Product Description
Photo Basics by Westcott's 40" 5-in-1 Reflector Kit is the fastest, most affordable way to achieve diffused or reflective light. Each kit contains a diffusion panel as well as a reversible slip cover with four sides: silver, gold, white and black. Use it outdoors or add to an existing studio set up for even more versatility and control. Frames are double-riveted to stand up to tough abuse while maintaining its shape and flexibility.

4 out of 5 stars Works Great!   September 26, 2007

I use this with a Sunpak 383 flash in my studio and outside and it works great! The only problem is if you extend the height or move the arm out at all you need to use a sandbag at the base to keep it from tipping over. It feels very solid (aside from the tipping over) and comes with a DVD showing how to set it up and use it.

As the advertising says, this flexible reflector is a basic necessity for any serious photographer. I like the fact that I didn't have to pull the pieces together, but ordered the kit. The supplier had it there before promised and I've found the equipment simple to use and good quality.




4 out of 5 stars Reflector Kit Great Value   October 24, 2007

Fun to use and practical. Once you figure out how to connect the reflector to the stand, the only downside is making sure it doesn't tip over. If you use it inside, turn off any fans. If you use it outside, leave the stand and get someone to hold the reflector. All-in-all this is a great value.


1 out of 5 stars Reflector NICE, stand is CHEAP.   November 4, 2007

I wanted to love this product, but was so disappointed in the quality of the stand (mine was defective--the ball joint would not budge so neither I nor a partner could attach the arm to the stand). I had to return it. The clips are plastic and one of those would not work either. It's so flimsy even the DVD says you'll need a "sandbag" to anchor it if there is any wind (outdoor shots). Great idea, but wish they had a better stand to offer. The reflector looked good, but based on the quality of the stand I'd have concerns about the longevity of the zippers, too.


5 out of 5 stars Great Value and product   November 1, 2007

I would recommend this product to anyone who is serious about improving their photos. I take the majority of my portait photography outdoors in the early morning sun. The reflectors added and diffused light just where it was needed to make my portraits pop. The stand and arm were wonderful to have since I don't always have someone to help me. The only problem I had was it getting a little top heavy when the arm was fully extended to the side. So be sure you take a sand bag or something to stabilize the base. The DVD was helpful, wish it would have covered the reflectors in a little more detail. All in all a great value and great product.
