Elinchrom Q-Mount 13.5cm Reflector

Barely larger than my hand, this reflector throws a surprisingly even beam for portraits on location. The build feels solid enough to toss in a bag without worry. It’s become my go-to for quick fill light when I’m shooting outdoors.

I was surprised how well this 13.5cm reflector balances light on my Quadra head — no hot spots at all. It’s small enough to pack in a tight bag, but it definitely gives me cleaner directional control than a larger dish would.

The build quality feels solid, and it clips onto my Quadra head securely without any wobble. I love how compact it is for travel, yet it still gives a nice focused beam for portrait work.
