NEEWER32-Inch 80CM Portable 5 in 1 Translucent, Silver, Gold, White, and Black Collapsible Round Multi Disc Light Reflector for Studio or any Photography Situation

So this was so cheap I was a little worried about it, but, I was buying it for one certain project and if it worked, great, if not I was out very little. Well, it arrived from amazon in about a week (that is a long time for them but well with in the time it said it would and in plenty of time for me). I was on my way out the door when it came I was so excited to see if it was going to work, and it looked so small I was worried, that I opened it there on the porch. Well it surpassed my expectations as to size, once unfolded, and quality. I used it for the project I had in mind the very next day and I was so pleased with the outcome as were the people that I was taking the photos for. worked great with natural sunlight and with the flash bounced off it. Initially I was only interested in the gold side for the effect I wanted but I used the silver as well and I have used both sides several times over this first weekend. I had no "zipper" trouble and the quality is fine for the price if you take care of this it will last a while, if you beat it up it wont but your not out much. I am planning on getting a second for some ideas I am having. If you have reasonable expectations of the product for the price and for the outcome of your shots you will be happy with this. My only problem is getting it back into the pack I found this little video on youtub that shows how, there were several (I must not be the only one who couldn't figure it out) I just picked this one cause it was easy and short don't know who made it and and am not trying to take credit at all it wasn't me but I appreciated it and just thought I would include it for others to see.

The media could not be loaded. A reflector is a fantastic tool to have at your disposal. It really solves some vexing lighting issues in what would otherwise be difficult lighting situations. I use a reflector most often outside and it so useful. You can spend a lot of money on reflector screens but this Neewer 32" reflector screen is such an outright bargain, it's hard to resist.This screen comes with a zippered nylon carry case. The zipper should not be man-handled and works just fine. If you're in a hurry and you start zipping with a lot of force, it may jam up on you or the nylon of the case may get caught in the zipper teeth while zipping. Just slow down and be gentle... it works just fine.The screen basically deploys itself with a spring-like action and once it has unfolded itself you are presented with a 32" diameter disc that is black on one side and silver on the other. A zipper goes halfway around the outer circumference of black/silver material and when unzipped reveals a gold surface on one side and a white surface on the other. The translucent material comprises the core of the reflector and it is around the translucent core that you zip the outer cover around once you've chosen which color surface you wish to use.The only issue is the material is quite wrinkled. The wrinkles will diminish womewhat once the reflector is fully expanded but never quite go away completely. It's not a big issue though because the wrinkled appearance of the reflector surface does not significantly affect the light reflected from the surface to your subject.This is such a great value that even the most budget minded photography can now easily afford this great tool. And once you begin using it you will wish you had had one years ago.

I’ve owned a lot of reflectors, some of the very pricey ones, and this is by far the best and most clever one. It gives you five options - four different colored reflector surfaces in a reversable jacket, that can be zipped around a transluscent core, or left off. The core can be used wthout the jacket as a nice-size diffuser. It’s not the same as having four reflectors but I can’t remember ever needing more than one round reflector at a time. The reflector jacket looks well made. The failure point will eventually be the lightweight zipper, but if and when that happens, I imagine I will have gotten plenty of use out of this reflector, one priced so low I won’t worry a lot about it.

Having little experience with reflectors, I'm finding this kit worth every penny. I call it a kit because every part works together. It's not five reflectors, not even four reflectors and a translucent ring. It's a translucent disk with a foldable metal ring that can be used alone or zipped up in a cover that has four different reflections: gold, silver, white, or black. It can only be 1 of these 5 things at a time. You could get away with using the inner translucent disk with a reflector, but you'd have to have a way to support the reflector w/o inserting the translucent disk, like a person stretching it out; it would be easier to buy a 2nd one.I like the size because it fits in my backpack. If I'd bought the bigger 43" version, I'd have difficulty storing it.
