Product Description

This versatile 110cm (43") reflector set offers a choice of 5 surfaces. The spring frame is covered with white translucent material that can be used to diffuse both studio light and direct sunlight. A reversible cover offers a choice of white, silver or gold reflective surfaces, plus a black surface for use when there is a need to increase contrast in a picture by cutting down the amount of light that is reflected into the shadows. Folds easily into the included carrying case

At first I had to tug a little but after using it a couple of times, the zipper is fine. courtneycarmody  |  7 reviewers made a similar statement

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Size! Quality surfaces November 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
The size of this reflector is great!

The surfaces materials (gold and silver reflective material) seem to be well bonded and I don't see any signs of flaking off.

The collapsable wire frame seems strong and looks like it will withstand alot of use.

The zipper is the weakest link in the chain. The zipper likes to "catch" on the material and the wire frame. With that said, I think this is the case with all combonation reflectors. I have found after some practice that the zipper problem can be overcome.

***ZIPPER TIP***
When switching surfaces, don't try to zip the reflector in one quick motion. You can close the zipper almost half way before it starts to catch. So when nearing the middle of the zipping process, GENTLY pull the zipper away from the frame while pulling the front and back cover material up off the frame with your other hand**. close the zipper up to where your fingers are holding the front and back cover and then move up about a 1/4 way of the remaining opening and repeat the process of gently pulling on the zipper and cover material. The cover material is very "elastic" and can easily be lifted from the wire frame during the zipping process. It took some practice but now I can change my surfaces while talking to the client and it looks completely effortless.

**Pinch the front and back cover with your thumb and pointer finger while pushing the wire frame down and away from the zipper with your middle finger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality Product November 25, 2008
I recently purchased this reflector because i was using a 31" that was too small for my work. I wish i would of just purchased this one from the beginning i would of saved some money that way. Also this one is better then my smaller one because my smaller one has kind of like glitter or some shinny stuff that comes off and gets all over everything but this material doesn't shed any particles. Good product.

I am very happy with every aspect of these reflectors. They are very well built and had the best price I could find for the size and variations. I also love that they came with a compact carrying case! I would definitely recommend this product to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what you expect
It's a light weight, collapsible disc reflector! The only con is if you take off the screen to switch it, it's nearly impossible to zip it back on there. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Great reflector - Weak zipper
I won't say much, because there is no need to.
The reflector is great. The zipper will break.
I thought it was just a matter of being careful, and I was careful. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars I only had it for a day.
The material is thin and the reflective surface started to peel off when I switched the sleeve around. This is not worth it when you can find better products for a similar price. Read more
