Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Circular Reflector Disc (42")
Key Features
  • White, Silver, Gold & Silver/Gold Colors
  • One Stop Diffusion Panel

  • Includes Storage Bag
The Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector Disc is versatile in the field and in the studio, providing shadow-lightening detail in your subject, using available, or studio lighting. It starts out as a translucent white disc -- perfect for softening direct sun, or lights without diffusion. Use the removable, reversible zippered slipcover to reflect light into shadow areas of your subject. Your choice of color -- silver, gold, white, silver/gold mix -- will be determined by the lighting conditions, and your personal preference.

This 42" disc is suitable for 3/4 length portraits, and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 of its open size, and comes with a storage sleeve. We suggest the purchase of a pivoting arm and stand, to hold the disc where needed -- especially if you are working without an assistant.

Silver increases the specular highlights and yields a high-contrast image. Its perfect for video, product shots and B&W photography.
Soft gold is a mixture of warm and neutral hard reflections.
Gold produces a natural, golden fill that is great for sunsets, jewelry, and indoor portraits.
White produces an even, neutral-colored bounce light that works beautifully as a fill light source for both product shots and indoor/outdoor portraits.
Translucent fabric is used to diffuse light, producing a broad light source and a soft, wraparound effect that's perfect for outdoor portraits or whenever a softer light is needed.

question

How should I care for this product?If I want to get the wrinkles out of the white side to use as a background can I steam it?
Asked by: Anonymous
Only the translucent center can be steamed to remove wrinkles. The covers cannot.

question

What is the difference between this and the westcott? Im choosing between the 2.
Asked by: Jonathan J.
The main differences are the size and the available surfaces. The Westcott 5-in-1 Reflector Disc is smaller at 40.5” and offers Gold, Silver, White, Black and Translucent surfaces. With the Impact 5-in-1 Collapsible Circular Reflector Disc, that is larger at 42” and offers White, Silver, Gold/Silver, and Gold surfaces. The right choice is going to depend on the size of your subject and which surfaces are more important for your particular set up.

question

Can anyone recommend an appropriate reflector holder for this 32 reflector? I want to put it on top of a tripod/light stand but all of the reflector holders seem to be for 60 reflectors and that seems like massive overkill. Impact makes one (Impact Telescopic Collapsible Reflector Holder) but that is way too big. Looking for something cheap that will collapse small.
Asked by: Gage
A smaller and less expensive reflector arm that we offer is the SP Studio Systems Universal Reflector Mounting Arm B&H # SPMAUR. Please see the image below for reference.

Asked by: Kevin J.

question

Is it possible to bounce a tungsten light off of the reflector? Or shine a tungsten light through the white diffusion? I have 650 Watt, 600 Watt, and 1000 Watt lights. Thanks.
Asked by: Paul
I see no reason why it should not be possible. The only problem could be the heat from the light, if the distance is to short. As I have not used the reflector together with tungsten light, I can not give you any guidelines on the distance needed.

question

Can I use this to diffuse light through it or only for reflection/bouncing?
Asked by: Jacob S.
The Impact 5-in-1 reflector has worked out well and gives versatility to background lighting. Getting several options in one purchase was a great investment. The reflectors has worked great for my photography sessions. Great buy for that many options.
