Comments about Lastolite Lastolite 8-in-1 Tri Flip Refelector kit with Tri Grip:

I use it for portraits both outdoors and indoors (I only use one light source in the studio and bounce it of the reflector). There is a great range of covers that come with it and they include all that I will ever need. It's very easy to fold once you check out the video of how to do it on youtube. It's very well made and looks durable. It's very easy to use, but I still need an assistant to hold it. Maybe with a bit of practice I could hold it myself, but my camera is a bit too heavy for me to hold in just one hand. One person is able to change the covers with a bit of practice. Overall I am really happy that I got this reflector, I think it's definitely worth the money I paid for it as I am sure I will use it for many years.

Comments about Lastolite Lastolite 8-in-1 Tri Flip Refelector kit with Tri Grip:

Like the variety in the 8 in 1 pkg. All work well and easy to hold with the provided grip. Takes a little trial & error to get used to folding back up. Once get hang of it, no problems.

Comments about Lastolite Lastolite 8-in-1 Tri Flip Refelector kit with Tri Grip:

This is a great tool for portrait work, with one or two people. The modular design enables one compact package to provide a range of reflector surfaces, as well as diffusion, and black flag. The design makes it much easier to handle, especially if you are shooting on your own, as the structure stays rigid allowing for more precise positioning. The reflector is quickly setup and packed down after viewing the instructions. The Lastolite website has videos which make this process clear. It is recommended viewing

Comments about Lastolite Lastolite 8-in-1 Tri Flip Refelector kit with Tri Grip:

I've only done a few shoots using the Lastolite TriFlips, and so far I've only used the "sunfire" and silver reflecting surfaces, and the diffuser. The reflectors slip on over the diffuser and can be folded up easily together -- however, the included carrying pouch is too small to hold it like that.

As for the performance, I've used it to enhance shadowy detail that otherwise would have been lost. It also helps to soften the overall look, so it's great for portraits! I prefer to use natural lighting whenever possible, and this definitely helps.

The design is very good, as is construction. The only thing lacking is the size of the carrying pouch. :-(

Comments about Lastolite Lastolite 8-in-1 Tri Flip Refelector kit with Tri Grip:

After attending a workshop with Joe McNally I came back and ordered two of these. The versatile, light weight, and easy to handle units are a must. The 8 surfaces give you a wide set of tools to control your light. I find the diffusion fabric to be soft yet snappy, and works wonderful as a one light diffused source for portraits.
