  • Thanks for this, I didn't think it would ever go back in that bag.

  • Thank you! :)

  • Love!

  • Got my reflector today and I really needed this. :D Thank you!

  • I have not tried this yet but the other videos were confusing. After seeing your video and can not wait to give it a try.

  • Absolutely brilliant! I've had three diffusers I've been carrying around full size for around a year now, because no matter how I tried, I couldn't get them back in their pesky little bags. I tried your method, and had all three back in their bags in less than a minute. Thank you. It works!

  • Hi I made a vid kind of showing how to make an alternate choice as a reflector for less than 4 dollars :D please check it out

  • this was so much help and fun to watch!! <3

  • Well done! Excellent presentation, clear diction and understandable instructions.

    The 'Best Folding Movie' ever!

  • thx, that reflector was owning me big time till now!!

  • what really makes me laugh is that I don't use my reflector very often - which basically means I have to watch this clip every single time I'm trying to get it back into the bag!

  • I can not believe how that was, thanks Gavin Hoey.

  • yes!!! now I can finally get my reflector back in the bag!

  • one of the most valuable videos on youtube

  • thank you! that was so irritating me =)

  • I find small reflectors OK but how about a back grown with two trains? not so easy..

    also how do you clean them? the black side is ok but the white one well that's not so easy to keep white.

I watched your video once and did it exactly and got it the first time. Video should be like this, simple and to the point. thanks a ton for saving me some embarrassment in future :)

  • Well done Gavin. I hadn't used mine for a while and I'm doing a wedding today! Good old internet!!

    Thanks.

  • After numerous unsuccessful attempts, I watched your video once and then got it to fold the right way on the first try. Thanks.

  • Hey Gavin! You saved me from what could have been a horrible embarrassment!!!

    -Wistbacka

  • we just bought a reflector and in our excitement to use it we took it out of the bag and it popped open...we used it and took some great pics. When it came time to pack up we were all looking at each other like 'ummm what a small bag that is'

    This video saved us a lot of embarrassment....thanks dude!

  • wow... you really helped me!!!! it works out now oO great... i love you!!! =)

  • gavin... I love you

  • awesome.

  • One go & got it back in the bag. It took me 3 years to do this. But Gavin made it so simple. Thanks

  • This was helpful. I was frustrated as heck before watching this

  • Veeeery good!

    Worked at first try. Cleaning woman had suggested to separate the Walimex in two pieces because it was "impossible" to fold ;-) You saved the life of a light tent!

  • You've just oficially became my refletor-folding Guru, sir.

    Thank you! =P

  • you are officially my hero!!

  • and to think that i spent 20 minutes one day trying to put one back up

  • Thank you, Gavin, you honey from heaven. Why couldn't the other guy I've just waited 15 minutes with who gave me, I'm sure, two sprained wrists, have explained it as clearly? You're the best.

  • Thanks mate!

  • Gavin, you are a life saver!!!! Sadly, this is the third video I've watched. Thanks for the helpful tip!

  • Thank you so much!!! You've been great!!!

  • THANK YOUU!!!! :]

  • It's amazing how many people didn't know how to do this but that's why they have good info from Gavin. Another successful video would be how to collapse the pop up/collapsable background. I spent 20 min trying to fold up an 8' x 12' collapsable.

  • Where was you on Christmas morning???? :)

    V. useful video, many thanks.

  • You are amazing just got 1 for my 18th bday and was about to rip the thing you saved it! after 20 minutes of fighting quick google search saved the day again!

  • THANK YOU, GOD!!! That was driving me mad. You saved my sanity. Thank you.

  • Nice video. I wanted to see a little more character development, but will definitely recommend this to friends. :)

  • Gavin: THANK YOU for this video! I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to get the blooming thing back into it's pouch. Now it's easy as pie. Cheers mate!

  • Hey Gavin - I was going through videos that show how I could tame my frickin' 107 diameter reflector and get it back in the bag. Yours is the best! Thanks, mate!

  • freaking life saver!!!!

    thank you so much for posting this ^-^

  • Wow! I now owe you my amateur life as I was in the midst of a tangled despair until I hazarded a try to see wether someone had put a simple tutorial on youtube. A thousand thank yous!!!

    Thank you!

  • Very helpful video indeed. Stuff like this foxes most of us and simple solutions are always welcome. Thanks Gavin

  • Nothing but AWESOME I could have fiddled all day with this thing...thanks

  • Oh my goodness. THANK YOU!!! It's so simple but no amount of guesswork will get you there. Mine has sat in my room for days because I couldn't figure it out after it came in the mail. This saved my life.

  • Like Magic!! Thanks!!

  • i am so grateful !!!

    thanks a lot

  • God bless you!!! It works!

  • This is one of the most useful tips I've ever seen. Thanks a lot

  • very good vid, i tried this with a 5 in one reflector which are a bit stiffer and it broke, so heres a tip, feel around the edge to where the ring joins inside the material and hold that part in your hand, first time i tried it the join was in the middle bit, which twists and it came apart. i had to unstich it, repair the join and re-sew it.

  • Thanks you saved me! Phew.

  • Good grief! The video was perfectly clear, but it took three tries. Mine is a 5n1 and it was stiff. Thank you, because I thought I would be that person, ashame of closing it in public. Honestly I would have taken it to the car open. Thank you. That is why I like Youtube.

  • OMG THANK YOU!! I just got mine in the mail, opened it up and spent 20 minutes unable to figure out how to get it back in. Yay! Its back in

  • AWESOME VIDEO!!!

  • Wow! I got it on the first try!!! I agree with 'historyaccess', except for the expletive of course;) THE BEST VIDEO ON WEB THIS IS!

  • YESS!! i was so worried at first. thank you a bunch! i got it

  • In terms of sheer helpfulness, this simple little video is the best thing on youtube, at least if you're a photographer who's just bought his first reflector and is flummoxed by the #$%^& thing. Thanks.

  • Thanks! really help me :)

  • its funny but it is very interesting..tnx i need to get one...tnx for the tips

  • Thanks! Just got my first reflector and couldn't figure out how to get it back in the bag.. the technique in your video worked perfectly!

  • Why didnt I see this video 5 months ago, before I broke my reflector..?

  • Great!! I managed to do it the first time I used it, but couldn't work out how!! The next time it just stayed open and i swore at it a lot for a few days.

    You may have saved my marriage and should be knighted!
