I have edited this review to keep up with my new review format, but the sentiments haven't changed!
CONSTRUCTION
Let's start with this: Is this of the same quality as a pro reflector? No. I am already feeling the rim starting to bend in places and ways it shouldn't, but I do not anticipate it breaking any time soon. The panels themselves are made of good quality material, and so far the case has withstood many travels! As one commenter helpfully pointed out, "the reflector folds up into a 16" diameter carrying case that is roughly 3.5" (but can be compressed to about one half that)".
FUNCTION
Does this thing work like it should? Absolutely. As I mentioned it is made of good materials and has held up very well so far. I am a pro photographer, but never above a good deal - I am a big supporter of "the little guy". The versatility of this little reflector is excellent - you can use it for almost any situation, and I find myself switching from silver to gold to translucent within the same shoot, because we all know that changing an angle outdoors can completely change your lighting! Works quite nicely as a shoot-through if you have an assistant to hold it!
OVERALL
Would I buy this again? Absolutely. The sheer quality of this reflector at the price paid, makes the "best bang for your buck" cliché almost bearable! Out of all of my photog friends, not one can pick this out as a budget reflector, and several have been converted. It has stood up to the test of time (see updates below), and that is all I can ask or expect.
Cheap.
Works.
Recommended.
**EDIT**
Almost a year, and PLENTY of shoots later, and this great piece of equipment is still going strong!!!... Read more ›

When I say "cheap", I don't mean poor quality. I mean inexpensive. Digital Juice sells theirs online for $100- and it's the same thing! I have no complaints. This thing works great. But, let's say, for the sake of argument, that it IS poorer quality and only lasts 1/2 as long as the one digital juice sells. So what?! It's only $17! I can buy several more- and still pay less!

Does the job its supposed to. When you get one of these, if you don't already know, look on Y-tube how to fold one back up and put into the case. The case is as big as a medium pizza pan; the disc is large enough to conceal half an average adult body.
Customer service was A+ to correct a slight issue with the order.
Would do business again with seller since they made the correction painless.

The product is great, does an amazing job, and is very valuable for such a good price.
PROS: Great quality, works well at refracting/diffusing light, several color options, compact and easy to carry, incredible value for price
CONS: slightly smaller compared to the rectangular ones, can be difficult to fold for some
OVERALL: Great product for the cost, highly recommended.
----END OF REVIEW----
TO FOLD FOR STORAGE:
1. Hold in front of you like a steering wheel but with hands at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock
2. Release right hand grip, turn hand and regrip so thumb is pointing down (now ready to fold)
3. Twist wrists in opposite directions (right hand towards you and left away, creating figure 8)
4. Bring hands together as you twist
5. Reflector will be in 3 layers and middle will tuck into other two. Don't be afraid to use a little pressure!

This was the cheapest 5-in-1 reflector of this size and was a great deal.
The spring is very strong, so watch out not to let it pop out and hit someone upon opening.
The zipper can snag a bit, but if you push down on the metal frame (it's flexible after all), then you can more easily zip it closed. It's decently made and the sewing and quality of materials are satisfactory.

There are many available reflectors on the market, and numerous collapsible
versions. This reflector works just great and is available at a very low price.
I used it within minutes of its arrival, and had excellent results.

I purchased this disc to use for my outdooor photoshoots . First it works as a reflector should with no problem, howeever it broke when trying to bend it back into shape one day after only having it about a month .I twisted it the way my assistant and I always do and the metal snapped it is now impossible to fold into smaller size It is still usable just not able to twist down for easy storage. Im not sure if this is true of all collapsible reflectors as this is the only one ive bought.

I shoot a lot of fashion/editorial photography so I wanted a good reflector to help bounce light in outdoor shoots. After looking at a few, I decided this seemed like a fair price and a lot of versatility, so I ordered it.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see that in addition to being a reflector, the center part was a good thick silk, and not just a white bounce card like I had assumed. I absolutely love it, and it has been such a great tool for shooting portraits in harsh sunlight.
Everything collapses easily into a manageable sized case. If you need to bounce or diffuse light I highly recommend this set and this seller.

Works great; paranoid it'll break, but it hasn't yet
It kind of feels like the outer ring could easily break, but so far it hasn't. I've folded and popped this thing out quite a few times, and so far it's still in one piece. Read more

Ingenious how they have these all together
Once I master re folding into circles I will have a great time with these sturdy, professional quality reflectors. Size and design make it easy to carry with a cart of other stuff.
