It's easy to use and practical because of the light-weight.

I use this product to hold my 42" reflector during interviews. The rubber holders are just wide enough to fit over the lips of my reflector but work just fine. The biggest problem with this holder is attaching it to a lightstand. I use Lowel lightstands that have 5/8" tops. The smaller hole-size on the holder is too large for the 5/8" top and there is no adjustment mechanism for this problem. So, basically, my reflector just weeble wobbles on top of the light-stand. Another issue, which is not related to this particular holder, but to any holder you purchase...is that you will also need to purchase a weight counter-balance device to keep your holder from tipping over. The best part of this holder is its simplicity of use and that it is fairly compact.

In my work as a freelance photographic assistant, I have had the opportunity to use this and other reflector holders in a variety of situations, in the studio and on location. This product works reasonably well provided that you aren't outside in a situation where there is much of any wind. Any collapsible reflector is going to flex a fair amount in the wind anyway, and with this holder I have had a great amount of difficulty with reflectors coming out of the clips and with the clips rotating on the pole when you don't want them to.

It's not a bad product, but it does have some weaknesses. I have had better luck with holders that have more substantial methods of holding the reflector such as holders from Impact. Much of the weakness of all of these designs, though, comes back to the flexibility of collapsible reflectors, and that's a separate issue altogether.

I'm tempted to give it 3 stars because there are better options, but I'm giving it 4 because those more secure options can also be far less convenient, and this product will work well for many users.

I had a Manfrotto reflector holder but it was not happy with it. This one holds the reflector securely, is compact enough to be carried in a light case, and is well designed because the parts that hold the reflector (made out of soft plastic) won't break.

Fits the 48" with room to spare, very lightweight, and is a must have if you are a one-man-band.
