Worth the money you spend.

It does what I wanted to do, What more cane I ask for. Seems very durable, but I am not rough with my equipment.

5 in 1 necessity!

Ease of use and quality of product are great. Only thing is folding it back up to store in the included bag. But I'll figure it out.

Quality feel, great value for the price. Much easier to fold to smaller size and pack it back up than I thought.

Nice and Compact

I bought the 42? version of this reflector. It did it?s job as far as reflecting sunlight, but I found the handles a bit weak (they seemed to be on the verge of breaking whenever I had to twist and collapse it to put it away). I was at a desert shoot with strong winds, and it took two of us to hold it. Having said that, I love this 22? that is much smaller but still very capable. It fits easily into the laptop compartment of my backpack. I can fit it and my 22? or 32? silver/white reflector (no handles) into that compartment. At its smaller size, it works better for headshots than full body- either for reflecting sunlight as a key light or for holding under the model?s face to fill shadows with ambient or artificial light. I have not had a chance to test its wind resistance properties, but I believe that it?s smaller size would make it easier to grip. The handles seem sturdier than its 42? counterpart. I also like the 1/4-20 screw holes for other mounting possibilities.

This is the perfect reflector for my headshot sessions.

I?m kind of embarrassed to say I was not aware they made silver and white reflectors. I?ve been shooting for 5 years and just had the word 5 in 1 engrained in my head. This reflector is basically perfect for my work. Handles are great, and make it easy for on location headshot sessions. Build quality from Glow products has not disappointed yet. Plus, the price is absurd.

Glow reflector

My favorite reflector. It?s big enough to get natural light to bounce back on subjects entire body. It folds and becomes compact.

Loose handle but folds up easy

One of the Handles was not snapped tight. I think it will hold after using a clamp to seat it but I?m not sure. Only shoot I tied it on was cloudy where there wasn?t; enough light to see results. So not sure how good the reflected light will look yet.

Would recommend

My first reflector and this product does what it should. I am surprised at the amount of reflection, but then again this is my first experience and I don't truly know what to expect. Would recommend to a friend.... especially for the cost.

Use it handheld or on a ball head - surprisingly smart design

Very different lighting modifier. Just connect it to any 1/4? or 3/8? fitting, the threads are already tapped into the reflector?s handles! No costly unstable frames needed. If you are on the go use it handheld for perfect fill, highlight, or background accents. Even better use an inexpensive ball head mounted on one of your tripod legs to free up your hands so you can take pictures. Excellent product.

Great reflector for out doors

Great for outdoor reflector work, you dont have to fight with the wind as much as you would with a regular reflector. And it shines bright like a normal reflector even though its full of aerodynamic holes.

Inexpensive, but not CHEAP!

I still can't believe how inexpensive this reflector is. Quality and construction are excellent. Handles are a major PLUS. And the best part? when you master collapsing the reflector in a split-second as you impress your clients. And did I mention a great carrying case? I just did. ;)

This thing is YUGE

By Crystal R.

This reflector is YUGE yet easily concealed like our national debt

About 60% more wind resistant!

By Mark K.

The reflective surface of this reflector is 1/3 of a stop BETTER than my Sunbounce 32! And about 60% LESS prone to wind in my testing. And a hidden advantage as good as its wind resistance too! http://www.markkitaoka.com/latest-news/glow-collapsible-circular-wind-proof-reflector-with-handles/

Under the harsh glare of midday sun or in conditions where light needs a gentle diffusion, the 42" Glow Collapsible Circular Reflector with Handles emerges as an essential tool for photographers and videographers. This versatile light modifier is designed to soften and diffuse light, ensuring that your subjects are illuminated with a natural and flattering glow.

Crafted with a durable and flexible steel frame, this reflector is engineered for longevity and ease of use. It effortlessly collapses to a compact size, approximately one-third of its full diameter, making it incredibly convenient for on-location shoots and for photographers on the move.

The inclusion of two ergonomic handles provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise control of the reflection angle and intensity. This feature is particularly beneficial during solo shoots where one hand might be needed to operate the camera.

For added versatility, the reflector is equipped with two threaded sockets, sized 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16, making it compatible with a wide range of tripods and stands. This allows for hands-free operation and ensures that the reflector can be positioned at the optimal angle for any lighting scenario.

To protect your investment and to further enhance portability, the Glow Collapsible Circular Reflector comes with a zippered carry bag. This allows for easy storage and transport, ensuring that your reflector remains clean and undamaged between uses.

Whether you're dealing with challenging lighting conditions or simply looking to create a more controlled lighting environment, this translucent reflector is an indispensable accessory for achieving professional-quality results in photography and videography.
