Digital camera reviews of Westcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 Reflector
Digital camera Review: A workhorse! Great, but some flaws.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this with the light stand and reflector arm, so I will review all of them.
Reflector:
Good-Great and very usefull. I have put it to work in every single of my photo shoots.
Bad-The zipper. Worked great at first then after some use it would get caught on the lining almost tore it. Before I figures out a trick (I'll tell you in the following section) I could only zip it up part of the way.
Work-Around-If the zipper is giving you problems when you put the main piece into the reflector sleeve start pushing the main piece (diffuser) until it loses it's round shape. It makes it easier for the zipper to zip up.
Light Stand and Arm:
Good- They work well.
Bad- Plastic holders and segment screws are easy to break. YOU NEED A SAND BAG!!!!! (Unless you have an assistant with you or there is no wind)
Summary of Westcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 Reflector
The Photo Basics 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector Kit is versatile in the field and in the studio, providing shadow-lightening detail in your subject, using available, or studio lighting. It contains a translucent white disc, which is perfect for softening direct sunlight, or lights without diffusion. Use the removable, reversible zippered slipcover to reflect light into shadow areas of your subject. The cover consists of the following colors: silver, gold, white and black. This 42" reflector is perfect for 3/4 length portraits, and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 its open size, and comes with a carry case. We suggest the purchase of a pivoting arm and stand, to hold the disc where needed -- especially if you are working without an assistant.Lighting
