Elemental 80cm 5-in-1 ReflectorWho is it for? A reflector is an invaluable piece of kit, whether shooting in the studio or on location, as it’s a great way to help bounce light back onto a subject to remove unwanted shadows and to brighten them up. The Elemental 5-in-1 reflector is no exception to this, providing you with five surfaces – white, gold, silver, black and white diffuser – bundled into a neat, single package.
Key features: Fully expanded, it measures 80cm in diameter but can be quickly folded down into its 30cm carrycase ready for storage – thanks to the strong but flexible framework. The inner frame of the reflector houses the white diffuser surface, with a reversible zip-on cover providing the other three reflective surfaces and one black ‘deflector’ surface.
Ease of use: Constructed on a flexible frame, the 80cm diameter reflector easily folds in and out of its protective carrycase, making it much easier to store and transport – perfect for popping into a rucksack-style camera bag. The lightweight construction also makes it easy to operate and it won’t tire out your arms when holding it in place for extended periods of time.
Price: At £26, it’s great value for money considering you’re effectively getting five products for the cost of one.
n Summary: With five surfaces to choose from at a reasonable price, you’ll find it hard to go wrong with this setup. If you’re constantly battling with unwanted shadows when shooting, it’s definitely time to invest in this reflector.
