ALZO Easy Frame Diffuser & Reflector Kit

I started using this product for my outdoor photos, especially for engagement photos, sometimes you just don't have the shade. It acts as a soft box, nice even lighting. Easy to put together and take down.

Quick and easy setup,(not unlike a tent set up) less wind blowing effects than the usual flex-fills. The handle lets you stand it up alone or in a c-stand. Def worth the price.

Good quality reflectors and diffusers. I love the attachment handle that can be used on its own or attached to a C clamp.

Yes, it's low-priced but is it poorly constructed? Not at all. Metal frame is solid, lightweight, and assembles in seconds. The fabrics can be attached in seconds and also have velcro to hold them in place. The fabrics are thin but OK. I'll probably have to be gentle with them to make them last. I have used the frame an an overhead for talent outdoors and to diffuse some Babies in studio settings. On some exceptionally windy video shoots I was worried that the pivot handle would be a weak point but it didn't lose it's grip and slip out of place. It also has 2 screws to hold it to the included pole and it's receiver is sized to attach directly to C stand grip arms which is mostly how I deployed it. The frame is fine for Hollywooding as it is very light. Interestingly, the pole-arm is hollow, so you also slip it onto a grip arm directly but in this configuration it doesn't lock, so it makes more sense to just detach the handle and lock the frame to a grip arm directly. Alzo should tap the pole so you can slip it on and off a grip arm and lock it down. Then you could rapidly go from stand to handhold mode without having to reconfigure it. The bag is actually fairly sturdy and roomy enough for me to toss in other reflector brackets and umbrellas, etc. No shoulder strap, unfortunately, though. They should at least make it with D rings. At this price, I plan to buy a few more and make my own 4x4 Floppy kits. I still love Mathews and Avenger gear but this particular Alzo item does the same job.

Pretty happy with this purchase, even though diffuser fabric is not heat resistant. The frame is light weight but supper sturdy. Easily collapsible. We bought it specifically for the diffusion screen and it does the job greatly. If you are on a budget this is it.

Love these things, for the price you can't beat them. Cheap and portable. Thought they break down, I usually leave them assembled and ready to go in the back of my truck. I usually keep 2 with the silk diffuser on it and 2 with the black fill on it. Shooting LED panels through it really makes for a great soft light source.
