Impact Telescopic Collapsible Reflector Holder

The Impact Telescopic Collapsible Reflector Holder is ideal for mounting reflectors such as Impact, Flexfill, or Photoflex light discs up to 60" to a light stand.

Alternately, it can hold a small light head to an extension of almost 3' from the center of your light stand (with the addition of a 3/8" to 5/8" adapter, not included).

Two-section support arm telescopes for use with different size reflectors.

    Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Circular Reflector with Handles (42")

    This two-handle 42" 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.

    what happened

    I'd been loving this reflector holder for a couple years until the other day where I had to take it out of my studio for a job on location and upon packing up my equipment the reflector wouldn't lock down compact as usual, one piece was falling out of the other piece, like a screw was missing. I looked for a screw on the location floor and found nothing, so I taped it together and left. When I set back up in my studio, I noticed the reflector holder was now not as long when fully extended as well as it would not stay together in one piece, so it seems like an entire section of the holder is missing. I did not see or hear anything like this fall out when I was setting up or taking down, so I was highly confused. Now this holder is essentially no good to me, unless it just holds a small reflector in the most basic position so Im going to have to buy a new one. What happened?

    Well Engineered!

    How would I use 3/8"-16 sockets on side oh handles. It says for tripod mounting but do I need some special adapter to use this?
    Asked by: Tim
    You wouldn't - you need clips to mount either to the extension bar (which comes with the kit) or a large clip to hang vertically from the top of a lightstand (that's what I use - a socket clip attached to the top of my stand).

    Can this be centered mounted instead of used as a boom?
    Asked by: David
    Yes, just loosen the clamp screw between the first and second sections, pull the second section away, and you can slide the mounting pivot and the first clamp off. Then, all you need to do is reverse them and reassemble it. It only takes a couple minutes and a Phillips screwdriver.

    question

    Can this light stand, with the proper add ons, be used with a speedlight instead of the reflector?
    Asked by: Jessi M.
    The Impact Umbrella Bracket with Adjustable Shoe, B&H # IMUB, would be recommended to connect a hot shoe speedlight flash to the Impact 42 5-in-1 Reflector with Lightstand and Holder Kit listed above.

    I’m going to fit this into a suitcase. What size do the reflectors, either the 32 or 42, fold down to?
    Asked by: John
    The 32" reflector in the Impact 32" 5-in-1 Reflector with Lightstand and Holder Kit folds to about 11", and the 42" reflector in the Impact 5-In-1 Collapsible Circular Reflector Kit (42") (BH# IM5I1CCRK) is about 14" when collapsed.
