Strobepro Easy Up Litepanel

This reflector/flag/scrim unit is fantastic, and has seen a lot of use since I picked it up about 6 months ago. It's lightweight, but sturdy, and easy to transport when folded up. I'm likely going to pick up a couple more in the coming year... Awesome for a sun-scrim when shooting portraits outside, great for a reflector in my studio, and really helpful for diffusing fill light when shooting home interiors. I'd love to see a black fabric option as well for creating shadows(going to have one made for the unit I have already...). The only gripe I have is having to use an allen key to attach/remove the mounting hardware, it's a bit of a pain. That said, I picked up some tool-free bolts off amazon to use instead, and it's waaaay more convenient.

I think this product offers good long term value for the cost. My only issue is that with the supplied mounting brackets attached, the frame will not fit into the supplied bag and still let me close the bag zipper. Either the bag or the mounting bracket should be modified to let me leave the mounting bracket attached. I don’t want to remove the bracket (Allen screw attached) every time I put the frame into the bag.

Very good experience, the staff were so helpful and assisted me in evaluating my needs and the best product. Will definitely go there again!

The panel size is great. The adapter to connect the panel to the optional boom only permits the boom and panel to be folded to about 90 degrees so carrying it around can be awkward and cumbersome (middle image). I decided to use a griphead to clamp to the litepanel and now you can fold it completely (Third image) as it is a less cumbersome way for the person holding the panel during traveling to another location. It also can create a tripping hazard if you put the panel on the ground between shooting. The adapter for the C stand boom has to be taken off if you want to store it in the bag as it will not fit into the bag zipped (first image). You have to take off the adapter. I resorted to using the griphead to connect the panel to the boom and bypassed ALL the adapters as you can fold the boom stand and panel so its not as cumbersome to carry and It requires no tools to take off the adapter aka griphead and the griphead just barely fits into the bag with the panel, I prefer that whatever I use I don't have to use hand tools to assemble/disassemble on location. If you lose the allan wrench, you are hooped.

Great tool in the kit. Easy to put together. The diffuser fits snugly.
