way to go about doing this firstly is to get the leg,
loosen with the large allen key,
loosen the actual corners here,
and then feed through to each of the legs,
or the frame of the legs here at the base.
So, they need to stack on top of each other.
What you'll find is they fit perfectly, that one end will be--
That will fit on to the next stand.
It's sort of all the way around in the four pieces there.
So, that's how you go about doing that.
Next part would be to actually start constructing the top part of the frame here.
The top part as well the sides of the base and then the back.
And that's what we'll go ahead and do now.
Okay, so we've now put together part five and part six.
So, part five here are the top part of the table, it's the sides.
And that part there,
you can distinguish the back part of it would be two allen screws right there at the back,
which will require the smaller allen key for.
And that's the left and the right side there.
And then part six are the shorter sides here.
So part six, what you'll find firstly is that they're both first thing vertical.
And what you'll need to do is for one of them,
you will need to loosen with the allen key
and then rotate horizontally there
because that will allow you to mount part seven
which is just the crossbar at the front there,
later on during the construction process.
Now, you can see we've completed the back part of the frame,
and we've attached the handles here on the side.
So, you can loosen these larger handles to control the height adjustment of the backing.
So, now we can adjust the screw to tighten.
So, the actual frame part is completed.
But what you need to take note of is firstly to just balance out all the different parts
that you've loosened and put together.
So as you can see, right now the actual table doesn't seem balanced,
like some parts may be higher than the others.
So, what we'll do now is just go around, loosen them up,
readjust to make sure everything is correct and even.
So, now what we need to do is go ahead and put the perspex backing onto the table.
So it comes rolled up just like this.
There's two sides to the perspex board.
So, one side is like a matte side,
and that's the underside of the actual tabletop.
And on the inside here,
there's some protective film that covers the actual surface of the tabletop.
So, that's the top side and that's what you just need to be aware of
when you're placing this on the table.
It's best to do this with two people because it is a large table.
So, as you can see here,
we've now mounted the table top to the frame here itself.
So, it's a little tricky.
There's eight pegs that are provided,
it's best as always to people.
Firstly, the actual table top is rolled in one direction.
So, as you can see here, it becomes an S curve shape.
And because it is an S curve shape,
this bottom part here is going against how it was originally manufactured.
Over time, that will actually loosen as you have it set up on the table top here.
As you can see, there's no bowing at the bottom of the tabletop here.
It's quite solid.
We're able to put something on top which we'll demonstrate shortly.
But as you can see here, this bottom part goes downwards
and this top part goes curved in the same direction it was manufactured in.
So, just place all your pegs in even positions around the table.
It should be two at the top here,
two on either side here at the top back part of the frame,
two at the at the base here of the actual table
and then two to secure down at the bottom to make that S curve.
There's three other parts that come with the table.
These are clamps with spigots on the top.
So, these spigots here, they're five eight spigots.
They're standard light fittings.
They also have a quarter inch thread at the top here,
which you can mount other sorts of Lights, Cameras most.
It's pretty much a universal screw mount for cameras and lighting gear.
So, what these are used for, these are optional.
So, these aren't required,
but what they're typically used for
is to mount to the bottom part of the frame here of the actual table.
So, one part here is sort of like an arrowhead shape.
Just loosen the knob.
That arrow head shape now hugs onto the round side of the frame into place there.
And then you actually just screw to tighten.
You can mount these on one on either side,
and perhaps one on the front or one of the back part of the actual table there.
So, they typically provide additional lighting.
So, if you do purchase additional lighting with your photo table,
you can light the underside of the table.
And what this will do is try and negate some of the shadows
that your part of the subject is actually creating here on the surface.
This table top is actually translucent.
So, some of that light will pass through, but it'll be a diffused light.
So, that'll be a lot better in terms of trying to get rid of shadows in your product photos.
Okay, so, we placed a couple of things on top of the table surface here
just to show its weight capacity that it can handle.
So, a couple of these flashes in the boxes,
they're roughly about two and a half to three kilos each.
So, it's looking at about five to six kilos sitting on top here.
We wouldn't suggest putting anything else heavier than that on to the table.
So anything that say above five kilos.
If you're wanting to do that, then it's best advised to use perhaps just the floor or a table surface
with some sort sort of white background if that's what you're wanting to use as a background.
If you're wanting,
as you can see underneath the table is actually not supported or not stabilized.
There's no horizontal crossbars to support that.
So, that's why we wouldn't definitely suggest to overload the table top there
to somewhere up to about five kilos.
