Review on πŸ“· Etekcity 24" (60cm) 5-in-1 Photography Reflector: Translucent, Silver, Gold, White, Black, Collapsible, with Bag by Sam Simone

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not 5 but 2 and half what is normally needed for a photo shoot

I ordered this reflector/diffuser expecting to receive a set of five discs with spring washers eh shown in the picture with the product. The storage bag contains a 4-sided case with a gold, silver, white and black side without a hard edge (spring ring) and a white diffuser with a snap ring. The problem is that if you make a natural diffuser and ricochet, you can attach a diffuser with clamps, but you can't lift a 4-sided sleeve because it doesn't have a hard edge, you have to hold it. Two sets are required to achieve the purpose of this particular installation. The photographer can also purchase a separate diffuser, reflector, and whiteboard for $0.99, which are cheaper and better finished. Also, the zipper on the sleeve got caught in the fabric around the diffuser ring; Experience tells me that tears will eventually come. I returned the 5 in 1 set to purchase individual items and cannot recommend this product based on its design. Storage bag aside, it seemed up to the task.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
