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!
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!
Awesome Video Gavin, I tried 50 times by my own and could not make it. Obviously i tried searching youtube and found your video. 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 :)
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!!!
OMG my reflector has sat in my dining room MOCKING me from the moment it exploded out of its bag a month ago! 3 perfectly capable adults have not been able to work out how to get the damn thing back....it has been a source of UTTER frustration......until now!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Thanks mate!
