K&F Concept Light Reflector with Grips, 32"(80cm) 5-in-1 Photography Diffuser Collapsible Portable with Grips for Studio and Outdoor Lighting Gold Silver White Black Translucent

I've been using this reflector for several months now, and it has been great. The 5-in-1 feature means I don't have to carry around a bunch of reflectors. It packs away to a fourth of its open size and it's light. I clip this on my pack when I'm out getting portraits on the beach, and I barely notice it coming along. It has two handles, making it much easier to hold. The colors are rich, and the diffuser works really nicely. Don't pass this up; at this price point, it's a steal!

Works like any other reflector. I don't have any other reflectors with handles. This one will be great for when someone is holding it. Material gives nice, even diffusion.

I'll be honest, I haven't used a set of reflectors before, and have minimal experience using diffusers and umbrellas on external flashes.

However, I did order the 32" size of these reflectors to be able to fold up and take when travel and doing location shoots. Or just doing some flower or other photography and wanting to alter the light source a bit. These K&F Concept reflectors seems like they will do just fine.

I will say the two handles is nice, opening up and folding up are very easy as a result. It can also be held one-handed no problem. The width of the reflector is 32" at the handles, and 30-31" perpendicular to the handles. It folds up nice and small and the little hoop on the storage bag makes it great for travel. It's right around 11" in the bag.

I cannot speak to the "shininess" that others have spoken too. It doesn't appear exceptionally shiny to me, but I will have to keep an eye out as I shoot with it more.

Lot's of options at this price point, K&F Concept seems to be a newer manufacturer trying to make a go of entry level photography equipment. So far I've been pleased with this.

This diffuser/reflector/backdrop is a pretty nice tool to have in your kit for photo or video shoots. The version I have is 43" in diameter but collapses to 15-1/2" when folded and in the included zippered case. It is a translucent white diffuser but you can also put a reversible zippered cover on it to turn it into a black flag, or a white, gold, or silver reflector.

I really like the 2 plastic handles that are part of the frame (see photo). It makes this reflector easier to handle if, for example, you have an assistant hold it while you take photos or video. I have other brand reflectors that are about the same size that didn't have the handles and I definitely think having handles is better. The handles also serve as a good reminder of where to put your hands to collapse this reflector for storage. Speaking of collapsing it, you can collapse and store it with the reflector cover on the frame; you don't have to take it off first.

All in all I like this reflector/diffuser. The only question I have is how well the zippers on the case and cover will hold up over time as they seem pretty lightweight and of lesser quality than other similar products.

I have bought many products over the last few years from K&F and they've all been pretty good value for the money. A comparable 5 in 1 reflector/diffusor from other manufacturers can cost 2 or 3 times what K&F is charging for this one.

The K&F Concept 5-in-1 Reflector is a cleverly designed and multipurpose accessory that is lightweight, convenient and portable. Reflectors are a fundamental tool in the image maker’s kit. In this case, you have five, but carry one.

When I first saw it, I wondered how K&F Concept was going to supply five separate, unique reflectors; a diffuser and four colored ones. So, what’s the trick?

As I already mentioned, its cleverly done. The collapsable, folding inner frame is the diffuser. Zipped around it is an opaque, reversible cover, the four surfaces of which make up the silver, gold, white and black reflectors. I understand that black is not meant to be reflective, but in this case, it has enough sheen that it’s not going to photograph pure black. If pure black is desired, then cut out a piece of black velvet that can be clipped onto the frame of the K&F Reflector. Otherwise, the black surface can be used, for example, placed over the subject while blocking the sun, putting the subject in shadow and giving a rim highlight to the hair with a blown-out background. Like on a beach.

The framed diffusion is useful outdoors between subject and sun, and in the studio, as a main light source with artificial lighting coming through it. The reflective surfaces are, of course, useful in any environment for controlling and projecting light, whether natural or artificial. And the black surface is useful for subtracting light, creating more contour or more dramatic shadow on a subject. Applications for the K&F Concept 5-in-1 Reflector are limitless.

The photographer/videographer’s medium is light, and controlling light to whatever extent is possible in a given environment is an essential skill for professional results. The K&F Concept 5-in-1 reflector is not only portable, lightweight and durable, but provides a convenient means of manipulating whatever light source is in use, outdoors or indoors, and will enhance any photographer’s kit. The reflector is supplied with a handy, zippered storage/carrying case.

This comes as two pieces -- the circular hoop with white material stretched across it, and a sleeve that fits over the hoop. This sleeve has two pieces, and each piece has two sides -- so you get four different surfaces that can be exposed -- gold, silver, black and (off?) white. The only note of caution is that the handles seem to "click" when you are folding it up to go in the carry case. I hope that it isn't the plastic cracking.

I've bought a bunch of stuff from K&F Concepts in the past -- mostly filters and lens adapters -- and their stuff appears to be good for the price.

This is a great value large reflector and its very clever that the internals unzip/reverse to provide the five different colour/reflector options.

In its carry bag its only around 30cm across and it is very light weight. I have a couple of reflector umbrellas and while they have their place the small size of this means it fits in my camera bag easily so its not like I'm having to carry extra stuff or pack it especially.

It has took a couple of attempts to fold up each time I've gone to put it away but thankfully it does have a little leaflet inside the bag which tells you how to twist it to pack it away. It is dead simple its just one of those things that you can forget or get wrong. - I had a pop up tent once and I still get flashbacks of struggling to pack that away.

But this all works really well, it feels well made and the price it good. Five stars.

Of course, you already new that if you are considering them so, in a nutshell.

I have yet to be disappointed with K&F Concept, I have a range of there items and they always meet expectations, this is no exception.
Whilst small when folded -see photo for comparison- the reflector opens up not 80cm which I think is the sweet spot when shooting out and about, large enough to be of use whilst not too big as to be cumbersome. (Unless it is windy)
Whilst this is a single panel it utilises a zipper around the edge to allow it to be used to createv5 different light effects covering pretty much every use case you may require.

And of course it is just as useful in the studio as out!

Folding is a relatively simple matter of twisting and forming a circle then placing back in the bag, if it is your first time it may be a little frustrating but you soon get the hang of it, if you have a drone landing mat you will feel immediately at home ;)

A definite recommend.

Used it while photographing senior pictures at the beach. Worked well

My reflector got damaged and I got this to replace it last minute. I use this all day and it worked perfectly, I don’t regret buying it.
