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

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.

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.

I am really pleased with this purchase. The reflector handles and the wind proof feature make it an excellent choice for the outdoor use.

Haven't used it yet but will change my ratings once I use the product. So far it looks sturdy and I like the handles.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

A great addition to the kit. It also has tripod mount points to easily install on a stand which makes it extra convenient

I like the new handles that the unit has .The handles make it more easier to use. The folding makes it easier to store in my bag.

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/
Shoot the Breeze!
Introducing the best solution for conquering the light on a windy day!
Outdoor reflectors harness the power of sunlight to add the right touch of fill to modify an otherwise high contrast lit subject. However, along with the great outdoors and the abundance of sunlight, comes the challenge of breezes and wind. A waft of air can ruin the most carefully placed position.
The Glow 42" Collapsible Circular Wind Proof Reflector with Handles is the world's first wind resistant reflector with the Glow advantage. We took the naturally reflective properties of aluminum fabrics, spun in a weave pattern that allows the offending breezes to pass through, while the light is captured and reflected off of its randomized serrated metallic surface. The forces of the airstream are not diverted around the disc but waft between the openings. The results? An exclusive wind taming version of the all-important disk reflector for outdoor use - even in a gale.
The patent-pending Glow Collapsible Circular Wind Proof Reflector adds the right touch of reflected bounce light while allowing the airy breeze a pass through the disk. The serrated fabric act as a sieve to let air to pass through unlike the stiff resistance that solid disks pose. Instead of acting like a sail, resisting the force of oncoming gusts, the unique design of the reflector reduces wind resistance while providing a significant fill. Even if you are satisfied with your current silver reflector and it's wind issues, this model results in a much smoother, less harsh effect on your subject. While it is not as mirrorlike as a traditional collapsible reflector, it delivers the light without being overwhelming.
This 42" size is ideal for figure subjects and where size is not a restriction. The moderate disk has great light gathering properties. Each reflector in the series has the ability to serve different photo situations and because of the diameter and placement issues, several reflector sizes are a photographer's wise investment.
