This collapsible reflector is a good tool for amateur photographers who want to start using light-control in their photos. It's not expensive or difficult to use, and it can be packed up into a very small compact bag for travel. It's surprisingly large, more than three feet across, but weighs almost nothing.

This reflector was not difficult to use, and I think it's a good tool for beginners, but I did have some issues with it. It is very large, but it's actually so big that you cannot hold it and take photos at the same time. It requires two hands, which is a problem for anyone who takes photos alone. It's also very creased and wrinkled when you take it out (because of the collapsible feature), which doesn't affect the reflecting but does look very unprofessional. You would not want to take this out for a paying job.

When testing this reflector, I didn't find it to be very strong on the white side. The difference in my photos was minimal with the white, but I found the silver side very helpful. It's durable, compact, and easy to use, making it a good learning tool for amateur photographers.

Do be careful when extracting it from the pouch as it doesn't have a tie on it, popped right out and smacked me in the nose.
