Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Collapsible Reflector 120cm is designed for professional photographers and videographers who need reliable, portable light modification for portrait and location work. Its primary benefit is the large, 120cm surface area that provides soft, even light distribution, making it an essential tool for creating flattering illumination. However, users should note that due to its large size, it requires a bit of practice to handle in windy outdoor environments compared to smaller reflectors.

FAQs

What is the difference between the Sunsilver and White sides?

The Sunsilver side adds a warm, punchy glow perfect for adding light to skin, while the White side provides a softer, more neutral fill light.

Can I mount this on a standard light stand?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard reflector holders and grip heads used in photography studios.

How large is the reflector when folded?

The reflector collapses to a fraction of its 120cm diameter, designed to fit into a compact carry case for easy portability.

Is the fabric machine washable?

No, it is recommended to spot clean the fabric with a damp, soft cloth to avoid damaging the reflective coating.

Does this come with a carrying bag?

Yes, a protective carrying bag is included to help with storage and transport.

Is this suitable for beginner photographers?

Absolutely; it is an intuitive tool that helps beginners understand the impact of reflected light on their subjects.

Troubleshooting

Reflector fabric appears wrinkled

The fabric will naturally flatten once the frame is fully expanded; keep it tensioned to minimize visible creases.

Difficulty collapsing the unit

Ensure you are applying a firm, even twist; practice the 'figure-eight' fold technique to ensure the frame loops overlap correctly.

Reflector keeps blowing over in wind

Use a heavy-duty reflector holder or sandbag the base of your lighting stand to provide the necessary stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Large surface area creates flattering, soft light
  • Dual surfaces offer excellent versatility for different lighting conditions
  • Ergonomic handles ensure comfortable, precise light manipulation
  • Folds down easily for efficient transport and storage

Cons

  • Large footprint can be challenging to stabilize in strong winds
  • Requires significant storage space when unfolded compared to smaller modifiers
  • Handheld use can be tiring during long shooting sessions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the reflector involves a simple twist-and-fold motion, which allows it to expand into its full 120cm shape immediately. When collapsing, hold the frame at both ends, twist in opposite directions, and fold the loops inward to fit into the included storage bag.

To ensure longevity:

  • Always store the reflector in its carrying bag to prevent fabric snagging or frame deformation.
  • Keep the reflective surfaces clean by wiping them gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
  • When working outdoors, use a reflector arm and stand if possible to prevent the large surface from catching the wind.
  • Avoid leaving the reflector in direct, high-heat environments for extended periods when not in use.
