Product Description
Photo Basics by Westcott's 40" 5-in-1 Reflector Kit is the fastest, most affordable way to achieve diffused or reflective light. Each kit contains a diffusion panel as well as a reversible slip cover with four sides: silver, gold, white and black. Use it outdoors or add to an existing studio set up for even more versatility and control. Frames are double-riveted to stand up to tough abuse while maintaining its shape and flexibility.

4 out of 5 stars Quality reflectors...poor stand (or should I say "boom")   August 31, 2008
These reflectors are VERY large and GREAT quality. They are worth the money...HOWEVER, the weight of the reflectors, when on the stand, make it top heavy. You'll have to anchor it with sand bags. Other than that, I am happy with my purchase. In my opinion, the reflectors alone are worth the money. the stand is okay... the "boom" is the issue. Additionally, the clips that hold the reflector on can be a REAL pain to get on. A diagram of how to put them on would have made life a LOT easier the first time. I am giving the 4 rating based on the size and quality of the reflectors.


5 out of 5 stars Best bang for your buck   August 12, 2008
This is quite a bargain. If you bought this separately it would end up costing you much more. End of story.
WARNING: You will need a sandbag or some type of weight on the base of the stand if you intend to extend the arm away from the stand itself.
WARNING: Inspect the zipper of your double sided cover. I had to go through two before I go one that wasn't all jacked up. Well worth it though.



5 out of 5 stars I am very pleased   June 9, 2008
I'm sure there are more sophisticated reflector sets out there, but for the money this one is great. I'm just starting photography, and this is a great option for someone that doesn't want to spend a lot of money just starting out. Some reviews mentioned that the stand turns over easily, the video that comes with it says to use weights when using outside. I just use bags of rice, cheap, handy, and easy. Some reviews also mentioned that the clips were broken when they received theirs, or they were hard to assemble. I didn't have any problems, just follow the instructions, and you'll have no problem.


4 out of 5 stars Got what I paid for   May 11, 2008
For the price I paid I was expecting something of very little quality. I needed something fast for a project and did not want to spend too much money. Easy and inexpensive setup, perfect price for the quality.


1 out of 5 stars Nice reflector kit, but cheap plastic clips   April 16, 2008
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Nice kit for reflection. It has everything I need. But the clips are plastics, that works very nice in other, but in mine, came broken. I don't have made contact with the manufacture yet.
