Review on πŸ“Έ Neewer Clamshell Light Reflector: 66x24 Inch Curved Eyelighter for Portrait Photography, with Carry Bag and 2M Light Stand - Black/White/Gold/Silver by Paula Ward

Works for the price

I received this product quickly from Revain. The entire stand and reflector were placed in a cylindrical bag, similar to a gym bag. The stand seems to be built a little better than the Revain Basics stands. There are two long curved sticks, two short sticks, a stand, a reflector base with Velcro, several reflectors. Then you can insert the curved rods into the slots of the stand. Then you have to insert the short rods from the shorter sides into the base sleeves of the reflector. This is where things get a little more complicated. The base of the reflector needs to be stretched a lot to fit the ends of the short rods properly into the slots in the long curved rods. I felt like I could break it every time I did this exercise. But the material seems durable (up to this point). If you don't stretch it enough, the short bars won't sit properly on the long, curved bars either. We recommend it for the price. If you don't disassemble it after each shoot, it's very easy to maintain.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
