V-FLAT WORLD Foldable V-Flat Light Reflector for Photography - 10-in-1 Portable Photography Reflector, Multi-Use Light Diffuser Panels - Includes Carrying Bag, Folded Size 40" x 40" x 2" - Pack of 2

If you're looking at v-flat reviews then you probably already know how valuable it's going to be in your studio. Maybe you've tried using DIY solutions, or you've rented time at a studio that had massive v-flats that you couldn't imagine fitting in a smaller space, much less transporting. The real beauty of these V-Flat World foldable v-flats is how versatile they are and how easily they pack away. They are big enough that you can fold them out and have great fill (or negative fill) for your shooting space, but small enough that you can fold them away again and regain the use of your space. When folded down they're in that category of seeming awkwardly large to throw around, but yet really quite light for their size. I'm not a big guy and these are no problem at all really. The folded size is good to fit in your average hatchback or mid-size trunk too. I have a feeling if I'd tried one of those DIY videos you've probably seen on youtube, I'd have spent a lot of time making something heavier, bulkier, less evenly surfaced, and probably less durable on top of it all. Well worth the money to get the better outcome.

I knew that V flats could be useful but held back for two reasons. The DIY build process seemed to have a lot of steps for someone who isn't very gifted in the craft department. And storage of large pieces of gator board posed a problem. Being able to get pre made flats which folded addressed both problems so I gave it a try. I only got these yesterday but I already know they are great. First, they are absolutely dead simple to use. Just pull them out of the box, fold them up, attach them with the velcro, and they're ready to go (a Youtube video made them look more complex than they are). Second, they are incredibly light. I didn't expect them to be heavy but they were far lighter than I expected. This is important because it means they are super portable and maneuverable. Piece of cake to get them up, move them where you want them, or change the configuration. When you're finished you can just fold them, put them in the bag, and store them (mine went under the stairs). In fact my only criticism -- and it's minor -- is the bag could be an inch wider so it would be easier to get them in (wasn't a huge problem as is) and that the handles would be shorter. The handles work fine but they extend the bag a foot or so, making it impossible for anyone less than eight feet tall to easily walk when holding the handles (I'm over six feet and it's not close). Of course these are total quibbles. The bag even with two is so light I can easily lift it over my head, and it's not a problem getting them back into the bag (no doubt some experience will make it easier). Just some suggestions for making the bag a wee deeper and having the handles attach on the side. If you do lighting, especially in a home studio but pretty much anywhere including on location (folded down they should fit in most vehicles), these are a great buy and well worth the price. These don't cost a lot more than two good standard light stands, a support bar, and two rolls of seamless paper, but they are far more versatile. If you're on the fence go ahead and order. I think you'll be very happy with these. A great and super easy to use product.

It is a good product, but the price tag is way too much. First and foremost for such a price tag, this should come with not binds or dents, mine arrive with bends and dents, not enough to warrant a return however. The item is basically 4 pieces of foam core, with black on one side, with what appears to be gaffers tape to create a type of hinge point for folding and to secure in open position with black and white velcro. A person could actually build this portable version easily. Packaging could have been better to protect the investment of 195 dollars a price tag which is so outrageous it should be criminal. This product is only worth about 65 bucks...maybe. using 1 inch form core, you could build your own for less than 65. depending on paint cost. However, the price tag has sold me on the idea of building my own from now on. I can build 2 Flats using the same methods except 2 inch thick for around 130, and they'd be bigger as well a portable. Please don't get me wrong the item is a good item, but the price tag is the reason for the 1 star, I feel this company is ripping off the consumer, and I'll never order another from them again. I am kicking myself for not building my own for the same cost , cause I could be sitting on two much larger, and better built ( Cause I did it myself so care would have been a lot better) V-Flats, that would be sturdier too. Do yourself a favor, watch a vid on how to build your own on YouTube, there are many out there. I was victim of laziness, I learned laziness is not an excuse not to DIY and save yourself some money. In this case a lot of money. Oh and one last thing, there on the back of the V-flat the white side looked like an edge of a shoe print. A little warm cloth with small soap and water and it was gone which is good. Never again.

The V Flat is a great idea and they do work well. However, mine arrived with creases in the white side and dents in the foam. I decided not to return them since my guess was this happened in transport (how they packed it in the box needs to be improved), and, I can always clone stamp away any issues. It does work very well to bounce/defuse light off and or absorb light (the black side) and as a simple background for portraits & head shots. I do recommend this product, just know that the foam will crease/dent and if any pressure is applied to it. So I give it 3.5 stars and will most likely order another.

À manipuler avec soin. Matériau relativement fragile. Ce n'est pas petit, alors si vous devez le trainer avec vous, pas certain que vous pouvez le mettre dans une voiture normale sans l'abimer.

THIS IS REALLY OVERPRICED AND BAD AND NOT PRACTICAL AT ALL. SO CHEAP AND NOT RECOMMENDED! I FEEL I WASTED MY MONEY.

The advertisement suggests you will receive 2 v-flats which would be reasonable given the cost - when it arrived there was only 1 in the box - I felt like i had been deceived and paid too much for what I got
