Westcott 5-in-1 Reflector Overview

The BASICS Westcott 40.5" 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector 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.

This 40.5" (1 m) disc is suitable for 3/4 length portraits, and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 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. To order this disc with a stand and an arm: Click here.

Silver increases the specular highlights and yields a high-contrast image. It's perfect for video, product shots and B&W photography.
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.
The black side diminishes unwanted reflections or color casts.
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.

Most photographers use white or silver reflectors. Are these colors on opposite sides where you flip the reflector 180 degrees to use either, or do you have to painstakenly turn it inside out every time you need to switch between white and silver?
Asked by: Vaughn
Yes. The following unit has to be flipped inside out in order to use silver/white. Please review the following item Impact Circular Collapsible Reflector with Handles (42", Silver/White) BH #IMR2542SW • MFR #R2542-SW https://bhpho.to/3HH9zOs

Can this be folded up with the zippered material attached? Or does the zippered material have to be put on it each time?
Asked by: William
I am not exactly sure of what your question is, but they don't fold at all. You have to open the zipper to pull them out or put them back. Then when you flip them inside out, yes you can still close the zipper.
