I couldnt find this via google, so if anyone is familiar with this brand, it would be very helpful. Thanks!

The original triflector you see in the video was created by wescott

Westcott replaced it with this new model

Lastolite makes a similar tried lector which I own. I think it is better because the panels are bigger.

I also own a similar model like this one. I use foam boards any size up 60" I think it can handle or you can get panels as well.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks MrV - very helpful.

I like the original design, which unfortunately isnt available anymore / anywhere ..... The curved reflector doesn't seem as accommodating with limited usability....

I wonder if i can source the material to create my own "tri folding" arm and use regularly available panels to make one DIY style..
