Review on Fotodiox 36"X48" 5-In-1 Collapsible Reflector Disc Pro Kit, With Telescopic Stand, Soft Silver/Gold/Black/White/Diffuser by Gordon Turman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

OK, but not great for my opinion

Just arrived. Not as good as I had hoped. Definitely the lowest quality stand I've ever owned. The one I received may be defective. The legs are way too difficult to open. Had to use the floor for leverage to peel them open, and they didn't want to move. (Yes, I unscrewed the lock screw before trying.) I will likely have to use one of my other light stands and only use the arm and reflector from this kit.The arm and angle bracket seem like they should be usable, but there are lots of plastic parts that feel like they could break. I'll have to be very careful with this. There was also a quarter sized area on the arm with no black paint on it, so I took a sharpie to try and cover it.In hindsight I'd probably have preferred just a white/silver reflector. I'll rarely if ever use the other reflectors included, so why carry the bulk?

Pros
  • great value for this size reflector! i am very happy with the purchase.
Cons
  • The collapsible design can be difficult to maneuver and fold back into its compact form
