Best collapsible reflector?

[jon ryan]

I could use something I can stick in my bag, but some that I've seen look awfully flimsy. Anyone found a cheapie that can survive some hard times?

I bought one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Phot...RU3M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338981586&sr=8-2
Cost £16. Folds up small into a case, and is quite good value for the money.
My thinking was that if it only lasts a few uses, it's only £16 wasted.
So far I have used it a lot, it gets thrown around, and it's still good.
For the sake of £16 I don't care if it breaks next time out (which I don't see why it will) then I'll just buy another.
HTH,
Gary

i've got a cheapy 5-in-1 too, one of the best things i've purchased to help my photography out and about. much easier than setting up a flash or softbox and loads cheaper.

the bag is a bit pants and is starting to fall apart, but the reflector itself is great. use it all the time.

I've just bought a cheapy ebay 5in1 for around £8 its about a meter accross and sofar I've had no problems but as above the bag ain't the best.

Right. £16 job ordered. Probably just the same as the eight quid one, but eight quid sounds just too cheap somehow.

Thanks all
