What does everyone think of this reflector?

http://cgi.ebay.com …ame=STRK%3AMEWA​%3AIT&rd=1 (external link)

I am just starting to try some new things with lighting other than just take the shot with whatever is available or straight on flash. I tried a piece of white poster board at an angle above my bounce flash and got pretty good results(besides shadows underneath which I have a slave flash for). I figure the reflector would work better and have uses outside also.

Would a 42" be fairly managable with an assistant or is arm or stand really needed?

That reflector is cheap. Material wise...You would probably do better with tin foil. This guy is asking 15 dollars for shipping (outrageous) on top of the 24.99 asking price....

Save a little more and get the Wescott Illuminator 5-in 1 you will probably be grateful later.
