For those of you hoping, as I did, that this kit would fit into your 34" tripod bag, here are some more specs:
Stand, collapsed: 33" (yay!)
Reflector, rolled: 35" (you knew that)
Stretcher poles (4): 43"
The fabric is lightweight and coated with a metallic vinyl, and looks like it will not flake like mylar can. Unlike mylar, the surface has good dispersion (not mirror-like, no hot spots).
The stretcher poles are steel, and I wish they were aluminum or fiberglass and that they split into two for portability. Because they are steel and a bit heavy, the tripod head is off balance and adjustment is slightly harder than it should be. I wish the rig came with lighter poles or a counterbalance.
But if I got what I wished for, it would cost $30 more. For the price, this is an excellent value, and I am glad I bought it.

I like the convenience of having a reflector that is large and freestanding. One that can rotate meet whatever needs I have for it. I also like the fact that it has a carrying cast albeit cheaply made (the handle fell off the first time I picked it up). My concern is that the fabric is cheap and it was hard to unroll (it was all stuck to itself), and after I finally got it unrolled and on the frame, you could see that some of the finish had pulled off and I wonder how long before it will be unusable. I guess only time will tell.

Love the reflector. So easy to set up and it's exactly what I needed for an indoor lighting set up. Size is great and it's easy to maneuver. Would recommend to anyone.

Use as a bounce light for portraits. Nice soft light. Easier to maneuver then the collapsable type reflectors with reflector arm. I put a weight on the stand to make it more stable but other then that great product for the price.

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
Most of my shoots are remote locations and running power cords are out of the question or just not practical. I use several off camera battery strobes as my key lights and fill light. I have been looking for a way to get that perfect fill light in group shots to cast some low angel light into the eyes of my subjects. This panel does the job perfectly. I turn the panel to the horizontal position and back to about a 45 degree angel. I place it low and in front of the group. I shoot one small strobe into the reflector at an angel and it provides the perfect fill light for under eyes and chins. Also works great when turned vertical for full body shots. Tripod is sturdy enough not to need a sand bag but I use one just in case. Not good for outdoors where there is any wind.

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
I like this reflector stand as an alternative to a circular reflector on a boom arm. Fairly easy to set up - first time is always a learning curve but after that it's very quick. Don't ever take this outside unless you like to watch $$ take flight. Even if this were weighted down it is still likely to topple over with a gust of wind. The stand is a really cheap-o Interfit standard light stand - nothing fancy at all. The mechanism that attaches to the stand that holds the poles for the reflector panel is equally as cheap-o. I feel like at any moment when I tighten any part of the bracket it's going to snap off or break off in my hand.

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
Purchased a three light kit, but then realized I wanted a 'hair light'. Move the secondary light up, and is now my hair light. This reflector is now my fill, and does a great job. Would recommend this to anyone needing a reflector. Stand it comes with is a lot cheaper then an assistant! Although sturdy, I'd only recommend this for inside use, unless there's no wind.

I used this product in my studio and at indoor locations. I didn't realize how big this item was until I set it up for the first time, wasn't looking for something quite this size but for the price you really can't go wrong!

The ability to use this reflector without having to hold it is very useful. I often work by myself in the field and in the studio. This reflector covers a wide range of the subject as I need when working with my lights.

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
I've been using a collapsible reflector (40"x60") for my fill on studio shots. I used it with a reflector arm and light stand but it just wasn't easy to work with. The stand was unstable with the weight of the reflector so I finally bought one of these and it works perfectly for my needs. It's lightweight, moves easily, making repositioning a breeze, and the reflector is very efficient. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get one.

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
I am very happy with the reflector, easy to assemble. Love the size and the price. Great value. It is great for indoors. I would expect it to flip outside if there is wind, so you would need help of an assistant to hold it.

I plan to Use this for on location videography
It's Light weight, and easy to set up. It would need to travel in an oversized container since the rods are long
Bracket is Made out of cheap plastic so I don't expect it to last long. If it gets me through a 2 week's shoot it will have been worth it. The concept is good. But for the price....beggers can't be choosers.

This reflector is used in a small studio and it is a vast improvement of the plastic pipe supported one I had previously used. It is very flexible in terms of orientation and it is light in weight. Additional fabrics would be an improvement.

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
I love this product! I actually take it on location - I don't even take it all the way apart. I detach the stand from the panel & shrink down the stand. The panel bends easily to fit in the back seat of my truck - doesn't leave any extra room but that is ok. I have even used this to provide shade on extra sunny days!

Comments about Interfit Flat Panel Reflector with Bracket and Stand:
I like this reflector quite a bit. I have a VERY tight space & because of the stand's issues, I just lean it against my wall & seems to work quite well.
I'm not real thrilled with how it connects to the stand. It's not secure at all. I think I'll have it tight and about 10 minutes into it, it will shift & be wobbly again.

Light weight and portable. Easily and quickly assembled. A collapsed pair may be carried in a single small bag. Ideal for shooting those portraits not amenable to your studio such as a person's home or garden.
