I been looking around amazon for one of those 4 or 5 in 1 reflector kits to use for outdoor portraits. Can you guys recommend links for the best affordable one for the buck.

Thanks, I dont know enough about them

read the reviews of different brands and sizes on amazon or similar websites(b&h/adorama), they all function the same way just different build qualities. I purchased the 42' flashpoint brand from adorama two years ago, its still in one piece and it does the job!

i don't know what your budget is but from what i understand, the larger sizes will obviously cost you more but you will have softer light and opposite results and prices for the smaller sizes.

The major brands like Photoflex advertise that the wire band they use is stronger, lasts longer, and is less likely to warp. When it warps, the various facets send light in different directions instead of all in the same direction. Is this significant? I really don't know as I don't use mine enough. Something to think about though.
