It's got more than you'll probably need at less than you'd expect to pay. Seems reliable so far. Folds up easily enough but a little care is necessary with the zippers. Nothing surprising there I'd say.

Purchased for Wedding Shoot on Beach. Worked Great!!. Easy to change from one color to another, Large enough to effect two-four people reducing glare, shadows or adding a glow and fill. Fits nicely in case and easy to transport. Used black as base for shots of rings and flowers.

Very easy to use. Large enough to lay flat and lift one side to use as seamless backdrop for macro shots.

I was planning to do some outdoor shots of my kids as portraits for a Christmas gift for their grandparents. I had flash combinations available, but wasn't sure exactly where we would be shooting and what the weather would be like - I saw this and it seemed like the ticket. I actually considered the 5-in-1, but for the additional few bucks, I thought the green and blue screens looked like they had some fun possibilities for Photoshopping different backgrounds into photos. When it arrived, my wife rolled her eyes - another silly gadget! She was perhaps the most impressed by how well it worked. The gold screen, in particular, provided some nice warm lighting. I had to knock off 1 star because the diffuser screen seemed to have some spots on it - nothing serious, but it was probably an issue during manufacturing. It folds up nicely, but is still far from compact so it's probably not a great solution for travel use - the smaller ones (maybe 22 inches) might work for that, but they will probably only work for smaller subjects (i.e. faces, not full length). Studio users will probably use a more permanent solution. Also - it helps to have a second person around to hold the thing, unless you have a light stand. All-in-all, it seems to do what it is designed to do and at a decent price point. BTW - this thing must have made me look like a professional because we had an audience of onlookers watching me take photos of my kids. It was rather amusing!
