Love this reflector! Terrific quality and the handle makes it so much easier to handle if I am shooting alone without an assistant. And it folds up for easy storage and packing.

Great tool if you use natural light and need a lighting boost or to decrease heavy shadowing on faces. The handle makes it much easier to manipulate. Little awkward at first but just practice a little and enjoy the difference it makes in your images.

This is a sturdy reflector versus getting a disc version.

It's great stuff until you collapse it and the handle falls off. At that point you have a reflector or a diffuser without a handle. It still works, but a standard round substitute for it works even better.

The reflector is very handy and effective in reflecting light. It's a little difficult to get it to collapse.

It's a bit heavier than I expected so it's a little awkward, but it feels very sturdy. I love the way it wraps around my hand. It's a great way to use a reflector when you don't have someone to hold it for you.

This is the best reflector I have used for outdoor shoots and even for one-handed use. Try that with a regular circular reflector on a windy day. It is very light weight and easy to hold. I like the secure grip with the hand strap. This is a tough, well designed piece of gear that lets you get the desired lighting effect quickly. I will be getting more of these for other light effects like double fill, diffusion, blocking and warming. Folds up quickly into it's own carrying pouch.

I found out about this reflector from another photographer. It works awesome. Highly recommended.

Used the reflector for a few sessions. Then the handle went snap and popped off the thing. It's still usable, but not what I bought. Lastolite won't even answer my complaint.

I bougth this and it's a great tool to have. I like it so much I am getting another. My assistant love it too.

This is a good product. Light, easy to handle and reflects good quality light.

I have a few Tri Grips. For diffusion this is the one you want. The 48 inch is large enough to soften all the sunlight hitting a portrait subject. One stop diffusion seems to be the sweet spot…providing noticeable softening but not eliminating shadows all together. At 4 ft across it is a little bit bendy / flappy in the wind and takes two hands. I have the smaller size in the reflectors - they are indispensable. The Tri Grips are very portable, fold up nice and travel easy.

Two stops of diffusion is about right in bright sunlight, and 48" is enough surface to do a really good job of spreading the softened light, even if you can't get the diffuser really, really close to your subject. Of course you can do the same thing with a big pillowcase or a bedsheet. But have you ever tried holding a bedsheet extended to 48"? The TriGrip's handle really helps. And, once you learn to do it, collapsing the diffuser to a fraction of its size so you can stuff it back into its case is a cinch. Doesn't get much better than this.

I love this thing. It huge and it's awesome (something no woman has ever said to me) and everything I'd hoped for.

Picked this up after seeing a few pros use it. Good general size and ability to use it one handed is awesome. Travels easily. Got this one over other models as I can use it as a diffuser or a reflector/bounce outdoors or with a flash which makes it more versatile. Very easy to clamp to whatever.

Wish I'd gotten the white instead of the silver.

Tricky, but ingenious folding up. Important to fold up to store, not tear, and not get dirty. Remember it's only big enough for one or at most two faces. Not a fault, it's just the nature of light.

I bought this a while back, and have used it many times, from bouncing light outdoors to bouncing flash indoors.

So I just received this in the mail- haven't even used it! and the metal wiring inside of it is all bent up making it VERY difficult to fold correctly! This is the second lastolite trigrip diffuser that this has happened to me with! My last one- the client spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to fold it (I had even told him not to worry about it, but was persistent). Products like this should not be considered professional grade.

I love my Tri-Grip reflectors. I have the Tri-Flip kit as well and use the different sleeves all the time for the color and reflective quality I'm looking for in a shot. These are indispensable tools and will set your photography apart from the rest if you use them to your advantage.

I have only had it a couple weeks and can't give a fair review until I have played more with it! No big complaints yet! :)

A great reflector, very well built, nice handle makes it easy to hold without an assistant. I have a lot of Lastolite products, they are all top quality, you wont go wrong with this trigrip.

Great reflector. Very easy hand held by an assistant or the photographer their self. You can also easily clamp this item to a tripod if needed.

Diffuses harsh sunlight at a wide and even perspective. Softens stobe for creative affect on the subject. I own several Lastolite products, including multiple Tri Grips in various sizes. Products are durable and easily folded for compact storage or trasportation to location site.
