Review on πŸ“Έ Enhanced Westcott Eyelighter 2: The Original Curved Reflector for Headshots and Portrait Photography by Mike Walters

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I like it, but I don't like it

I just bought an Eyelighter II. Three areas of feedback: 1. Difficulty getting the curved bar into the mount to screw on the grip. There is a significant gap. I think the hole that the screw goes in is either slightly off center or too small for the screw to go through. So there are almost no handles. (see photo #3 for reference) 2. I don't like that the fabric is not smooth. There isn't enough tension on the fabric to pull it tight enough to smooth it out, so it looks like it's going to stay that way. I took a test photo and I can see wrinkles in the highlights. Everything looks shaky. (See all other photos for reference. Sorry for the looks of the models. This was a test photo! lol!). 3. For wrinkled fabric I can't straighten and bolt I can't tighten, the cost doesn't match the quality received. To return! I will buy a cheaper model and hope for the best because I love headshot and beautyshot lighting.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
