[IP66] I had been considering a 12" round reflector, but this 14" "rounded-off square" design provides a bit wider spread of light (making it better suited to head shots than the 12"), while the corners work well along the sides of my small Kaiser product table. It's also perfect for macro work, of course. �It folds down to a 6" circle in the provided carry/storage case. �Quality is typical Westcott...excellent. 5

[1.3 lb (0.6 kg)] This sling is great and because it's designed for women photographers, it's a very comfortable fit. I've had other sling camera straps, this by far is the best one. I have an Olympus EM1 MII and it's a secure attachment, the Swivel Carabiner is added safety security. The strap length is easy to adjust; the instruction video gives general instructions for all the sling products, but is not specific to the RS-W2 Camera Sling. I'd recommend this sling strap to any woman. 5

[12/24 VAC/DC] I finally found a sling strap the is not cumbersome and to long. Easy to use and understated. 5

[11 W maximum] Gives a big source for reflected light. It is advisable to have a Masters degree in reflector-folding prior to opening the reflector for the first time. 5

[1.3 lb (0.6 kg)] Bought this to use to bounce light on flowers with handheld camera. Great soft light and easy to use. And the best is it folds up and fits in your back jeans pocket. Love it. Great buy. 5

Christina	16/07/2024
[12/24 VAC/DC] It's amazing that this large reflector folds up into a circle! Easy to set up and take down. Am using the Westcott arm to hold it on a C-Stand in my home studio right now, but plan to use it outside as a large diffuser this summer for outdoor photo shoots. 5

[IP66] I needed a small reflector to add light to the frame while using my laptop camera for Webinars. It is just right and just the right size to use on a small desk area. Stores nicely in accompanying pouch. Nice quality. 5

[8.2' (2.5 m)] Great portable BIG illuminator. I buy as much quality Westcott equipment as possible, and this reflector is built to last. Only issue? Learning to collapse into case, YouTube to the rescue. I learned of this reflector at an awesome Jason Lanier workshop where he demonstrated how with one diffuser and one light you have tremendous light-shaping flexibility. 5

Christopher	13/06/2024
[8.2' (2.5 m)] This reflector is a must for full length body shots, and at this price and delivery to the UK it is well worth the money. Well done B&H. 5

Walter	17/05/2024
[1.3 lb (0.6 kg)] Bought the smaller 14 1-Sunlight/White Reflector for macro photography work. It folds up very compactly, it is easy to carry around. It came with a carrying pouch and strap handle. 5
