Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Westcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 Reflector
Customer Review: Zippity No Brew Ha Ha Here
Summary: 5 Stars
Splendid diffuser. Those complaining about the zipper must strut around with their goods hanging out because this one operates no differently than the ones on the front of my pantaloons. Shoving the disc into the case & pressing said disc slightly into the bag takes some pressure off the zipper action which could cause Mr. Zip to close correctly. I've been shoving my goods into trousers for many years & maybe I'm better skilled having had more practice. If a zipper confuses you I suggest go back to using safety pins for all your securing needs.Customer Review: might be worth spending a little more money....
Summary: 1 Stars
At first this reflector looked great, but after my very FIRST shoot with it, the zipper handle on the reversible flaps broke after the very first use, and the very next time I zipped it up again the entire zipper mechanism broke off, sealing it closed. I am very disappointed with it. Granted it was an inexpensive reflector, I would have to say it would probably be worth spending a little more money and getting something better. Other than the shoddy construction it does a good job at bouncing light. still, think about it.Customer Review: Not what was advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
The product I received was not what was advertised. The item I received was a generic brand 80cm (about 31") reflector, rather that the 40" Westcott model described. It does appear to be decently made and a good value for the price. The misleading and inaccurate description needs to be changed, however.
Update: The reflector I had purchased was being offered by a third party seller at that time. It now appears to be offered by Amazon itself, so the current item is probably the advertised 40" Westscott.
Customer Review: Well worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this reflector set for about a week now ... and I was surprised at the quality for $30. You get Flat Black, Bounce White, Gold & Silver and even a White Diffuser that really softens the light. The reflectors fold up easily to a very compact size (about 14" diameter). The bag has a decent, quality zipper to hold it all together. The set is also lightweight making it perfect for those outdoor treks as well as in the studio. As always, shipping and customer service was as expected from Amazon ... awesome!Customer Review: Just what I needed.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been looking to purchase just a basic reflector and then found this one. For a 40" 5 in 1, the price was unbelievable! When I started using it, I love it. Its easy to fold back up and store. The only issue is trying to zip the cover on when you are changing it around. You have to push the frame in a little or the zipper snags. Once I figured this out, no worries! If you want to get the most bang for your buck, look no further. I've already told my other photog friends to check out Amazon.
