The Manfrotto/Bogen RH353 Reflector holder is well made and very well thought out. The holder is made of tubular aluminum. It collapses down to 28" and extends via 2 extensions [2x11.4"] to a maximum of 63 inches. Each natural aluminum tube slides inside the next. The main tube has a hand grip, providing a way to move the reflector easily. The head comes two clamps that can be attached to any support structure [light stand] with a dia. of 5/8" or larger. It can be rotated to any angle--horizontal or vertical (360deg.) and has two knobs one applies pressure to the boom and the other to the support. The reflector clamps are made of hard rubber. The overall construction is excellent and should perform as designed for many years. This unit does cost more than another one available; however, the quality is there and worth it. I own many Manfrotto/Bogen products and NEVER been disappointed.

The unit did not come with any instructions. After some study, I loosened one of the head clamps and attached to the boom above the handle and just below the fixed reflector rubber clamp.

I am using this holder with the FlashPoint 42" 5 in 1 reflector and the Westcott 750 light stand.

I always feel kind of funny reviewing things like this. I recently had to provide a review for a lens hood. Uhhh, it's a lens hood.

Anyway, this manfrotto reflector holder is perfect. It holds nicely, and is very easy to adjust. It is very nice in terms of quality construction and functionality. It extends out nicely to hold large reflectors or scrims. It was better than I expected. I highly recommend this one.

I'm setting up a home studio and have purchased products from a lot of manufacturers. Some of them are just plain disappointing while others are obviously quality constructed. Any Bogen/Manfrotto product that I've ever purchased has been higher priced but built much better than almost anybody else, plus you can get parts anywhere. I have a tripod that is probably over 10 years old, still looks and works like new, and I was able to go into a camera store and buy cable holders and quick release plates to fit it.

Everything works smoothly, and the reflector holders work great, something that I've read about other products clips breaking. I put it on a smallish Bogen nano stand with a 42" reflector, after a few hours the whole thing toppled over but luckily there was no damage. One advantage of everything major being made of steel.

You might save $10 and get a cheaper holder but I'll guarantee the aggravation of it not working right or breaking will cost you 100 times that, and what if it breaks in half in front of a client?
