Product Description
The Photo Basics 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector Kit is versatile in the field and in the studio, providing shadow-lightening detail in your subject, using available, or studio lighting. It contains a translucent white disc, which is perfect for softening direct sunlight, or lights without diffusion. Use the removable, reversible zippered slipcover to reflect light into shadow areas of your subject. The cover consists of the following colors: silver, gold, white and black. This 42" reflector is perfect for 3/4 length portraits, and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 its open size, and comes with a carry case. We suggest the purchase of a pivoting arm and stand, to hold the disc where needed -- especially if you are working without an assistant.

 Not as Advertised July 30, 2010

Like some others, the product that I received was not what was advertised. I received a no-name (Neweer???) 80 cm (31.5 inch) reflector instead of a Westcott Model 301 40 inch. It was a 5 in 1 reflector at least. The quality seems good enough, even if it is not what I was sold.
 Zippity No Brew Ha Ha Here July 28, 2010

Splendid diffuser. Those complaining about the zipper must strut around with their goods hanging out because this one operates no differently than the ones on the front of my pantaloons. Shoving the disc into the case & pressing said disc slightly into the bag takes some pressure off the zipper action which could cause Mr. Zip to close correctly. I've been shoving my goods into trousers for many years & maybe I'm better skilled having had more practice. If a zipper confuses you I suggest go back to using safety pins for all your securing needs.

The product I received was not what was advertised. The item I received was a generic brand 80cm (about 31") reflector, rather that the 40" Westcott model described. It does appear to be decently made and a good value for the price. The misleading and inaccurate description needs to be changed, however.
Update: The reflector I had purchased was being offered by a third party seller at that time. It now appears to be offered by Amazon itself, so the current item is probably the advertised 40" Westscott.
AWESOME! July 7, 2010

Great product for a great price.
I have it for about a year now and love it.
Highly recommended!
 Solid, tight, effective. Hard to compact for me. June 23, 2010

I recently got the 5 in 1 reflector and the unit was in a nice compact case. It was easy to open and it's a hoop that is twisted into a small diameter. To open you untwist it. It popped open into a nice full size reflector. As is it's a silver reflector on one side and black on the other. My problem is that I am having trouble twisting it back to its smaller size. (((( I don't want to put too much pressure because I feel I may bend the hoop. That's why I gave it 2 stars for ease of use. I may be the only one with this issue. :)) But it is very functional and a great price. (Now someone help me twist it back into compact size!)
