Foldio4, Orangemonkie's expansive foldable photography setup, unveiled to the public.
*Introducing the Foldio4: The Ultimate Portable Photo Studio*
Embrace the future of product photography with Orangemonkie's monstrous creation—the Foldio4. For 10 years, the Foldio line has been a game-changer for creators, brands, and online sellers, offering a foldable, fuss-free photo studio with a seamless white backdrop and optimal lighting.
This newest addition takes things one step further, offering an expansive 39-inch shooting area, perfect for capturing large items such as bags, laptops, and lifestyle scenes. The Foldio4 has an accommodating space that can easily host the Foldio360 Smart Turntable, enabling you to effortlessly create 360-degree interactive images.

One thing that sets all Foldio models apart is their superior LED lighting design, which consistently delivers clear, even, and shadow-less illumination. The Foldio4 boasts a 4-channel lighting system, allowing independent control over the top, side, and bottom lights, ensuring unparalleled versatility. The LEDs themselves score an impressive >98 in the color rendering index, guaranteeing exceptionally color-accurate lighting. With a maximum brightness of 6500 lux, the Foldio4 features a Halo Bar system that lets you set custom lighting angles.
The two magnetic lighting bars positioned at the front corners of the studio are stable yet simple to set up, adding to its user-friendly appeal. And when you wrap up your photo shoot, the foldable design means you can pack down the Foldio4 to just 4 inches thick in a cinch.
The Foldio4 is currently undergoing fundraising, with its Kickstarter campaign kicking off on June 17th. The anticipated delivery date for backers is set for September 2025, with the final retail price pegged at $499. Early Kickstarter supporters can snag a Foldio4 for a criminally low price, starting at $179—but bear in mind, backing any crowd-funded campaign comes with inherent financial risk.
Personally, I've been an avid user of the original Foldio and can attest to its ease and effectiveness in producing professional-quality product shots.
