Great value and almost a necessity for photographers shooting outdoors. Would highly recommend!
Purchased this 5-in-1 reflector set (32 inch round version) for a kindergarten class photo shoot that I did last week. This is the first time for me using reflectors and boy, I wish I would have purchased these sooner. I love photographing outdoors but there are definitely times where you are not able to control the lighting...it's Mother Nature! With this, you now have the ability to direct or filter the sunlight as needed. Living the the Pacific Northwest, the weather/sunlight is unpredictable to say the least. The photoshoot was right around lunchtime, so the sun was out in full force. My assistant was able to hold up the white filter and disperse/soften the harsh sunlight over the subject's face. This made a world of difference. We also used some of the reflective sides as the sun was beginning to angle behind the subject.
To summarize: This is a great purchase for any photographer shooting outdoors. It's easy to use and provides 5 different reflectors (one of which is a filter). I had no issues with folding it back up into the zippered case. Also, the handles are nice to have.

Perfect
These reflectors are perfect for the price and I love the versatility that it comes with. I used these reflectors for my short film "Man of my Word" on youtube which you can find by searching RodneyMac12. I love the fact they have handles on them and they handle light really well. They also come with a zip up bag. I will probably get a bigger size next time.

These are GREAT
I have wanted one of these for a long time. I first saw one years ago that a photographer was using outside to soften the light for portraits. Super light weight and portable. I will use mine to diffuse light for still life photos inside. This is a beautiful set with a range of materials for different uses. Quality construction, comes in a nice little case. Really a great buy for the money.

NICE NON-STICK, EASY TO HOLD REFLECTORS > Tricky to close for some...
ORDERED = 04/07/2016 || SELLER = HM-Photo || PAID = $22.90
(Beware of Seller changes! That's how you can get burned!)
:: PROS ::
1.) Well made, great feel, easy to hold for long periods.
2.) Very rigid, folds up well, you will need to coax them to start folding though...stout!
3.) Fits in the case provided, no coating has come off yet, they do NOT stick together which is nice.
:: CONS ::
1.) Can be tough to close if your unsure, I had no problem, but I have several of these ;)
2.) Some users will need a video guide on how to close.
3.) GOLD is very hot, almost too hot, but the reflected light has a nice 'diffused' look NOT a hard foil shine.
:: OVERALL :: The best reflectors I own, very good quality & highly recommended, just don't be timid when you start to close them. ALSO hold handles tight to AVOID the handle cracking others complain about. NEVER start a fold near the handles, this can break them, folding should start 1-2 feet from handle.

Y E S!
We use this in so many way. Versatile! Fold s up great every time. Not only would I recommend but I'f ask you. . .why are you debating. None better at this price range. The scrim/defuser is a life saver for doing outside work on portraits. I'd recommend. We've had our for over a year. Never fails to get used. We've worn out the carrying case we've used the product so much. I'd recommend. Are you still debating on buying?!?! Never regretted our purchase.

Oh how I love these reflectors
Oh how I love these reflectors! I know, it's unnatural to say you LOVE a big round thing that has silver, black, white, or gold panels that reflect light...but they are awesome. They come in a sturdy little bag, and are so easy to "pop" out and to put back into shape when it's time to store them. They are a great size and the handles make all the difference to me. If I'm out in the wind they are easy to hold on to. If I'm inside those handles are GREAT for hanging the reflectors on something nearby if I don't have enough hands to hold them myself.
The whole thing is well made and even after being accidentally stepped on, kicked, and bent a bit too far, it keeps bouncing right back.
I plan to buy other sizes and shapes as I learn more about lighting.

Lightweight and easy to use
Nice product. Comes in a nice carrying pouch and is easy to fold and unfold. My only "issue" is incredibly minor, but I really wish the white reflector and silver reflectors were on the same side. Those are probably the two most used colors, but you have to unzip the reflector and reverse it to go between white and silver. Otherwise I love it.

Good Quality Construction for the Price.
A nice inexpensive reflector that appears to be of reasonable construction for the price.
The basic "hoop" is a translucent diffusion material, great for softening a point-source light (just watch the temperature on incandescent lamps, it could catch fire!), with a zippered cover that has 4 bounce colors that can be brought to bear on the subject by reversing the cover and placing it back on the hoop.
I bought one to try it out and will be buying more in the near future. Very handy for remote locations where the Sun is the only light source.
I really like the molded plastic handles on the reflector; makes it much easier to control and fold. While the zippered pouch that holds the unit probably won't last long, it still is a good value for the price.

I'm impressed with the quality!
Great quality reflectors for a great price! These reflectors feel really solid, and I love the fact that it comes in all kinds of different colors you could ever wish for! They pack away nicely in the little cloth case shown in the description, and they feel sturdy. You can definitely get cheaper reflectors, but you won't get the same quality and feel of these reflectors. Plus, the built in handles are very convenient, and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart on you. I use this with their M11-086 Studio Reflector Holder, and it works fantastically! You won't be disappointed by this product.

A Must-Have Item
An easy five-star rating from me for quality vs price, ease of use, and practicality.
Every photographer should have several reflectors in various sizes to cover every situation. This particular size is very practical, but a larger rectangular is, for me, a must also. This 32" round is easy to use, and a quick twist folds it back down so it can be returned to its accompanying carrier.
There's a reflector color for every photography situation plus a filter to soften the harsh midday sunlight, which actually rescued me on a recent shoot. The handles are a bit of a bonus; they just make it a bit easier to manage.
This is really a must-have item. I always take a couple of reflectors with me on a shoot.
BOTTOM LINE: Buy it!

Haoge 7" 180mm Soft White Diffuser Sock for Studio Strobe Reflector
Question & Answer
Question :
I got my foldable reflector in a very wrinkled state - how could I make it "ironed"please??
Answer :
No need.
This is not a "fashion item", it is a reflector.
It's sole purpose it to push light into the shadows, not give your set-up some sartorial elegance.
Question :
Can i make it so that one side is white and the other side is silver?
Answer :
No,It's white&gold or silver&black
Question :
For the 24" model, now sold (July 2019), please confirm the color pairs that are "outside" at a given state. For example: black/white and silver/gold
Answer :
I have the two handle, larger model. The Frame is diffused when used by itself.
There is a single cover that "sandwiches" the diffused frame.
This cover is reversible, providing 4 different surfaces.
But whatever you choose, has only two sides.
You don't have every possible combination in one second, by turning the reflector over.
I think this is what you want to know...Thus, on the larger model;
White on one side, turn the reflector over; Gold. This is the most popular portrait combo.
Take the slipcover off, and turn inside out. Now you have Black / Silver.
That's the scoops Bud!
Question :
I'm hoping to use this gadget as a portable backdrop, so are the black and white sides sufficiently opaque for daylight shooting?
Answer :
The black side maybe it's a no for the white part as it's mainly used to diffuse the sun.
Question :
do any of these work as a diffuser to lessen direct mid day light?
Answer :
Yes,your choice of color -- silver, gold, white, gold/silver mix -- will be determined by the lighting conditions, and your personal preference.
Question :
5 in1, does it mean 5 different pieces or 1 doing 5 different functions?
Answer :
The kit is a main ring with a translucent white double sided reflector, which can be hand held.
It can be used as either a reflector or for softening the light coming in.
Then there is a cover which can be zipped over the main ring in two ways.
This has Black, White, on one side and Gold and Silver surfaces on the other.
You reverse it before pulling it over the main ring.
The Black can be used to totally shadow a light.
The three reflective ones are to bounce incoming light into the shadow side of the subject.
So two separate parts (plus transport bag) but with 5 distinct uses.
Question :
Hello I would like to know how much does it weigh?
Answer :
2-3 lbs. Here's the really issue, it's huge, acts as a great sail in the wind.
Question :
Does this also have a neutral grey side?
Answer :
No. There is no grey.
Question :
Is the silver reflector metallic or matte?
Answer :
It's a shiny almost foil look to it but it's made of fabric.
Question :
I just purchased. Any tips on how to get it to the translucent side? Also, is it normal for one zipper side to not have a zipper handle?
Answer :
The Translucent is not a "side", it is the default on the frame.
It is white and will both diffuse, if put in the path of the light, or reflect if put on the shadow side, in the light – and used to "bounce" the light back in to lighten the shadows.
The zippers undo, so you can remove the Black/Silver cover completely. Just squeeze the main frame a bit and it will pop out.
You do not need to replace this "cover" but can just fold it up and put it back into the main bag alongside the white frame.
The trick is learning to re-fold the main frame. Check out on line if you have problems, but it really is just a "flick of the wrist" job. That is its design.
