Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Westcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 Reflector
Customer Review: PIECE OF JUNK!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this knowing people had complained about the zipper being difficult to use. And while it was a little tough to get zipped the first and second time, it was impossible to zip the third time when the zipper completely broke off! I am highly disappointed and Amazon gave me a $15 credit to over night a new one for my session in 2 days but unfortunately didn't mention that it is impossible to over night this reflector or any other reflector! Highly disappointed in the manufacturer AND Amazon!Customer Review: Does what it should
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a reflector. If you're familiar with them you know how useful they are, if you aren't familiar you want one. Consider having an assistant to hold it.
This particular reflector has a flimsy zipper. Be sure to push it down so the zipper moves as freely as possible, otherwise the part you grab onto could break off. Mine did. The reflector portion still works great, but it's annoying to have to unzip for reversing/using the translucent portion when it's broken.
Customer Review: Good product for the $.
Summary: 4 Stars
I read several reviews before purchasing this reflector and was concerned with the issue of the zipper being difficult to use. But I did purchase it because of need and the amount of funds I had available at the time. I've used it a couple times so far and the product itself works great. The zipper is a bit troublesome but only on the gold side for me. Truly though, it's a minor nuisance for the convenience of having the 5-in-1 and the easy travel.Customer Review: Nice reflector at a nice price
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the reviews I was a bit leery of purchasing this reflector due to the zipper issues that had been mentioned by previous purchasers. I just received this product and couldn't be happier. It's exactly what I wanted. There was no issue with the zipper although I can understand if you were very rough with it, it might break. I'll update this review should I have any problems with it in the future. So far, I'm a happy camper.Customer Review: Westcott 40-inch 5-in-1 Reflector

As others have mentioned, the zipper can be a little tricky sticky, but if handled carefully, this reflector set is a great addition to the budget conscious photographer's tool box. I liked it so much I bought the 20-inch version also (from somewhere else I believe) as yes, the 40-inch is rather large for some applications. (That's why God made measuring tapes...) Very useful for indoor food photography, with or without flash.
