Lightbridge DoPchoice SnapBridge SLIM Reflector (5')

Still too expensive!

I love the concept. I've been using bounce lighting using reflectors for years. I bought the lightbridge metal reflectors some time ago but didn't really use it because it was too harsh (the size of the reflector was too small to be soft 20x20in). This system solved my problem! Now you can fine tune the ratio between the soft bounce to the hard, directional bounce. The quality is great. Sturdy materials but not heavy, nice hardware and design (how it flips to white to black without taking the thing off the stand is very smart). The included extension is necessary. Some gripes. Even using the extension that came with the system, you will not be able to get the proper downward angle if your light source is on the stand where this reflector is. it needs to angle down more to do that. So that means using head and arm extension, which means you need a sturdy stand and maybe even a counter weight. Most of my work is on location so I try my best to avoid carrying around too much weight. This set up is not as minimal as it may look. But in all honesty, its physics and there are really no other way getting around it. No free lunch here. The reason why it only gets 4 stars is the cost. It should be around $400. But I justified it since I can use this for my stills and video work. In 6 months, Godox will probably make one at half price...
