I previously had a white light reflector that my mother gave me. It's about 36 inches, but folds up into a relatively tiny 5 inch bag, which was great, but it is difficult to fold up. I didn't think think these would be so large when folded (approx 15 inches), but the quality is so much better that I'm still very happy!

This set is basically one ring with a standard white reflector built in. The ring unfolds super easy and has two nice, sturdy handles on opposite sides. I really like the handle design as it's very comfortable to hold on to. If you want a different color, there is a reversable sleeve that slides over the white disc. The sleeve has two holes that you can position over the handles and is held in place by a zipper that goes pretty much all the way around the sleeve. The sleeve has the black, silver, gold, and pearl white colors, and if you're going to switch between colors, be prepared for a minute of work to get it positioned correctly.

Once you have the sleeve on the ring (if you don't want simple white), this is super easy to use. You simply hold it near your subject, off camera of course, and enjoy having full control of the light.

When you're done, the ring folds up very easily. You simply twist the two handles in opposite direction and push them towards each other, which causes the ring to fold up. This ring folds so much easier than my old one! The carrying bag this comes with is simple, but nice. It easily fits the ring and folded sleeve inside of it.

If you're in need of a light reflector for photos or videos, this is an excellent choice!

It's 5 in 1...if you count black as a reflector...let's call it 4 in 1...with some shade (it's still useful).

I like the design of it, once you get the hang of scrunch folding the reflectors to put away after usage. The vinyl containment bag is strong enough and the zipper appears up to the task for a long time.

I ordered the 32" as opposed to the much larger 43"...only because I don't push enough light to warrant the big boy size. I also use these outdoors, and the larger one is a bit more problematic with breezes and such. 32" just works for me.

It's a well designed simple device that can really change your images. In this post processing world, almost everything can be replicated...but these are still better than post processing afterwards.

The rule for my photography has been...if I can add to my image with hardware as opposed to post processing afterwards with software...I will use hardware and nip it in the bud.

For the price...it's a very good order. K&F Concept is a capable company making accessories for photography and videography...this is no exception.

Great piece of kit...big thumbs up!!

I really like this 5 in 1. The handles are large and grippy. The materials seem smooth and reflective. The only issue I had was the zipper getting caught on the fabric. Seems like a weak point that could wear out either the fabric that holds the metal wire or the zipper. Still a great tool for the kit. The handles make it easier to clamp into place when you can't hold it.

Tip: I didn't like how it felt to fold it up with sleeve on so I folded it up separately. Not a deal breaker just felt more manageable.

So at its core, you have a pop up scrim. Then to convert it you have a reversible, double sided slip cover, white for neutral diffuse fill, black for subtractive work, silver to kick in specular fill, and gold for effect like recreating a sunny color.

The material is rather thin, but this thing is ridiculously cheap, so I can't knock them on that too much, especially given the addition of handles that are pretty clever and will definitely aid an assistant when the wind kicks up.

As I really only plan to use the white, I wanted to see if it would fold and store with the sleeve installed, and it does, so I'm happy.

So first off, when I ordered this I wasn't really thinking about just how large 43 inches really is. Wow this thing is big when it's unfolded. That might or might not make it a little cumbersome to use, time will tell I guess. If you're going to order, consider your size needs carefully (I stupidly just went with "bigger is better" without thinking about "too much of a good thing").

Maybe it was because of the size, but once I unfolded this I had a great deal of difficulty trying to re-fold it. The included instructions make it sound simple, but it's not. After fighting with it for several minutes I finally got it folded back down. At least once it is folded, it is pretty small and won't take up a lot of space.

The zip-on reflectors are an interesting idea. I do wonder how well they will hold up over time, though. Not that it'll probably matter for most uses, but they're very wrinkly and creased from the folding.

Beyond that, it is... definitely reflective, no doubt about that. As another reviewer noted, it's downright shiny, so it may end up being a little too harsh. I'm a little more optimistic that it will still be useful than that other reviewer is, but again, time will tell.

Overall, it's not a bad reflector by any means, even if it does have some issues. It's worth considering.

This reflector is typical of most in this price range and about what I expected. The quality is maybe slightly better than a few others I've seen. I do like the two opposing handles on this version as it makes using it in a handheld situation much easier. It does not have a hanging loop like some other have, but you can still use a reflector clamp in a light stand to hold it, which is better anyway. The zippers move freely and the sizing of the reflector cover over the framed diffuser panel is snug but not too difficult to remove or get back on. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this one.

I LOVE taking sunset and sunrise landscapes, but when I try to take photos of items or people in front of the sunset or sunrise, the background kills the lighting of the subject... These allow me to use the available sunlight to reflect back on the subject to light it up at the same color temperature of the sun... Invaluable for taking natural light images and/or videos... Highly suggest

This reflector has two opposing handles on the spring steel circumference, which is useful. That sets it apart from others by allowing one-handed operation when there's no wind. Easier to collapse, too.

Otherwise, it's a pretty standard reflector. Made of diffusion material for scrims and shoot-through flashes, and comes with a reversible sleeve with negative fill and silver on one side, and white and gold on the inside. This sleeve is a lightweight material, so you will have to be careful not to mistreat it.

If you have any issues with the sides being "too shiny" you should crinkle it up to diffuse any hot spots, and change the distance from the subject -- usually by getting closer to make the source larger, if the light allows that. You can also bow it to a convex shape, but that requires two hands. If you are having issues with a reflector being too shiny, it's because you're using it wrong with one exception: the black side should not be shiny at all, and it is.

Comes with a round case to transport.
