MARVELOUS! Diffuser and reflectors work great!

I had the same 5-in-1 reflector a while ago, only it was smaller (43 inches) and round. I love it and use it all the time, but there have been many times I could use a little more and many times I needed a diffuser AND a reflector at the same time. I found these 5-in-1 reflectors to be good in that they have one downside: you can't use more than 1 reflector at a time. So if you're using one of the reflectors (gold/silver) you can't use a diffuser unless you have something to attach the fabric part of the reflector to, which I did to get the diffuser and reflector from mine to have little ones. When I saw that this one was more rectangular with rounded sides and much larger than my current one (40" x 60") I was excited to try it! It's the same as my little one but bigger. I knew the dimensions when I received it, but I was still surprised at how big it was when I saw it in person! It comes folded in a zip case. When you open the case and take it out be careful, it's really springy and you don't want to get slapped in the face! When it opens you will see the silver side and the black side. Open it up and you'll see white on the back of the silver, gold on the back of the black, and a white (clear) diffuser in the middle. If you want to use black or gold, just take it off the loop, flip it over and put it back on the loop. If you want to use a diffuser, just peel off the silver/black/white/gold finish. When you want to put it back in the case, just twist it like a figure of eight and it will fold back to fit in the case. can maneuver by holding it and take pictures), have someone help you by holding it, or attach it to a stand. I love that there is a loop attached to it so you can use it to attach it to the stand if you want. You can even use the clips to attach it to something (a stand or something nearby to hold it in place). The loop seems really strong. The fabric also seems very durable. It doesn't look like it will break easily. But you have to be careful when you pull it shut, because you don't want the fabric to get caught in the zipper and get damaged. The reflectors are very crumpled, but fortunately this does not affect the quality of the reflection. So it's really not a problem. Reflectors and diffuser work great! Overall I think it's great! You get 5 options (reflectors and diffuser), you get a housing and a tripod strap. It feels really solid and does exactly what you want it to! I'm so happy I have a big one for my little one! I definitely recommend it!
