Hey Guys,

Can anyone recommend a high quality reflector that is (a) easy to use/work with, (b) highly portable, (c) and durable. It doesn't have to be a 5-in-1. I just need/want it to be great so it wont need replacement in a year or two. It will be used for (95%) outdoor portraiture work when me and my girlfriend work together to get some engagement photos done.

I used to own a 42" Impact 5 in 1. It was alright, easy to put together, but Im wondering how much better i could do if I put a bit more money into a product like this.

thanks in advance! - Marlon

Depending on your budget and how serious you are about reflectors you may want to look at either the California Sunbounce or Lastolite Skylite. They come in various sizes and configurations and both are based on an aluminum frame that can be used with a crossbar for easy handholding by an assistant or to mount to a grip head and have a very solid mount to a stand or boom.
