Broncolor Para 88 Reflector

The build quality is really impressive for something that folds down so small—it sets up in minutes and feels solid even in a light breeze outside. This reflector gives a gorgeous, natural light that’s noticeably better than my old umbrella for outdoor portraits.

I was surprised by how compact and lightweight this is for a reflector—under 6 kg makes it easy to take on location shoots. The catchlight it gives is soft and natural, perfect for outdoor portraits.

The build quality is fantastic—the metal construction feels rock-solid, but it’s still light enough at under 6 kg to carry easily to location shoots. Set-up was quick, and the light spread is incredibly even, which saved me time in post-processing.
