If you're in the market for a Maxi Spot reflector or a 10" HP Sports reflector, there's a bunch for sale here at decent prices. $85 for the Maxi Spot and $50 for the HP 10".

I have the high performance reflector and have only used it in the studio. I like it a lot.

I'm wondering how close it is in terms of quality of light to the Maxispot.
Has anyone done shoots with both or have experience with the high performance other than sports or event work?

I'd love to see some outdoor images with the HP.

I've used it outdoors before for portrait work, and think it makes nice light. Here's a shot from last year with the 10" HP reflector, about 8ft away camera left. Of course the subjects are my kids. What else would they be? :)

I have both, the HP is like half the size of the Maxispot (by my memory). So i think it'd be quite different in terms of breadth. The materials are very similar though, it's just a width issue.

I'm hoping my maxilite arrives by the weekend :D

On a slightly side note, I've managed to organise to do some work with a young fashion designer here on the Gold Coast who's around the same stage in her career as I am. She'd like to do some work with me and bounce some ideas around. I can't wait as this is exactly what I've been looking for, someone I can work consistently with to push both our portfolios. She's hoping to finish her new "Mini" series and I'm thinking of using a location I scouted to do some work.

It also means "uninterruptable power supply." Any other words, the backup battery units some people use for things like keeping their computer from crashing if the power drops.

Recently switched from Genesis to a pair of D-Lite IT and a midi octa. Just ordered the Quadra with A head. I'll likely pick up the deep octa soon.
