Not very useful or durable

I'm giving this thing two stars because it actually worked, but I really, really didn't like working with it. Some of the big problems: 1. Lots of plastic. Not a solid construction at all.2. Slight play between clips and rod. If you try to attach something hard like a sheet of Styrofoam you will find it very difficult to keep it from cutting into the various knobs and mounts on the handlebar itself. Using a fabric reflector is easier to manage as the reflector can flex over the obstacles, but this is still an issue.3. The bracket _barely_ fits the 5/8" stud. I had to rock it back and forth a lot to put it on and take it off. 4. Awkward to use with one handle. Stand up and lower it, you can die Don't place bracket in the middle of the bracket, it needs to be at one of the ends with the reflector sticking out or else the reflector will collide with This is more of a problem for this class of product than this particular model, but more on that to remember. As an alternative I recommend two things Reflectors you can use: https://smile.amazon.com/Neewer-inches-Reflector-Silver-Photography/dp/B076VYRHQY/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524612961&sr=sr -1&keywords=flag+panel&dpID=51xwyYJA % 252BBL&preST =_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch For use with a regular light stand I recommend these tent reflectors: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PIDCITU/ref=oh_aui _search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc= 1
