The Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector Disc is versatile in the field and in the studio, providing shadow-lightening detail in your subject, using available, or studio lighting. It starts out as a translucent white disc -- perfect for softening direct sun, or lights without diffusion. Use the removable, reversible zippered slipcover to reflect light into shadow areas of your subject. Your choice of color -- silver, gold, white, silver/gold mix -- will be determined by the lighting conditions, and your personal preference.
This 42" disc is suitable for 3/4 length portraits, and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 of its open size, and comes with a storage sleeve. We suggest the purchase of a pivoting arm and stand, to hold the disc where needed -- especially if you are working without an assistant.

Use of this 42” Reflector hand held or combined with a reflector holder on a stand is a must for better lighting control in outdoor or studio photography. The four reflective surfaces and diffuser frame are versatile enough for any lighting condition you will encounter. Folding to ¼ its size and packed in its own carrying case I can take it on location attached to my backpack with my 32” reflector kit in the laptop pocket or fold and store on a shelf using minimal space until needed. I highly recommend the 5 in 1 system and intend to add the 22” because you can never have to much light control.

A bit hard to control, especially if outdoors in the wind. The reflectors have to be unzipped every time in order to collapse the disc, which is a little frustrating. They can only be left on if the disc is not collapsed. Other than that, it's a pretty good product.

It's easy to use and store.
I like the zebra golden/silver side on it.
The only "bad thing" about this reflector is that you have to fold the diffusor and fold the reflector materials separately to get it in the pouch.

Love the portability of the reflector, but folding it up to get it back in the case will leave you baffled and frustrated. It helps to be an engineer - or a contortionist. The instructions provided for collapsing it are useless.

This product was exactly what I needed. I use these to direct light when I am doing outdoor shoots. They are the perfect size for portraits and I especially love the warmth of the gold side. I have done some of my best work using these. The only difficult part is folding it up, but it's not really a bad thing- kind of fun trying to figure it out :)

Using the 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector with undergraduate Cinema Students for class project and indie films. Meant to be a convenient way to provide shape to light and minimize gear on a zero-budget shoot.
Unfortunately the zipper on the reverseable reflector cover is very temperamental -- and almost impossible to close. It took me several frustrating minutes to get it zipped all the way around -- something 19-22 year olds will be less that patient with. Hoping they last for more than the first outing.

Really good quality and perform very well. They really have improved my photographs of people that would normally have shadows across their faces or just need an artistic touch. They fold down small and travel very easily.

I wasnt sure what to get since it was my first time buying one. I love it, its big, easy to fold up, love the carry case for it, love that it has four side you can change from. The only reason why I only gave it a four was because its kind of hard to zip up when changing your colors. But nothing is prefect either. Would/ did recommend it to friends.

I bought this to work with my Impact lights, to bounce more light and soften harsh shadows. They seem sturdy, durable, and once you figure out how to fold them back up, it is easy to use. I like that the disc is a diffuser, with reflectors that get put on, this makes for less stuff to haul around or store.

Have used this on several video shoots already -- great control. Used it to bounce sun 50 ft into a restaurant which beats having to hump around a bunch of light banks any day. You can get some great noire effects, too. Can't beat it for the money.

You can reflect light in 4 different temperatures, besides softening the light on your subject. If your production consists of a very reduced crew, this is simply perfect and the price is good too. The only con would be if the day is very windy, that will make things difficult. However, even in windy days I could manage to hold it in a way that would keep an even light on my reporter's face.

This reflector is great, big enough for the price and has quite a few different uses. I even use it to diffuse my strobes in a pinch every once in a while.
The zippers seem a little weak but they haven't broken yet!

This reflector works really well, and for the price, I can't find any fault. The large size of the disc makes this very versatile and the compact size after folding makes it very portable.
The diffuser (translucent) disc has a soft fabric around the edge (neoprene maybe) and a wide edge which makes holding it easy.
I found it difficult to collapse the disc with the reflectors zipped on, so folding it up separately works easiest for me.
