Smart buy and nice set - not 5 separate panels.

I just received this so I haven't tried it in the field yet, but I thought I would quickly write down and expand on the title of the product. It is, indeed, a "5-in1". Specifically, and unlike the first photo in the product images, it is NOT 5 separate panels. This kit consists of three (3) things: one zippered case, one diffuser panel and one 4-sided zippered cover for that diffuser panel. The 4-sided zippered cover has 4 different "finishes": black, white, silver and gold. The diffuser panel is the only part with a wire rim for rigidity, and the 4-sided reflector cover must be zipped over the diffuser panel for use as a rigid reflector or shade. This being said- as much as I am slightly disappointed that this was not 5 individual panels, I do appreciate the ingenuity of making this a compact set with a smart storage feature. It is a 24"-diameter panel that folds down into a 9"-diameter zippered case. So far it appears to be of decent quality for the budget price.

Great tool!!

These are so much fun!! I am an amateur photographer focusing mostly on landscapes but wanted to dabble more into photographing people, especially children (I have 4 of my own!). I love the convenience and ease of these and they work beautifully, especially for close-ups. Takes some time to learn the fold up method (but that just might be me!) and I like that it comes with a carrying case. I do recommend fold up instructions/pictures be included with the product instead of having to look online. But all in all, a wonderful buy and great addition for any photographer!

great addition

First time i used it i loved it. small enough to take anywhere and does a great job. if you are looking for inexpensive at first i highly recommend this to get you started.

These are great reflectors!

Very useful to have, especially if you shoot photos of people outside. I love that these are easy to pop open and lightweight so that they don't add a lot of weight to my equipment bag. They're also pretty small, about nine inches across. I'm not a professional photographer -- I'd probably say I'm a really good amateur -- so I can't say whether these are professional quality. But for the price, they are a great addition to my kit and really make it easy to add some reflective light when I'm shooting people shots. You could also use this for other things -- maybe product photography -- but I use them when I'm talking shots of people because I really don't like to use a flash if I can help it. These just add a more natural looking light and they also allow me to control exactly where it goes. Plus, the different color reflectors let me control the color and intensity of the light. I use the white ones the most, but the gold one does give off a really pretty color. Definitely recommend these if you are needing some affordable reflectors or if you just want to experiment with them. For $12, you can't go wrong.

What a Steal!

I bought this not knowing how much i would fall in love with it. I used it on a shoot not too long ago and it made my pictures even better. I would advise you to watch a few youtube tutorials on it before using though. I used the shade part of this product and it made such a huge difference for my subject. If i did not use it they would have had closed eyes from the sun and there would have been a huge shadow on the face. Look how clear the photo is! It's a great size.

Happy with this purchase

Works well when you need extra light with out the flash. I posted an unedited photo using the gold disc and another with out any. You can see how it gives a nice warm glow.

Good price for the product

I’ve only had this reflector for a couple weeks, so I can’t say how long it will last, but I’d imagine it will hold up for a while if it’s not abused. I needed something quick and portable for a portrait shoot with a band at a venue and grabbed this because of its size and how inexpensive it is. Love it’s nylon carry pouch and I find that it folds up pretty easy, and doesn’t feel like it’s going to snap anytime soon. Even if for some reason it did break, I would probably buy another. Does it compare to expensive “pro” reflectors, no probably not, but they aren’t this price either. But it bounces light just fine.

Perfect size and works great!!

I bought this just to use when taking pictures with my phone in hopes that they would look more professional ! I love it and it's he perfect size. I was using a piece of poster board with foil on it before and this thing is the real deal!! I only have used the silver so far but it's great! I'm so happy I went ahead and bought it !

I only eat grapes at night while I watch you sleep.

This is the perfect trap gift for the aspiring Instagram transitioning to DSLR photographer husband whose wife has upgraded from her iPhone and/or favorite exploding Samsung to a DSLR camera. Now, you too can thoughtfully encourage your spouse's interest in photography while participating as so much more than just a human tripod and remote control! This gift really pairs well for the photographer in your life with a step ladder/stool, remote control and tripod for said photographer (since you will not longer be positioned behind the camera/smartphone) and some YouTube tutorials on lighting/iso/exposure/open shade and how to position reflectors to minimize the amount of tantrums your photographer berates you with for being such a F*****G MORON...Dear Jesus please help me...I don't know how much longer I can go on... Anyway, with pumpkin patch and hay bale season now passed, grab this on Prime for a great Christmas present and start your New Year off right with a great and very subtle, soft lighting enhancer!

Nice reflectors when you are on the go - or do outdoor photography

This is a great set of a nice size reflectors. The set will fold up to fit into a zippered black nylon pouch that is 12 in. wide and about 2 1/2 in deep; it will 'give' some to pack it kinda bent if you have a smaller backpack. I have a larger set of reflectors, this size is better for macro work, or if you don't have a lot of room in your photo bag. The set is very lightweight, but is durable. The one disc with the wire in it may double as a diffuser for direct sunlight, and/or slip over one of the other colors to use for reflectors. You will have to practice a bit to learn how to twist it to get it doubled to fit into the bag. When shooting in the field pack lite - take along a couple of clothespins to attach it to some twigs or against your bag to keep it upright.
