Reflectors

Only for children and midgets. If you want to do full body shots this is what you should be considering along with a stand (if you don't have an assistant) http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …flector_White_S​ilver.html

The California Sun bounce are great devices and built more like the quality of a sail on a wind surfer than like a collapsable reflector. If you have an assistant to help out they even have great places to for them to grab onto the device- top notch devices but not something that the average photographer shooting solo is going to need.

What exactly is a reflector stand? Is it just a light stand w/ a special clamp attachment or is it a dedicated reflector stand?

It's actually a reflector holder that mounts on a standard light stand. A reflector holder is just a boom arm with clamps or clips to hold a reflector in place. There are many manufacturers or holders. Photoflex, Westcott, Bogen, Avenger, Lastolite, etc.

I agree Rudi...

White foam core produces some of the nicest and softest light. Too bad it doesn't travel well or endure the weather and environment.

White and black foam core. Some of the best reflectors and gobos respectively!

I don't use the reflectors outdoor much but a lot in the studio, so I modified the reflector stand to have a small foot print. But this is one type of the reflector stands/arms with double adjusting ball joints.
