I purchased a large, rectangular reflector set - 40 in x 60 in.

While I did try to pay attention to the way it collapses, I can't, for the LIFE OF ME, get this damn thing back into it's 'convenient carrying bag.'

I'M LOSING MY MIND! PLEASE HELP ME! :lol:

Take two of the opposite corners and twist either together or opposite and see what happens.

Nevermind! I GOT it! Finally! I found a website with a superb set of instructions for collapsing:

LOL the only thing harder is setting up your first softbox!

Glad you managed, they're a real bugger to get closed :)

I can find any old manual for anything I have at home right now through the net. It's quite amazing. Good job Trish. Now go out and shoot something! :)

The best way once you learn how is to not think about it when you twist, fold and collasp (the reflector, not you :D). If you try to think about it and see what your hands are doing, they will get mixed up. :D

I had a very hard time with my 8' x 16' background. I think I finally got it, but I really think before I use it..... do I have the time to put it away?
