Angler EasyOpen CatchLight Overview

The EasyOpen Catchlight from Angler offers a unique U-shaped reflector that opens quickly and distributes smooth light onto your subject. There's no need to build a frame, just open and lock the two sides of the reflector. Place the reflector near the subject's face for soft beauty lighting with the silver, gold, or white reflective layers, and create rounded catchlights in your talent's eyes. Mount the reflector to any baby pin attachment and angle it under the model's chin for the ideal intensity and direction of light reflection. When the photo session's over, press two buttons to collapse the whole reflector and place it in the included drawstring carry bag.

One-Piece Design
The Easy Open Catchlight sets up with only three steps without trying to assemble rods into other rods and stretching fabric over them. Everything is built into the frame of the reflector so you can quickly mount it onto a light stand and pull down on two sides to complete the setup.
U-Shaped Catchlights
A catchlight produces a specular highlight in a subject's eye. This U-shaped reflector offers a contoured fill light around the face and under the jawline to remove shadows. Get in closer to the talent's face and produce round highlights in the eyes, instead of flat, for a high-end and glamorous look.
Three Reflective Surfaces
Use silver, gold, or white reflective surfaces to adapt to your subject's complexion and to set the mood for the shoot. Silver is the standard surface for the catchlight reflector and you can quickly attach the reversible gold/white insert to the reflector's touch-connect strips around the edges.
Push-Button Closure
Press two buttons at the base of the reflector, and it instantly collapses with no pulling apart a tubed frame or folding the fabric and making sure you have all the parts when it's time to clean up. Place the collapsed reflector inside the drawstring carry bag and take it to the next location, or keep it in the bag for storage.

Angler EasyOpen CatchLight Reviews

SUPER lightweight and LARGE!

The Angler EasyOpen Catchlight is the lightest and fastest reflector I have used so far. It is almost paper thin, which makes it incredibly easy to transport AND SETUP, yet it still reflects light evenly and naturally, exactly how you would expect a quality reflector to perform. I primarily use the silver surface, but this reflector includes silver, gold, and white options, giving you great flexibility depending on the lighting situation. I especially appreciate the gold finish because Angler took a more thoughtful approach with the color. I have used other gold reflectors that produce an overly strong yellow tone, which can be too aggressive and unnatural for many situations. This gold surface in this kit provides a much more subtle warmth, giving you just the right amount of golden color without overpowering the subject. The setup process is incredibly fast. Opening it takes only a few seconds, and collapsing it is just as easy because you do not need to remove or disassemble anything. Simply lock one end first, grab the other end, and click it closed. Done. I have owned similar style reflectors before, but I eventually sold them because they were heavier, more cumbersome, and took much longer to set up. So much that I decided to use a flash with a small softbox under, in place of a reflector. Now I’m back to using a reflector thanks to THIS model. The EasyOpen design solves that problem and makes it much more practical for everyday use. I chose the 46 inch by 25 inch version, and I believe the larger size is the better option for my needs. It captures plenty of reflected light, spreads it evenly, and wraps around the subject beautifully, creating a much more flattering and controlled light. Overall, this is a very well designed reflector. It is lightweight, fast to use, easy to carry, and delivers the quality of light you want from a professional reflector. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].
