The first time I tried to fold up our 40"x60" reflector I nearly knocked one of the monolight strobes over and just about accidentally scooped up and tossed the cat through the front window who just happened to be snoozing nearby during the shoot.
My cousin and I got a new reflector a couple weeks ago and before I forget again, I have to say thank you for making this video. I was laughing so hard when kicking it up actually worked.
Man, I just want to say thank you because I was going to crazy trying to fold my new huge collapsable reflector for 20 minutes and finally gave up. Then I googled for a video desperately and found yours, how to do it like a Jedi. You are the savior.
I just got my 43" round light reflector, and "attempted" to be smart, because I knew it would be hard to fold it again. I studied how it was folded up to begin with.... then popped it open... After about 15 min... still couldn't get it folded. I watched this video, and lo and behold...In about 5 seconds, I folded into it's original 16" circle!! Thanks a million for showing it how it's done, and looking like a wicked awesome jedi in the process!
I just got one of these monster reflectors. I opened it up, and then couldn't get it back into a circle. Now I know how it's done. Thanks for the laugh, and for showing us how to do this the right way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I previously felt like I was wrestling an alligator and not getting anywhere until I watched this. I folded my reflector in under 5 seconds thanks to you!
What a lifesaver! You'd think the company I bought this from would have something on their site to show how to do this! I got mine today and then couldn't get the thing back into the bag! Thanks for taking the time to post this!
OMG, THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO! after countless times of trying to fold the darn thing i finally decided to youtube this and I WATCHED IT AND AFTER the first try i got it folded. thank u!
f*@#ing smart ass! lol
