works just fine

Works well, easy to set up and put away, overall exactly what I needed.

I take pictures of my products myself before listing them on my stores, and these were a game changer for me. The extra lighting they provide, in a non-harsh diffused manner, really upped the quality of my pictures. I love that they came with a little bracket that really just pops on one of my extra stands easily. If you don't have a stand, but have an extra person, they're easy to just hold as well.

I am very happy to have this light reflector. The price for it is incomparable; you get the adapter to mount it onto a tripod, which in this price range, you usually have to spend more to obtain. The reflector works great. I mostly use it for my product photography. The reflector also comes with a diffuser, which is handy to have. Overall, I am quite happy with this light reflector; it is big enough to cover the area I am shooting, and it also has the option of a light diffuser. I highly recommend it.

This is an excellent lighting modification kit with all the essentials. It performs well and provides all the functionality you'd expect from a similar kit. The kit also includes a robustly made, angled universal bracket that would retail for more than half the cost of this kit; it also comes with a cold shoe mount.The kit includes the following reflectors:1. Translucent (semi-transparent light diffuser that softens direct light)2. White (classic bounce or fill light)3. Silver reflector (reflects a broad spectrum of light with a central focus)4. Gold reflector (similar to silver but adds warmth)5. Black (absorbs light and controls unwanted bounce)Notable specs and features:- 43-inch / 110 cm 5-in-1 collapsible light reflectors- Effortlessly switch between silver, gold, white, black, and translucent panels.- Comfortable side handles provide a reliable grip.- The handles feature 1/4"-20 threaded holes for universal bracket compatibility.- The universal bracket allows for mounting on a light stand.- The cold shoe mount connects speedlights directly to the universal bracket.- Adjustable angles on the universal bracket facilitate optimal lighting setups.This versatile, compact set of collapsible reflectors provides all the essential lighting modification functionality at a reasonable cost and includes some helpful extras, such as the angled universal bracket, cold shoe mount, and a carrying pouch for portability. I heartily recommend it!

The 43 inch Light Reflector Kit by TENBEST was a GAME CHANGER for me this past weekend!This was the first time I ever used a light reflector and it saved me not only from having to change location but it saved me additional time by not having to use my c-stand and giant lantern and COB light.The gold reflector option did the trick for me so I could stay in my home office and get the phots I needed for a website.The adaptors to attach the reflector to the tripod was FANTASTIC! Others leave this out and require you to have another person there or buy the adaptors separately.One recomendation: watch a video before you try to fold it back up! It's not intuitive and if you don't do it the right way you could damage your equipment.I'd definatly recomend this to anyone considering getting a reflector... FYI You will want a tripod to use with this... I had several so it made this process so much easier!!

Harsh shadows in the sun – or in the ordinary evening room lighting – can ruin the picture; many times I have joggled a sheet of tracing paper trying to diffuse and soften the light, and these sheets are rather unwieldy…The kit here solves that unwieldiness – the frame holds whichever surface you choose in a firm circle 110 cm in diameter, so you can position it using only one hand; better yet, using the bracket and cold shoe mount you can affix the circle to a tripod, and use both your hands for further creativity.Speaking of the frame – there is warning that the reflector opens quickly and it should be held away from your face; take that warning seriously. I did expect it to pop up quickly – all similarly packed frames do – but I did not realize how big it was on the first opening. That said, similar frames that need to be twisted to be packed can be hard to coerce into their pouches – this one is a good one, not once I needed to let it reopen and start again.You can use one of five surfaces. The frame itself contains transparent diffuser (grown-up version of my tracing paper sheet), and then there is a cover that goes on top of it – one side is black and gold, the other is white and silver. You make sure the reflective surface you want is on the outer side and fit the frame in.The pictures show the object in full sun, the light diffused with the transparent sheet and the shadows broken up a bit with the silver reflector.Good selection, neatly packed, with appropriate hardware. Recommended!

This 5 in 1 reflector kit offers a good value for the money. It provides the end user with all the styles and functions of much more expensive units at half the cost. It even includes a heavy duty light stand attachment bracket. That really feels premium at this price point.Types of reflector:1 Semi transparent light defuser. This acts like a portable soft box. Without the means of light spill suppression.2 white bounce light: Offering the most defuse and natural light for fills and shadow suppression.3 silver reflector: Offering a longer range ( photons ) with a harsher reflection centre.4 gold reflector: Offering a longer range with a lovely golden hue. Perfect for adding warmth and vitality to a subject.5 black absorption: Offering negative fill ( effectively reducing light bounce ) offering a more dramatic look.The bracket:This kit offers a fully metallic light bracket. That would cost you 35$ just on it's own. It offers all the functionality one would expect. It also comes with a clamp bracket that works seamlessly with the light diffusion ring. Allowing you place the unit anywhere you see fit. Provided you have an extra stand lying around.The caveats:1 This light reflector kit, is one of those pop out styles. Witch offers great portability but comes at the cost of patience. It took me 40 tries to get the darn thing back into it's bag. There are many little nuances and tricks you need to perform in order to get it back into shape. Miss one step or fold it incorrectly and you need to start over.2 Each reflector is plagued with wrinkles that are always visible. When using the silver or gold reflector they can be a pain to mitigate in the shot. As you can see from the picture above there is a slight wavy pattern to the light bounce. It also can cast multi shadows when using small source lights such as the one shown.Final thoughts: 4.3 out of 5A good deal for the price. Offering the end user 90% of what they need from a reflector kit. With it's full metallic bracket plus it's 43 inch footprint. I would suggest strongly purchasing this product. If you are in the market for an easy to use less expensive alternative. This is the one for you!!!

I have used this kind of "Flex-Fill" for years. They provide unique lighting modifications at a very low cost, and this kit has some nice extras!First, the light discs themselves. I own a number of these, with the purchases going back years. This is the first time I have seen handles on the discs! Great idea! It makes holding them so easy, and most of the time, it's not me holding them, because I am on the camera. It's either some grip who I just enlisted or someone who I got to come along to help.The main disc is about 43" in diameter. This is a good size for many applications. Yes, you can get larger ones, but outside they can become much harder to hold up against even a light breeze. The translucent material is good for either shooting the light through (as in putting the disc between the sun and your subject) or as a reflector (bouncing light onto the surface of the disc and using the light being bounced back) The translucent fabric will not be bright as the white surface in the kit, but will provide some bounce. So, two uses for this one product so far.Also included in the kit, is a black/white/sliver/gold option "bag". This goes over the top of your white disc. When you are done, you have the same shape as your white disc, but now it's sliver or gold or black or white.Sliver gives you a "hard" bounce - it can create shadows, but it does kick back a lot of light.Gold gives you another "hard" bounce but with the advantage of a warmer light than the sliver. Depends on what you want. Some feel people shots work best with warmer light.White gives you a very soft bounce. Being a "flat" white, the light is very soft but it is also the weakest return of these bounce boards.Black is what's sometimes called "negative light". Put your subject near a north window light. Perhaps looking at the camera. If you place the sliver reflector just out of camera view, on the opposite side of the window, between your subject, you might find that you now have a 1:1 lighting ratio on the face. Each side is of equal brightness. Put the black side in the same position. The black is going to "absorb" the light from the window side, and the result will be much more dramatic. The face may now be almost without any light on it at all. So, the black side can be helpful to "remove" light and create more shadow areas.The kit also includes both a bracket mount and a small cold shoe mount. I would be careful using the bracket mount. The Reflectors are a odd shape and require a fair amount of support. If you are going to try using the bracket, make sure you purchase a heavy duty stand and a few sand bags, to make sure the entire structure stays where you put it. You don't want this to fall on someone! Although it's possible someone could get hurt, it will hurt your reputation a lot more! Always play is safe!Bottom Line - This is an excellent value for five different 43" diameter Reflectors, and a bag to store everything in! The material is a little bit light-weight from other units, but the cost of other units is far more than this! These light modifiers are almost used daily by crews because the products work great, are easy to set up and take down. And yes, they are tricky to fold up the first few times! Keep at it and you'll get it!

The first and foremost thing I have to say about this reflector is that the ring isn’t solid enough to support the weight properly. So if you try to mount this at an angle you will get a certain amount of sag. It doesn’t totally collapse or anything, but you can feel the stress. I wouldn’t trust it to hold together if you mount it in this way, there’s just too many points of failure with the fabric ring, the handle, the ¼” screw hole, etc. If the handles were made out of lightweight aluminum and the ¼” hole was drilled right into the metal, it would be more sturdy. The reflector also includes a fairly-adaptable mounting head with a ratcheted arm. You can use this to mount the reflector to either a ¼” or ⅜” tripod screw. For some reason there isn’t a 1-inch screw on the mount in order to use a mic stand or other 1-inch screw mount.

The 43-inch 5-in-1 Light Reflector Kit is a highly versatile and practical tool for photographers, whether working in a studio or on location. The 5-in-1 design offers five different surfaces—silver, gold, white, black, and translucent—allowing you to quickly switch between them to meet your lighting needs. The silver panel provides strong reflective light, gold adds warmth, white diffuses light, black blocks unwanted light, and the translucent option softens natural light.One of the best features of this kit is the inclusion of grip handles on the reflector. The handles make it much easier to hold and adjust the reflector during shoots, especially when working solo. Plus, with the 1/4”-20 threaded holes, you can attach the reflector to a light stand using the included universal bracket, freeing up your hands for other tasks. The cold shoe mount is a great addition for speedlight users, allowing you to attach a flash directly onto the bracket for enhanced control of your light setup.The universal bracket itself is adjustable, letting you easily position the reflector at the right angle to direct or diffuse light effectively on your subject. This is particularly useful for portrait or product photography where precise lighting is essential.When you’re done, the reflector collapses into a compact size and fits neatly into the carrying pouch, making it highly portable and convenient for travel. Whether you’re shooting outdoors or in a studio, this kit provides everything you need to control lighting efficiently.Overall, this reflector kit is ideal for photographers who need a portable, multi-functional lighting solution. Its ease of use, flexibility, and additional mounting options make it a valuable accessory for both professional and amateur photographers alike.
