Perfect for my need

This is just the right size for use in my studio, since the ceilings are only 8'. A more square shaped reflector is more beneficial when used this way. Although it has handles, it is mostly being used in a reflector support stand. I just wish that the black and white colors were both on the outside, and the silver and gold were the inside colors, since I rarely use silver and gold. It would reduce the number of times that I have to change the outer cover.

Pros
  • Good price and get the job done .
Cons
  • Prone to denting

Weak Handle - my new review

The reflector materials seem like what you'd expect. Functional.But BEWARE THE WEAK HANDLEIt'll be all folded up and nice for shipping. Mine surprised me with the amount of force it releases when it springs open. It wacked me in the nose and the cheap plastic handle cracked in a few places. It's still usable. But the comfort of a functioning handle is gone.

Pros
  • Wish the handle was a little more sturdy, but the product works
Cons
  • You get what you pay for, they work great and I love how reversible it is.

this worked great! good foam handles

got the 48x72 because my old 43 inch was too small for multiple people and vertical shots. this worked great! good foam handles, probably to address the broken plastic handles in some of the reviews.great diffuser and really bright reflector. a bit tricky to fold up so make sure you practice before your event/shoot because you dont wanna look like a fool while figuring out!

Pros
  • Great for reflecting the suns harmful light right back at that butthead
Cons
  • Handle design makes it difficult to grip for extended periods of time

Worth the price! best in my review

Love how the diffuser is triangle shaped and with a good handle. Easy to work with. Wish it was a little tighter with material but it’s great for the price. Works well. Comes with all 5-in-1.

Pros
  • Helps to create a more professional-looking finished product
Cons
  • Limited flexibility in positioning due to attached handle

The reflector itself is great and I use it for portrait shots with natural lighting. The case is however complete and utter crap- I busted the zipper upon removing the reflector for the very first time.

Pros
  • Portable -- Folded Size Only 16in, With a Portable Case, Suitable for Travel or Storage. Suitable for Outdoor Photography Activities.
Cons
  • Color options may not be true to their advertised hues in certain lighting conditions

Great product, but the zipper on bag broke immediately

Would love a replacement carry bag for this reflector, if possible. It's a good quality reflector with great handles, but it becomes much more of a hassle to transport when the bag is no longer functional.

Pros
  • Ideal for both amateur and professional photographers
Cons
  • Limited flexibility in shape due to oval shape

blinded by the light

this thing is huge.but it does the job. my assistant(s) are earning their pay lugging this thing around. handles are a nice addition and product seems solid. the case is a little flimsy and i'm sure the zipper will break over time. also took a while to figure out how to fold it up. even watched youtube vids in slow motion and still took about 20 minutes ;)

Pros
  • Provides excellent lighting for both studio and outdoor photography
Cons
  • May not be effective for close-up and macro photography

Wonderful Product in my review

I love this product, I use it all the time… I cannot fold this product to save my life though. Folding this product is the bane of my existence. But once it is folded in stores great! I keep it in the back of my car so that I can pull it out during shoots! Like I said if you know how to fold them awesome, you're hired, Otherwise get ready to struggle! But it still worth it, so get it.

Pros
  • Product exceeded expectations. Fast response to order.
Cons
  • Handle may get in the way of capturing certain angles

Worth the buy for my opinion

Overall good product, mine just came stained. It still does the job, but it is disappointing. So far I've not been successful in removing it.

Pros
  • Multi-function -- 4 Color Cover and Translucent Panel Fit to Different Needs of Photography. Helping You Increase Your Photography Creation Efficiency.
Cons
  • Handle may snap off due to wear and tear over time

Works great in my review

I love this. Bigger than the 24” circle I used to use. Easy to fold and shove back into its case. Love the handles. Great value for money. I use on photo and music video shoots every time.

Pros
  • Can be used with natural or artificial light sources
Cons
  • May not be effective for capturing fine details

Size is Measured Diagonally

I wasn't sure if the 32 inches was measured across the bottom or if it was measured diagonally. Ordered it. the measurement is diagonal which made the reflector much smaller that I need, so I returned it.

Pros
  • Producto viene con una mancha pero viene en buenas condiciones
Cons
  • EXTREMELY DIFFUCLT to FOLD BACK UP . Can't get it folded back up small.

Not really white but has flexible uses

The handles are great. The white is really pale grey-blue. Very solid wrinkles that don't fall out. Probably just won't work for what I want because it will be seen in the video. I just wanted something like a white reflective wall. Probably if you want silver or gold or slighting glossy black it's great.

Pros
  • Cost-effective alternative to expensive lighting equipment
Cons
  • May not be effective for still life photography

Dirty and Scuffed Up

Not sure why, but can't seem to get a white refractor without black scuff marks.This one was no exception. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Good product.
Cons
  • Heavy to carry around for outdoor shoots

Handle snapped within three photoshoots

The idea is great and it’s fun to be able to reflect with one hand but the sturdiness just isn’t there, it flops around now which defeats the point of having a handle

Pros
  • Great product. Reflectors are large. Not easy to fold.
Cons
  • Size might be too big for some photography applications

Selens 5-in-1-32x48 inch oval reflector

I would give them five star but after 3-4 tries a piece of plastic from the handle broke off still usable The reflector is good material I still like it

Pros
  • Helps to create a more flattering light on models and subjects
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of flashes and strobes

BUY IT! on my review.

This has made my music videos 1000x better! It is so cheap but the quality is amazing and each filter makes a huge difference! My clients love it and I love it ! Definitely buy this ! You will NOT regret it!

Pros
  • Complex to fold up but strong and seemingly effective
Cons
  • Flimsy structure that could break easily

The handles. Enough said.

The handles on these reflectors change the game. If I need to one-handed shoot and hold one of these at the same time I can easy angle it the way I need to!As for folding these bad boys back up. This system is never easy for me lol. I can never get these spring loaded things back into their tight form 😂

Pros
  • Allows for more creative control over lighting
Cons
  • May not be effective for capturing moving subjects

Works great. best in my review

I purchased this 40 in square reflector and it works great. I love the handles and the 1/4th in screw hole. Purchasing this reflector showed me that I need a boom arm / reflector holder.I definitely recommend this, only thing. I'm thinking maybe I needed a bigger one. Also, I'm thinking it would be agreat idea if there was somehow a mix between the silver / gold. I find the gold side tends to be a little too warm at moments.

Pros
  • Easy to fold and pack away for transport
Cons
  • Handle length may not be adjustable for comfortable use

such a good bang for your 20 bucks

I just ordered my second one of these after having the first for a year now. The first one is still doing great; I just want a second one. This seems to be the only square reflector/diffuser on the market right now and I don't understand why! It sits on the windowsill so nicely, and is easy to clamp onto a c-stand arm. I use it during every shoot.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with other photography equipment

It takes practice to fold.

I took the advice of a previous comment and watched YouTube videos to learn to fold the reflector. It is kind of tricky but once you figure it out you will love the convenience of the large reflector. This reflector is very well made and seems very durable. I can't wait to use it while taking outdoor portraits.

Pros
  • Compatible with a range of lighting setups
Cons
  • Reflective surface may produce unwanted reflections in glasses and other reflective surfaces
