I want to buy a small light tent (UK) for macro photos particularly this type

Any ideas? It must be collapsible.

I used a pop up white linen laundry bag. Think I bought it off eBay...

How small does it need to be? The last time I bought film from 7dayshop they suggested a light tent in the related items. For £14.99 I bought one and it's a nice bit of kit. Comes with 4 different coloured backgrounds that fit inside and it pops up to about 2 foot cubed (if I remember correctly without looking).

Not a bad idea but a bit big for Macro. I might get this
