I bought this for an outdoor video shoot. It worked great as a diffuser when we were filming actors standing in bright sunlight. It's a good size (very large) so make sure you have some c-stands and sandbags if it's windy.

The 5-in-1 option is also great. White, silver, black...what more do you need?

Purchased this full body reflector after finding large circular reflectors too small for some of the full length body shots I've been taking of high school seniors outdoors. Worked great, especially with some diffusion of sunlight. Full bore in direct sun, it was actually a bit too bright when using the metalic sides, requiring a greater working distance or a change in plan in terms of color of reflected light. Overall, very pleased!

Using to reflect light when necessary and mostly for blocking the direct light that sneaks into the occasional shot for better balance. Great size for adults and graduation shots.

Stores flat easily once you read the directions how to restore to collapsed size. Nice zipper case to keep clean during storage.

The reflectors are HUGE! I have no problem getting all the light I need. They fold up very easily if you read the little instruction insert that comes with it. It takes 15 seconds to read and it will save you the hassel of trying to figure out how to fold these up. READ the easy and quick instructions and you'll have no problem.

The main reason I bought this reflector was for its size. I needed something to light up a full body, and this does the job. I actually just used it on the beach and lit up a family of 5 for some portrait shots. Also used it as a diffuser in direct sunlight and got great results. The silver side is very hard and bright in direct sun, so you may have to have some distance between the reflector and subject, but it's nice to have that in low light situations.

Also, some people have complained about folding it, and I had the same problem when I opened it up for the first time. But- after watching a youtube video on "how to fold a large reflector" it's actually a piece of cake.

This five in one reflector is great! easy to use and fold up, just look at the little book inside and it tells just how to fold it. I give four stars.

Takes a little work to pack. Nice size.

I use this to direct some ambient light to the models.

I like how big it is and you can get all the light you want on the model.

Things that aren't so great is that when you first get it open, it is hard to fold back into a circle when your done. I was lucky to have experienced photographers on site to help me figure it out. One photographer showed me how to do it on my own, just in case I had no one around to help me and so i don't look like an idiot trying to get it folded. I think a small instruction should accompany this item. Other than that, it does the job and other photographers loved it so much, they are thinking about ordering it.

I have used this product, and have found it to very useful. It really does help to have another person hold it while shooting, or it can be time consuming to get the reflector to stay where you want it--especially outdoors. I do not know if I will ever use all 5 options, but considering the price of a single use reflector...this is a great buy!
The only problem for is getting it to fold up, but that will come with practice. B&H has a great video (in slow motion) showing how to fold various types of reflectors.

LIGHT, PORTABLE, COLLAPSIBLE, WORKS.

Durable, huge, flexible, excellent value. Loop from the scrim does not poke out of the outer cover, and the outer cover itself has no attached loops.

I use this product to bounce and diffuse light. It works great for that, and can be useful as a shoot through if you need a larger light source but don't have a nice big umbrella or light box on hand. Only complain is the same with all these fold up items; they can be tricky to fold back up. You gotta just kinda crush it on end and see which way it most easily "wants" to fold.

Easy to tote and has the flexibility to work in many lighting situations.

Works fine for me, I liked it even more after I figured out how to get it back into it's collapsed shape. What worked for me was bending it in half and then pulling the ends in opposite directions sideways.

Silver & Gold shine with great fill. The 5 in 1 is the best for light control and the best value for your money.

Great reflector kit...

How many times do i have to learn that you get what you pay for. Just had this product for a week. The zippers are set so that they run the same direction. The reflectors are bent enough that it is hard to get consistent light falling on a full length photo shot. Unfortunately i would just lose more money sending it back so I will keep it.
