My Review of Flashpoint Portable Reflector Bracket, 12-67"


Does the job at a reasonable cost

4out of 5

Pros: Value, Price

Best Uses: Portraits, Indoors

Describe Yourself: Semi-pro Photographer

Was this a gift?: No

Does the job that it was meant to do for a reasonable price. It does seem to struggle a little when using a larger diameter reflector i.e. 42 inch. Not a major problem for me but could be a consideration for other buyers.

  1. thanks this was the first review on this. Based on your 4 star I guess I will give it a whirl then - there are many to choose from esp on Ebay. Hoping one can mount this anywhere on the light stand vs. only the top portion

  2. @anonymous: If your main concern is to be able to mount the relector bracket any where on the lightstand, you might want to do some more research. Unfortunately I am back in Thailand and my bracket is literally and figuratively "on a slow boat from America" However from what I can remember and looking at the catalog photo of the bracket, it is basically for mounting at the top. However with enough of and the correct combination of grip gear you could possiblely manage to mount it any where on the light stand but not necessarily "easily or conveniently"
