FAQs

What is the difference between the Gold and White surfaces?

The White surface provides a neutral fill light, softening shadows without changing the color temperature. The Gold surface adds warmth and a 'sunset' effect, ideal for warming skin tones or creating a specific mood.

How durable is the reflector?

It features triple re-enforced stitching for the rim and double-coated reflective surfaces designed to resist cracking. Additionally, it comes with a lifetime rim guarantee.

Is this reflector suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, its portability and reflective capabilities make it excellent for outdoor photography, helping to control natural light.

What are the dimensions when collapsed?

While specific collapsed dimensions vary slightly with folding technique, the 95cm reflector folds down to a significantly smaller, manageable size, typically around one-third of its open diameter, making it portable.

Does it come with a carrying case?

The product information does not specify a carrying case. It is typically sold as the reflector itself, which is designed to be collapsed for transport.

Can I use this with speedlights or strobes?

Yes, you can use it to bounce or diffuse light from speedlights or strobes, similar to how you would use any other reflector.

What does the 'Lifetime rim guarantee' cover?

It covers the rim of the reflector if it breaks or comes apart. Manfrotto will fix the unit free of charge under this guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Reflector is difficult to collapse

Ensure you are folding the rim in an inward motion, creating a smaller circle. Apply gentle but firm pressure and a slight twisting motion. Watch online tutorials for visual guidance.

Reflective surface appears creased after repeated use

Minor creases are normal due to the collapsible nature. The double-coated surface is designed to maintain reflectivity despite creases. Avoid prolonged storage in a tightly folded state.

Rim feels loose or damaged

Contact Manfrotto customer support under the lifetime rim guarantee for repair or replacement if the rim shows signs of breaking or coming apart.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction with reinforced stitching and a lifetime rim guarantee.
  • Large 95 cm size offers ample light coverage for various setups.
  • Collapsible design makes it portable and easy to store.
  • Reflective surfaces are designed to resist wear and tear.

Cons

  • May be too large for very tight shooting spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This reflector is designed for quick deployment. To open, hold the reflector firmly and give it a slight twist while allowing the center to flex. It will naturally assume its circular shape. To collapse, find the rim and gently fold it inwards, creating a smaller circle. Practice this motion a few times; it becomes intuitive with repetition.

Compatibility:

This reflector is a passive light-shaping tool and is compatible with any lighting setup or natural light source. It does not require any electronic connection.

Care:

To clean the reflective surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the coating. Ensure the reflector is completely dry before collapsing and storing it to prevent moisture damage.

Storage:

After collapsing, store the reflector in a clean, dry place. While the triple-stitched rim is robust, avoid storing it under heavy objects that could stress the rim structure.
