The Westcott 40.5" 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector 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, black mix -- will be determined by the lighting conditions, and your personal preference.

This 40.5" (1 m) disc is suitable for 3/4 length portraits, and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 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. To order this disc with a stand and an arm: Click here.

Silver increases the specular highlights and yields a high-contrast image. It's perfect for video, product shots and B&W photography.
Gold produces a natural, golden fill that is great for sunsets, jewelry, and indoor portraits.
White produces an even, neutral-colored bounce light that works beautifully as a fill light source for both product shots and indoor/outdoor portraits.
The black side diminishes unwanted reflections or color casts.
Translucent fabric is used to diffuse light, producing a broad light source and a soft, wraparound effect that's perfect for outdoor portraits or whenever a softer light is needed.
Shape Round
Size Open 40.5" (1 m)
Size Collapsed 1/3 open size
Surfaces Translucent, white, silver, gold, black
Weight 2 lbs (0.9 kg)

The Westcott reflector does everything it’s designed to do. I use it mainly in the field as its large enough to actually block the sun when needed. Smaller reflectors simply can’t perform this aspect as well as larger reflectors. If you are used to smaller reflectors you will be amazed at how much more light this will produce so there may be a short learning curve. When not in use, folded and placed in the bag / pouch it takes up very little space.

The zipper works well on mine though I read reviews from a couple of reviewers prior to deciding to purchase who stated that they experienced zipper issues with theirs. My only though after actually using mine is that the shell is reversible and as such the tab on the zipper works from both sides of the zipper head, traveling on the bracket or bar from side to side. Possibly the zipper tab had slid to the inside? In any case, zippers can at times be or become defective after repeated use but mine works fine. Just be sure that when you fold the reflector up to put in the bag / pouch that the fabric is positioned toward the inside of the reflector so it doesn’t get caught in the zipper as that will cause problems.

The only negative on using a reflector of this size on location is wind. Don’t forget to take your smaller reflectors along if it’s a windy day as you may get tired of fighting with it.

Great except for zipper

Good size for working outdoors - big enough to get soft light, but not so big that you'll fly away on a windy day. Many kits don't include black, and I'm glad this one...Read complete review

Good size for working outdoors - big enough to get soft light, but not so big that you'll fly away on a windy day. Many kits don't include black, and I'm glad this one does because there are times where a gobo is necessary and it's one less item I need to bring along. The down side, though, is the zipper for the reflector panels. I treat things very delicately, and after only three color changes, the zipper got stuck, and then actually broke. So, get a few little clips as well for when the zipper breaks.

      I am a hobby photographer (with the hope of starting a business one day), so I didn't want to throw too much $ at a reflector. This one has been great so far! The only down side is, I don't think I'll use the gold surface very often. So far my favorites have been the silver and diffusing sides. It is a good size too, I wouldn't have wanted to go any smaller. I definitely like the fact that it folds up small.

          Reflector is great for photo and video applications to help light your subject. Reflector fits snuggly within the case and seems to be of high quality (silver / gold surfaces won't flake off). Seems to be a little pricier than the no-name brands...

            Comments about Westcott 5-in-1 Reflector Disc - 40.5" (1 m):

            Mostly excellent because is does what it claims to do very well. It collapses easily and stores in its bag easily. It does an excellent job, well, reflecting light. It's also a great defuser. It's a very nice portable reflect/defuser. he only issue I have is when changing the color of the reflector. It unzips easily and can then be turned inside out to change the colors. Slide the strap through the opening in the cover and then start piping it back up. Here is where the problem lies, the zipper gets stuck occasionally while zipping it up again making it hard to change quickly. Despite this issue, I still recommend this product.

                              The 5-in-1 reflector disk is a great thing to have as a photographer. For [$] it is very versatile. I use it mainly for diffusing light, but it can also be used to remove or add light (Warm, shiny, or natural). I think every photographer should have one. It's relativley cheap and will come in handy in tons of situations where you need more control of your light. [...]

                                    I looked at all the reflectors on B&H 's site, and this seemed to be the best value. Westcott leads the industry, and this product was no disappointment. The gold is a beautiful tint in pictures, reflects light well...The other colors are perfect. I had a hard time at first folding them up in the round zipped bag, but a few tries, and I got it! The zipper is of good quality and I am very happy with the product, I recommend!

                                    I own two of these 5-in-1 reflectors/diffusers. The diffuser itself isn't very useful outdoors, but indoors on a stand or held by an assistant it is great for diffusing light and is more convenient than an umbrella in tight spaces. Using the included covers, you can create beautiful, even lighting using only available light sources!
                                    The price can't be beat. I don't see the point of paying twice as much for rectangular products, these attach fairly easily and securely to boom arms.
                                    I suggest that you keep this unfolded as much as possible, especially if you use it in a studio, the first unit I bought casts some funky colors on the gold because I folded and unfolded it many times (it's over a year old). If I had been more careful I believe it would still be fine today.

                                      Use the product for outdoor photography. It Is excellent for lighting subjects with a lot of backlight, and it becomes very compact for storage. Doesn't work too well in overcast conditions.

                                              This is the perfect tool to modify ambient light or add a little bounce to your flash. I love the fact that I have so many option in one compact piece of gear.

                                              It is a sail though if you don't have an assistant and are using it outdoors. I have not had any issues with it so far.

                                                This is a great tool to have. It is extremely versatile. I use it for indoor studio lit portratis as well as natural light portraits outdoors. It is easy to fold up and I love the handy carrying bag. This is a great product.

                                                  It does what it says. The zipper is a bit annoying, but who cares the price is right and other than that the quality of the reflector is great.
