Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Circular Reflector with Handles (22")
Key Features
  • Two Handles (Hand Grips)
  • Two Threaded 3/8" Sockets
  • Collapses to Approx. 1/3 Its Open Size
  • Includes Carry/Storage Case
This two-handle 22" 5-1 Circular Collapsible Reflector with Handles from Impact adds a polished-looking quality of light to your photos or videos. The reflector is built around a translucent disc which doesn't reflect as much as the solid white surface, but does exhibit soft neutral reflection. Its primary purpose, however, is as a diffuser that will tame contrast by being held over a subject's head in the harsh noon-day sun. The disc can also be used in situations where you'd use a softbox. Using a disc holder or one of the 3/8" sockets, place your flash or constant light behind the suspended disc for soft, flattering light with open shadows.

Impact Collapsible Reflector With Handles Overview

This two-handle 22" 5-1 Circular Collapsible Reflector with Handles from Impact adds a polished-looking quality of light to your photos or videos. The reflector is built around a translucent disc which doesn't reflect as much as the solid white surface, but does exhibit soft neutral reflection. Its primary purpose, however, is as a diffuser that will tame contrast by being held over a subject's head in the harsh noon-day sun. The disc can also be used in situations where you'd use a softbox. Using a disc holder or one of the 3/8" sockets, place your flash or constant light behind the suspended disc for soft, flattering light with open shadows.

The 5-in-1 reflector has handy convenience features that make it easy to use and deliver impressive results, while saving space by folding down to approximately one third of its open size. Impact's smart design provides ergonomic handgrips that allow you to hold the disc in a flat or U-shaped position, or in any way that gets the job done. Each of the grips has additional 3/8"-16 threaded sockets for attachment to accessories or grip equipment. The 5-in-1 Reflector comes with a carry/storage case.

The surfaces are available as removable, reversible sleeves that slip over the disc. Silver offers very high reflective qualities that render a snappy high-contrast look with a cool color bias. Just the opposite, the Gold surface reflects a very warm quality; similar to late afternoon or sunset light. The Black fabric subtracts light from the subject, and can be used to block out unwanted light or to greatly reduce reflections on shiny or reflective surfaces. Finally, the flat White surface provides neutral reflectance with a soft quality of light.

Impact Collapsible Reflector With Handles Reviews

Excellent Reflector

Just used the reflector for an outdoor portrait session. The white side was great for close-ups, and the silver for bouncing light from a distance. Easy to unfold and pack up.

Works great!

It is really good quality considering the price. I wasn't expecting it to be this well-made. When I do studio headshots I use this to quickly go outside for a few outdoor location shots just out front of the studio.

I've been carrying folder foamcore boards around for reflectors and gobos, though I knew about this kind of system long ago. I recently purchased this set, which meets my needs adequately, is far more compact in storage though in use it approximates the surface area I was using (I am primarily a portrait photographer) , and includes the diffusion panel. I chose this for the handles (which are pleasingly solid and well-finished) and the 3/8ths-threaded sockets on each for holding and positioning with a stand -- good for me as I often work solo, usually in natural light. The spring metal frame feels robust but is also easy to collapse. The few points I would take off from a perfect score derive from the shiny fabric used for the black side. I recognize the need for compactness, durability, etc., and I'm sure other makes of this general design use the same. However, shiny black fabric necessarily reflects a fair amount of light, despite the color, while the purpose of using black is to subtract reflected light. This disc does reduce it; I just wish a matte surface of some kind could have been found. Maybe it will in the future.

this item surprised me, it's well built and i love the big handles on both sides. they have a 3/8 screw hole for mounting on a holder or tripod. easy to stow away in it's little pouch. can't beat it for the price.

Nice!

This translucent circular reflector works exactly as I expected for my macro flower shots to help soften harsh light. It is easy to handle, and easy to collapse back into the case. It is relatively thick material so provides quite a bit of shade, but works well.
