5 out of 5 stars Very useful   November 24, 2008

It exactly suits my purpose. Not so big, not so small.. However, note that if you are interested in casual photographs with full portrait and wide background, you can't use this product. 'caz reflector needs to be close to the object and it ends up seen in the frame..


4 out of 5 stars Great product except for the zipper   November 16, 2008

Great light reflector after you get the darn zipper to work. The zipper is constantly getting caught or stuck. Great price and value for the lighting element so it's worth the money. Just know you WILL have hassles with it.


5 out of 5 stars Strobist, on the cheap lighting.   November 6, 2008

Great product for the price. If you need light on the cheap go with this one.


4 out of 5 stars Good product for the $.   October 21, 2008

I read several reviews before purchasing this reflector and was concerned with the issue of the zipper being difficult to use. But I did purchase it because of need and the amount of funds I had available at the time. I've used it a couple times so far and the product itself works great. The zipper is a bit troublesome but only on the gold side for me. Truly though, it's a minor nuisance for the convenience of having the 5-in-1 and the easy travel.


3 out of 5 stars Great Reflector. Bad Case.   September 21, 2008
The quality of the reflector is great, but the case for it is absolutely terrible. I am very careful with all of my gear, but the first day I used my reflector, it started to shred and fall apart.
