Lastolite 48" TriGrip Difflector

Comments about Lastolite 48" TriGrip Difflector:

I like the size, and that it can be used as a reflector or to shade the subject. It is NOT very rigid so any wind makes it impossible to hold with one hand and hard even with two as the frame isn't very rigid. Folding it seems more like luck when I figure it out then actually knowing how to fold it. Great concept, I use it, but not as good as it could be.

The reflector is just right. It adds light but no color. It's a nice soft light to enhance my subjects. Perfect combination of useful products!

This a relatively new product from Lastolite, but seeing Mark Cleghorn's few videos , regarding this product, convinced me enough to purchase it.I love products that can be used in more than just a one way, therefore reducing a caring more products into the field.It is BIG, but if you work alone and need to bounce or diffuse a significant amount of light falling on laying down subject, you can just lean one against your body or tree or something else to achieve great results.It is not really convenient to hold the diflector in one hand while taking picture in the other, for that one would have to opt for a smaller 30 inch diflector.To be honest with you, I got scared for a while , before making a purchase , just because some reviews, stating that it is very difficult to fold this product back to the original shape and store it away. some people where saying , that everybody , who tries to purchase diflactor this large should REALLY think things trough, before opening...Well i decided to give it a try and buy it anyway,i figured , how hard could it be?Don,t be scared , it is NOT a Pandora's BOX!!!In fact , it took me less time to fold it , than smaller 30 " deflector.Well actually the same amount of time...about 3 seconds each...I don't want to be rough on the reviewers, but every time i read something ,that is NOT true, when simple things, become an almost impossible tasks for some , i loose faith in humanity...Don,t be afraid, buy it , you won,t regret it .One thing though, if you wont to use it outside on even calm day, on the support stand...bring a lot of sand bags..

The light is very soft and subtle. I really like that when shooting on a digital sensor but it would prob not be ideal for film. This new hybrid pattern puts out less light then any tradition (gold,silver,sunfire..) reflectors so if you're not planning on using it as a diffuser much and just want a do all reflector you'll want to keep that in mind. That said, I love these Trigrips and this one makes a great addition to my kit.
