Great, but maybe not for idiots
OK people, if you're a photographer, you should know how to fold one of these by now. Practice folding it at home so that you're not looking like an idiot on location. Look it up on Youtube. They all fold the same way, regardless of size/brand. I've used the white reflector as well as the diffuser. I'm happy with the result. It has one loop at the top which you can use to tie down to something (such as a light stand) with either a velcro tie loop or an A-clamp (not included). It would be nice if it had a loop at the other end, but I improvise. I have a bigger one that has 4 Velcro straps in each corner, which in my opinion is a better design. It's a decent size, but not too big to transport or handle.

Great Reflector - Nice Large Size
Great reflector, large size gives you a lot of light back on your subject. Used it for the first time on a recent outdoor portrait shoot (Photos Attached) and I was very impressed. Great for fill or primary light source. The 3rd attached photo shows the size of the reflector while leaning against a park bench. Worth the price.

Does its job!
This reflector took my portrait photography to a new level. It's quite versatile and very portable (although learning how to fold it up takes a few tries). I tested it one morning at sunrise by the lake. I had my model face south as the sun came up (east) over the horizon. I placed the reflector (using the gold surface) to her right (west) so that it would reflect the light to the side of her face that was shadowed. The difference was very noticeable when I compared it to other shots I took in the same position without the reflector. It balanced my subjects face and created a very flattering warm light. I've played with some of the other surfaces also (silver and white). It's been a real treat experimenting with this accessory, and quite honestly I can't believe I've gone this long without a reflector. The quality of the product seems on par with the price. I think it'll last me at a few years before I need to replace it. All in all I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to play with and manipulate natural light.

One of the best purchases a creative can make!
The brand doesn’t really matter with these. I have two and one is this brand, the other is a fotodiox.
If you shoot video OR photo you will find use for this. I’ve DP’d on multiple projects where these were absolutely a LIFE SAVER. I’ve used it high on a stand to block off light from a light stand. I use it for fill light. We’ve used them to diffuse light from a spot light. I’ve used them to bounce window light for portraiture. I’ve blocked windows for an interview where the windows were reflecting in a TV behind the subject. I’ve used them for negative fill. We’ve used them handheld for music videos to both reflect light creatively or provide fill light when a powered light source isn’t an option.
THESE ARE INCREDIBLY USEFUL! I think you should have 2 but that’s just my opinion.
I suggest you buy a light stand clamp so you can put these on stands.

These Work Well
Man these are bigger than I thought. I'm 6'3" and these come to my chest. When I first opened them and it popped into place it smacked my wife in the face because we didn't realize how big they were. That warning aside these work great!!! I love them. I'm very happy with my purchase! I've attached a few of images where I used these for a children's portrait shoot.

Perfect
I’m starting a YouTube channel and for a while now I’ve struggled to find insulation boards that are the right size to bounce light for me. I also struggled with the idea that i would have to find storage space to put these insulation boards. Finally i have found something I can mount and put away. I bought two of them for each side. When I’m done filming, I can pack them up and hide them under the bed. I did a test shoot and was very pleased with the outcome. I live in a small New York apartment and this is very functional for me and my family. No insulation boards everywhere taking up space.

Love this huge reflector and diffuser
Love this huge reflector and diffuser! Versatile, can be used as a diffuser, backdrop, shade, or light source. The large size of this item gives a soft and attractive light towards your subject. The fact that it folds down to a compact size means it is always ready to use in a few seconds. It may be a little tricky to fold the first time you try it, but you will get the hang of it. There are many videos online that show you how to fold them and once you get it down, it is a breeze. The material is sturdy and I have been using it for around six months with regular outdoor use and there have been no defects so far. High quality. Definitely wows the client to have such an impressive piece of equipment, and having four materials in one object means you are ready for any situation. Would recommend to every photographer, hobbyist or professional because of how many uses it has and how affordable it is.

Nice for the Price
5-in-1 reflectors offer a lot of flexibility in a small package. This one is made pretty well and has the most critical components to me: black, white and silver. You can always press this into service as a very small background though it will be a bit wrinkly. Not sure if this will hold up as well to heavy use as name brands, but some name brand backgrounds of this type that I have, have failed over time in heavy use anyway. If you’re in a studio, go for it. If you’re out in the road a lot like me, you’re going to beat these up anyway so ... go for it.

Well worth the money
These are great for the money used them for the very first time to shoot some prom pictures of my son just 1 day after I received them so I had no time to practice with them. The photo's came out amazing. They reflect light beautifully they are light and easy to take with me. I am not a proffesional so I do not know how they would hold up to very heavy use(they could be perfectly fine). For my purposes they quality is excellent and I anticipate they will last a long time. Keep in mind this is actually one opaque diffuser with 4 different color covers. They are easy to change If you are looking for an inexpensive reflector these are well worth the money. I am not disappointed

Useful, compact multi-reflector works well.
A reflector is an important tool for any photographer/videographer's toolbox. This one is very compact, folding up like a windshield sunshade.
It has four different colors including silver and white, but I use only the silver. They all zip together to one unit, so it's easy to handle. I don't use it a lot, but when I do, it does what it's supposed to.
Question & Answer
Question :
should I get this one 47x71 or a 43" one as my first reflector for portrait and boudoir shots?
Answer :
43” easier to handle and good for head and shoulder shots. 47 x 71 better for full body shots but a bit harder to handle and fold back up. Personally I’d get one of each, the right tool for the job.
Question :
What size after the panel is collapsed? Will the fit in my suitcase to travel with them?
Answer :
43 Cm / 16 inches. I have the round one and this oval one, the difference when it collapses is practically none. About the suitcase... Well... it's 16 inches, I think it will, but depends on your suitcase.
Question :
How do you fold this? Anyone have any videos pertaining to this product particularly? I bought this and I cannot fold it back.
Answer :
I had the same problem with the 59X79 one. Try watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDDM8UyvE6k
Question :
what is the correct shipping weight?
Answer :
7lbs
Question :
Anyone know how many stops of light loss the diffuser creates, say, in full mid afternoon sun?
Answer :
Generally about 2 to 3 stops
Question :
How firm is this? Can you use it to block the sun by having an assistant hold it? Would it collapse or stay firm outdoors in wind?
Answer :
It's very firm, I used it on a couple of occasions to block the sun. It works just fine. You can even hold it with one hand it won't collapse.
Question :
Is the white one diffuser?
Answer :
Yes, the white one is a diffuser.
Question :
Can the black/gold panel be removed if I only want to travel with the silver/white surfaces?
Answer :
All 4 are on the same cover, gold/wide inside black/silver outside
Question :
What type of material is this made from and can it be cleaned?
Answer :
It's like windbreaker material. Yes you can wipe it clean easily.
Question :
Will this warp?
Answer :
Not at all! I own 3 of them in different sizes and they are holding really well!
