NEEWER 19.6 Inch/50 Centimeter Light Reflector Light Diffuser 5 in 1 Collapsible Multi Disc with Bag - Translucent, Silver, Gold, White, and Black for Studio Photography Lighting and Outdoor Lighting

These reflectors do the Job, but they do not spring out as tight as some that I have had in the past. They remain just a little bit crumpled. It hasnt caused me a problem with my photography, but they are not drum tight like other dearer brands. So, I guess you do get what you pay for. That said I would purchase again.

This was actually bought as a replacement for my old one of these.On the old one (which I heavily used for about 6 years) the zip finally gave way on outer bit and needed replacing.This is a great, reliable multi-use tool. I think throughout my old ones life, I used every side of it for one thing or another. It’s nice to have the option of silver and white to change the intensity of your reflected light. The gold is probably the least useful side, and the black can be handy from time to time. The translucent part I also didn’t overly use, but it has been handy on a few occasions.Two ways they could improve this: put the white and silver on the same sides. Firstly, I typically get out the white first and if I decide ‘actually, I need something more intense’ it’s a few minutes of song and dance to take the sleeve off, turn it over, and put the silver on. And visa versa. If they were just on opposite sides I could flip it over no problems and switch between the two very easily rather than slow down my shoot while that switch is made. It’s a small thing but would make a difference I feel. Black and gold as I mentioned are the two less useful colours available.Secondly, make the carry case better quality. That thing normally rips and dies very quickly in my experience. The zip is awful and the bag is just poor quality. This thing is useless without a bag to ‘contain’ it. No fun driving home with this reflector fully deployed in the car because the bag broke.

Versatile and does the job. I recently used a Manfrotto diffuser with a handle which I could control more easily with one hand but it's a lot more expensive.

Should have looked at the size as I needed it for further away and bigger pictures, but can imagine they are good for close ups and product photography

I'm an amateur photog, only self taught and I've never had a reflector before. I must say I'm glad I read reviews. This size seems quite large if you've never had one, but I think it's fantastic! You really need that extra coverage when shooting anything that isn't a product shot in a studio. The diffuser did well with a mock newborn setup (I used a baby doll on a beanbag) & some direct window light. If it were any smaller, I would have had bright light around the edges of the beanbag (probably only 4 or 5 cu ft).I'm satisfied with the build quality. I can't imagine anything being much more substantial. When I zip the cover over the diffuser it's a tight fit, but that should be expected. You don't want a floppy reflector. You can shimmy the diffuser down the cover a bit and it makes it easier to zip.I've found the diffuser on its own is hard to collapse, but once I put the cover on, it's easy to fit back into the original bag.Really for the price, you can't beat this deal. Treat your products well and they should outlast their expected expiration date.

This has been very useful item, and while it is small, and hence won't provide very good coverage, it's good enough for reflecting light onto one person or object, or two people posing very close to each other. Having tried this as my first reflector, now that I can see what useful pieces of kit they are, I'm probably going to buy a much larger diameter one too. The translucent part could be a little thicker, to better diffuse a flash, but this isn't a big deal, and might not be a problem at all if you had a flash with one of those little built-in plastic diffusers (I'm using an old, totally manual Vivitar that doesn't even bounce - and yes, I know this is silly, since a Yongnuo would cost next to nothing and would be miles better!). I especially love the gold reflector for giving a nice warm and healthy looking glow to the subject's skin in low kelvin light. This is very reasonably priced, and has been very durable - I've had it for about 9 months, using it just a few times a month, but I'd say I've already gotten enough value out of it.

As a portable 5-in-1 reflector kit it works as described. The base unit is the diffuser and the covers provide the different reflectors.The downside is the quality is not as high as other brands and I doubt it will last so long, the carry bag especially is weak and looks like it will fail with any hard use.

Very good product for the price. Easy to use, more like 3 in 1. I've bought products from Neewer before and I have to say they are pretty damn good. I'm happy with it. I see a lot of people saying it's hard to hold it back but it's not . Just try fold in the shape of number 8 . That's how I do it.
