Default Product Photography : Light Tent, Light Table, or HomeBrew

Ive been wanting a product photography setup for a while now.

Ive seen a lot of light tents, but dont know if this is what the pros use, or if this will yeild the most profesional results.

My options are Light Tent,

Light Table Made from either PlexyGlass or "FlexiGlass" as seen here
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=251581

Or a bedsheet or white construction paper, but again, I want to yeild some very profesional looking shots, so I dont know is this is the way to go.

The light tables and flexi glass seems they flash from the front and back to make the background glow and becomes highkey seamless white.


I have no problem making something, assuming I can make it work.

Any help please?

I plan on using my AB lighting along with brolls or softboxes. The above link to the FlexiGlass seems to be what im looking for. But I have no idea how thick or what type of white to buy. I see various different types of white plexy out there.
