70-Inch(White, Silver) Portable Photography Studio Multi Photo Disc Collapsible Light Reflector (Photography Accessories) (Collapsible)

This is a real mixed bag of a review.Its great to have a more reasonable priced large curved reflector available and I'm going to look forward to using this.My initial observations:1) The curved frame is metal and strong and fairly heavy. Assembly instructions were included however, it was not a simple assembly , the fabric is stretched very tight and inserting the end cross struts placed the seams under a lot of stress. Not easy to assemble and dis-assembled multiple times which limits its usefulness.2) Separate gold and silver surfaces are provided. A white would be more useful than the gold, and was mentioned on the original description (no longer mentioned) and the supplier did respond to my question about this and clarified that white was not included. but after I had ordered.3) The description says a handy travel bag is included. This is important especially if you do want to try and take this on location. However, no bag was included. I have reached out to the supplier and am awaiting a response.4) The supplied lightstand is flimsy. The 5/8 mounting stud is loose and wobbles . The reflector is sturdy and heavy so I can't risk letting this fall on someone if/when the tip breaks off.5) Also the supplied lightstand at its lowest is a bit too tall . The ideal position for this reflector is in front of a sitting subject. It doesn't really go low enough for that.6) The adjustment bracket gives a good range of tilt from perpendicular to parallel to the floor. Really good.7) The silver material appears heavy duty and should last well. Again, good.So, I really wanted to like this , but can't overlook the lack of the carry bag and the poor choice of support stand, that is already almost breaking and is not safe.I'll be keeping the reflector as I fear for my fingers if i try and disassemble it.I will throw the lightstand away and be looking for a white reflective surface, but this is not as portable or useful or as good value as I was hoping. I will update the review after a few weeks , especially if I hear back from the supplier.EDIT : I have decided to update this review from 3 stars to 4 stars. The lightstand is junk and there is still no carry case (despite the description), but the supplier did arrange for a white cover to be sent , which I really appreciate.And now I have had the chance to use the reflector on a number of photoshoots and I really like the catchlight it gives to the subjects eyes. It is a good quality product. So, for the price I think it is worth 4 stars, even without the carry case or a good lightstand.

I purchased this model, and the Lumanio that is doubke in price.Pros:1.This model is a wider coverage, about a foot wider, and can cover 2 people easily.2. Has both silver and gold with black trim on both3. The silver material does not wrinkle and leave reflective subject with wrinkle look.4. This model includes a stand!5. This model has a stand adapter that allows for 90 degree tilt for multi use on other subjects or tabletop.6. This model is lighter weight, yet sturdy enough.While this is a decent "eyelighter". I would prefer a support that is not crossing the material, so a white diffuser maybe used. But otherwise in comparison to what is available now, this is superior, and better priced.

Received order in about 36 hours with Prime.Likes:1. First and foremost - PRICE. I'm not a full-time photographer so I didn't want to spend the $300 for the Westcott Eyelighter II. For a little more than 1/4 of the price I decided to give this a try.2. I saw on a YouTube review that the Eyelighter II has a raised pebble surface on the reflector. So does this - however this one is probably less than the Eyelighter II, but hey corners had to be cut somewhere to lower the price.3. This comes with a stand but it isn't as sturdy as I would like but it will do the job. Besides, I have other stands I can use if necessary.Dislikes:1. The stitching that you insert the rods into is questionable. It hasn't ripped but I'm sure Westcott does a better job for $300.2. Same thing with the bracket that attaches to the stand. It's not the same quality of the Eyelighter II. They could improve that and charge another $50.3. The assembly instructions suck. It took about 15 minutes (but I'm sure it will get easier with time).The pros FAR OUTWEIGH the cons. I haven't used it yet, but as long as everything holds up - I'd RECOMMEND it.

This reflector provides soft lighing that surrounds your subject evenly for corporate headshots or for video. It come with only a silver and gold reflecting fabric. The biggest drawback is that it must be completely disassembled to change it from one to the other. It baffles me why they didn't include a while reflector and a carrying case. Otherwise it gets the job done. I intend to fabricate a white reflector on my own and attach it to the silver using velcro. I'll also buy a large tripod case for storage and transport.

So, right out of the box I assemble it (10 minutes work...without rushing, and glancing at the instructions), and do an impromptu setup to test it out. So far, it seems to work just fine.I used myself as a test subject, so pardon the lack of tack sharpness. But it does what I would need it to do, which is not only create some catch light in the pupils, but clean up the shadow under the subjects' jawline, neck, and upper torso.I used a two strobe setup with umbrellas that are lined with silver and gold alternating, which is why the warmth in this image is so (white lined umbrellas would give less warmth).I haven't delved into the 'easy fold' part just yet. If it is indeed easy, I'll bump the rating up to 5.The accompanying stand does have high minimal (almost 3 feet), so it'd probably be a good idea to get some mini stands if you want to start from a lower height.So far, this product is definitely worth the money, and is a must have if you're a portrait shooter.

I bought this to take with on mobile shoots. It worked well, but it was very hard to get the poles connected and taken apart.
