Interfit Flexi-Lite 5-in-1 Panel-Boom Stand Kit

Overall this kit provides pretty good value for the money. The C-Stand is fairly solid although when my unit arrived, some of the bolts that held the legs to the stand were loose in the box.

The reflector panel is huge and will make a great scrim, diffuser, and reflector in the studio. Haven't worked with it outdoors but would imagine it would be difficult to handle on a really windy day.

I use this thing mainly as a big diffuser to cut the daylight inside and out. Sometimes I will shine a light through it for a big soft box effect. I suppose it would also work nicely a big bounce.

Everything seems to be quality construction, especially the C stand. The big panel folds rather small, considering it is so easy to set-up/breakdown. It's an all around great tool.

I was looking at just getting another C-stand but this is well worth the extra $$. The reflector frame is big! We started calling it "the caterpillar" because its not quite like a butterfly (as it relates to grip terms) and its so easily transformable for transporting.
The c-stand is nice, spring loaded risers are good for saving on fingers.
There's alot of velcro on the reflector to get through when changing flags but once you get your method down it goes fast.

So far, we've used the actual clamp very little. (Have just been having people hand-hold the caterpillar) BUT I will mention that if you're planning on using it on the stand alot, a few sand bags would be a very very good idea.

Over-all its very nice for a quick cheap portable system. You have to be fairly gentle with the reflector, not with the c-stand.

On our first shoot with it we used it as a diffuser, a reflector and big flag to block light from a door. Highly valuable weapon for any grip arsenal.

Great value for the C-Stand and reflectors.We use it for film shooting outside and indoors.

I'm really pleased with the overall quality of this package. However, the bag for the foldable panel ripped at the seam the first time I tried to put it away. Interfit wants me to send it in before they are willing to replace it. I guess that's normal, but I was hoping they would just send me out a new one.

The kit comes with three fabric panels and just one panel frame. However, it's too much work to change the fabric panels. Instead, I am building some PVC tube frames myself to make all three panels usable at the same time.

Only used this once so far and it worked just as I needed. Well be a great tool, glad I purchased it.

very good! better than thought. the bundle Century C stand is better than my Avenger C stand.

The cons is that the fabric panel is taking time to attach and detach.

I'm a professional photographer and I have been looking for a flexible reflector kit for quite some time. I purchased the 5-in-1 a few weeks ago and have used it on-location 4 times (primarily inside) already. The panel is very large and light weight. It sets up quickly and easily, but you will need a good deal of space to use it with the boom arm. When I used it outside I had an assistant hold the panel. I would like to use it to diffuse overhead sun when doing outdoor shoots and I am curious to see how well the one C-Stand and boom arm will hold the panel when the wind is blowing. I am contemplating purchasing a second C-Stand to ensure that it will be secure when raised overhead outdoors. The frame folds up relatively easily and fits neatly in the nice carrying bag that came with it. It would have been nice if the carrying bag was a little larger so that the other two panels not being used could fit into it as well. Also, once the panel is collapsed it is still very long and may not fit into smaller trunks. The base of the C-Stand comes off so I have no trouble sliding it into my trunk. I plan to use the kit in my studio most of the time where I am sure it will serve me well. In all, I am really glad I purchased it and I would certainly recommend it to others.

Overall this is a great kit. The frame is of good quality and after getting the hang of folding it, it's setup is very fast.When I got mine, the silver reflector was really stuck together.[...] Nothing major, but if I'm buying it brand new I expect it to look brand new without any issues. The other covers are fine. I will probably call interfit for a replacement silver sheet.The c-stand could be a little higher quality I think. It's not a matthews - this one is made in china - and has detachable legs. The center post at the bottom where the large stud is anchored into the tubular steel is a tiny bit loose which bothers me. I expect c-stands to be rock solid like 80% of the ones I use on set. A c-stand should be able to withstand being running over by a truck.The stand is not cheap however and works just fine. I'm used to top quality stands I think so this one seems sub-par to me. The legs are also spring type.

Excellent overall quality. I was expecting a bit cheaper quality, boy was I wrong.

I was pleasantly surprised of the reflector frame quality. Light aluminum tubing and very sturdy. Well worth the purchase and the c-stand is also great. Best investment I've made considering that I wasn't too sure about this kit when I placed my order.
