This Impact Five-in-One Collapsible Reflector Kit eliminates the need for multiple reflectors, silks and solids. The reflector features a removable, reversible cover which allows for five uniquely functional surfaces in three separate configurations: Silver, for crisp, cool fill, Soft-Gold for warmer fill, Black for eliminating unwanted reflections, and Solid White for softer fill. Remove the cover completely and reveal a single translucent panel for soft, diffused lighting effects
Suggested use: Ideal for a full length 1-2 adult portrait vertically, 3-4 person portrait horizontally.

This is a good reflector. I use it to shade my subjects from harsh sun and to reflect directional lighting. I find the gold side to give a really nice glow. 5-in-1 is great if you can only afford 1 reflector and its large enough for anything. Its a little heavy and in a good wind its hard to keep flat but what do you want?? this thing is huge!I have had no problems with the zippers or fitting the skins over it. They fit snug but dont disstort the frame. The bag is cheap compared to the quality of the reflector and the carry handle is no more than a loop of material. There are no instructions so if you have never used a foldable reflector your in for some fun.

Verry huge reflector and for the price you can have better. But mine doesn't stay flat probably because of the way it was build. And with wind it should harder to take it flat for light reflextion. Also my zipper pin of the reflector are both in the same direction, not really handy. It does the job but [...] I'm still happy because this thing will always be practice in studio as gobo or with white reflector but for serious outdoor shooting I'll think about california sunbounce tool.

Comments about Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Oval Reflector - 42x72" (1x1.8 m):
I use this to bounce light onto my subjects face, puts shine in the eyes or of course to diffuse light from a side, or to reflect light on a background. The large size is great. You can light up a whole body.
It folds round easy, and with 5 different reflector choices, its a great value. I love it!
If it could fold into something smaller would be my only upgrade suggestion.

I use this for location portraiture. I love the versatility of the diffuser, shade and reflector types. What I don't love is the fact that there is not an option for a gold silver combo. I find that often the gold is too warm and the silver is too cool. Something of a mixture would be amazing!

A lot of options with this reflector, and, for size, a nice price point. Is a little bulky/inconvenient to travel around with though - but that's a consequence of the size.

I like the 5-in-1 design, with the different reflector colors being part of a sleeve that zips over the diffuser frame, but it does get a little hard to mount in a bracket when that sleeve is covering the edges of the frame (already a bit awkward for a 6-foot diffuser/reflector). Perhaps there are better mounting brackets out there, possibly worth paying attention to.

This is a huge and impressive reflector in size and it even collapses small enough to fit in a backpack. You really need to learn the trick in how to easily collapse it though. The staff at B&H spent a good 10-15 minutes with me as we practiced how to do it together.

I give it a 4 due to the price and the lightweight fabric of the case. I am petite and this is very large so it takes some work to get the fabrics changed out and to get a grip on both ends to fold it back up but I expected this with such a large item.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. In particular happy that they included black as one of the options as many reflectors don't.
For sheer entertainment value watch your assistant try to fold it back up before you show them how (and yeah you might want to practice that a bit in private first) Once you know the technique it's actually quite simple

I was debating on getting a smaller reflector but decided to go with this one. It is very large but collapses into a manageable size to carry along with you to shoots. Because if the size, you will probably need an assistant or something to hold it up otherwise you will need to prop it up against something.

This reflector seems to be built well and is large enough for any job that I need it for. I used it this weekend on a Senior shoot and it helped me produce some great images. The Silver and White sides are back to back which is great because I use those two the most. The reflector is constructed well and it is relatively easy to fold back up.

Comments about Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Oval Reflector - 42x72" (1x1.8 m):
I love this reflector. I hate being limited by small reflectors so I new I wanted something big and this one does the job. I can use it for small groups and single people. It allows for great light coverage. Once you get used to folding it, it is very convenient to take on shoots. I almost always have an assistant to hold it though, so if you don't take a second person you may get into some trouble because it catches the wind like crazy so trying to hold it yourself or prop it somewhere can get interesting.

Boom! This thing will throw some serious light. I needed a larger one for shooting more than one person, like groups of 3 or 4. Your assistant may have to feather the reflector away slightly if the fill is too strong, or back up, maybe to the next county! Kidding aside, this thing is great. I had to watch a few YouTube videos before I could fold it back up. The behind the back method works for me. The metal band that makes up the frame may be a little uncomfortable to hang on to for the assistant, but hey, it builds character. I needed a big reflector, and this delivers... and for a great price
