Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Buy the Turntable on Its Own?
Yes — the GemLightbox Turntable is available as a standalone accessory. However, it is only compatible with the GemLightbox and will not work with any other device.
How Do I Clean My Turntable and Eclipse?
Dust and oil can build up on the Turntable's circular plate over time. To clean it:
Dampen a soft cloth with cool water.
Gently wipe the circular plate to remove dust and oil.
Do not scrub vigorously — this can damage the film finish.
Can I Use the Necklace and Earring Stand on the Turntable?
No. The necklace and earring stand is not designed to be placed on top of the Turntable.
For earring and necklace photography, use the GemLightbox Aerial instead.
