I use this reflector arm for studio work and find that it allows me to put the reflector in the exact position that I need with easy. This arm has great flexibility in its use and appears well constructed in my use of it thus far.
I use this in conjuction with the Monte Illuminator as a fill source with a main light for my portrait sessions. If you work alone, as I do, it's wonderful for a fill that doesn't move once placed.
Although the materials and craftsmanship is good the design of the friction control handle in the dual ball pivot area is lacking. I broke the friction control handle the first and second time I used this product. [...]. I have replaced the plastic handle with a metal wing nut and tightened the pretension nut and bolt. I now have a reflector holder that works very well and at a great price. The holder works well with many different sized reflectors and acts as a one handhold grip when on location without an assistant or stand.
