Product Description

Product Description
The 40" 5-in-1 Reflector Kit is the fastest, most affordable way to achieve diffused or reflective light. Each kit contains a diffusion panel, as well as a slipcover that is silver/gold/white and black. Use it outdoors or add to an existing studio set up for even more versatility and control. Frames are double-riveted to stand up to tough abuse while maintaining its shape and flexibility. Photo Basics, a division of the F.J. Westcott Company, was developed to be the first series of lighting kits to come packaged complete with education. Each kit will walk you through an introduction to photography, how to operate and understand your digital camera, lighting and posing, along with tips and techniques for scouting out the best locations for image capture. For those of you who have always had a love of photography but never thought you could take your images to the next level, this is your answer. Through an exclusive step-by-step 2-hour instructional DVD, a helpful floor positioning mat and tons of detail ¿ you'll be framing those images in no time that you once tucked away in a box. For the beginning Pro looking to enhance their already great images, this system allows not only education to further that skill, but a quick portable set up to insure you capture all of those great candids with good lighting. Good luck and enjoy your adventure into photography!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!, September 26, 2007

By	Travis Manley "Travis Manley" (sequim, wa) - See all my reviews

I use this with a Sunpak 383 flash in my studio and outside and it works great! The only problem is if you extend the height or move the arm out at all you need to use a sandbag at the base to keep it from tipping over. It feels very solid (aside from the tipping over) and comes with a DVD showing how to set it up and use it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Reflector NICE, stand is CHEAP., November 4, 2007

By	BevGuhl (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

I wanted to love this product, but was so disappointed in the quality of the stand (mine was defective--the ball joint would not budge so neither I nor a partner could attach the arm to the stand). I had to return it. The clips are plastic and one of those would not work either. It's so flimsy even the DVD says you'll need a "sandbag" to anchor it if there is any wind (outdoor shots). Great idea, but wish they had a better stand to offer. The reflector looked good, but based on the quality of the stand I'd have concerns about the longevity of the zippers, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reflector Kit Great Value , October 24, 2007

By	K. Perna "-Q" (Exton, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun to use and practical. Once you figure out how to connect the reflector to the stand, the only downside is making sure it doesn't tip over. If you use it inside, turn off any fans. If you use it outside, leave the stand and get someone to hold the reflector. All-in-all this is a great value.
