The reflector from K&F is a compact, foldable reflector that can be used in 5 different ways by turning the cover or without a cover at all.
The silver and black sides are together here, if you then turn the cover, the other side is gold and white. Without a cover, you can use the frame as a semi-transparent softbox.
It is very easy to use and you can easily pull the cover to the other side using the zipper. There is also a small loop that you can use to attach the reflector somewhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the reflector back into the bag, but it works well and you can store the reflector in a very space-saving way.
Unfortunately, the gold and silver sides are not as smooth as expected and the folding in particular causes the sides to get quite wrinkled. This is particularly noticeable with silver and gold, so far it hasn't been a big problem for me but you should know that you are buying a very cheap product.
All in all, the reflector is absolutely fine for the price and worth the money.

The reflector set is delivered in a simple plastic bag together with a multilingual leaflet that serves as instructions. The reflector itself is packed in a space-saving zippered cover.
The individual reflector covers have a zipper and are therefore easy to change. Personally, I just don't like the combination of colors that much. I like to work with a reflector that has gold on one side and silver on the other. That is not possible with this set, as the starting combination here is silver and black. To use the gold-colored side, you have to turn the cover over, then one side is gold and the other side is white.
In terms of workmanship, I would say you get what you pay for. Especially with silver and gold, you can see quite a lot of wrinkles, which can also be noticeable when lighting. I have had reflectors that were not so sensitive, i.e. had so many wrinkles after unpacking, but of course they were also a lot more expensive. Another nice feature is the loop with which you can secure and hang the reflector.

Well, the truth is that there is not much to explain about this 5-in-1 reflector because it is not something innovative nor does it include anything substantially different from any other. If anything, it takes up very little space and weighs very little, so you can take it with you even as a "just in case" situation. The 80cm size is ideal for carrying and bringing, and for small scenes such as still lifes or for portraits and close-ups.
It has several interchangeable surfaces: gold, silver, white, black and translucent, which allows you to configure the light according to the needs of each shot. For example, the gold option is great for enhancing warm tones in the skin, while the silver one provides a cooler light to adjust the tone. The translucent material acts as a diffuser and you can even use it as an emergency solution to tone down any light that may be bothersome.
