Does anyone have the Lastolite Uplite kit? Was thinking of purchasing it since I work alone, and while friends help me with holding a reflector, I constantly can't depend on someone to show up to all my shoots.

Is the Lastolite Uplite worth it?

Check the reviews.

I don't have one and no plans to get one. I am not a fan of up-the-nose reflector fill. Even with high sun lighting I like to have the reflector closer to the level of the model's face. I chose the Sunbounce Micro Mini on a stand.

Don't know anything about the product your asking about.

I do use California Sunbounce  when on location, all you need is their special grip links below:

Just like all reflectors once outside, you have a huge kite bouncing light. What I like about the Sunbounce over the others is the strong frame, it helps prevent sagging, the Sunbounce mini does a good job with 3/4 length pictures.

That is what I'm talking about. I mainly use reflectors for outside use. I have tried stands before, the slightest of wind just knocks them down.

Holy #$%^ that's expensive for a reflector. I just have a $10 attachment to a lightstand to hold up my 5-in 1 .. thing was like $25 .

Wtf is with the name too.. "the joe mcnally reflector" haha, how ridiculous. I bet that's where the extra $150 goes - brand name recognition. God help me if I ever get that well known, I better get a lot of money to endorse a product like that

I prefer assistants holding them, can angle the light better that way as it changes. But from the sound of it you just need a more sturdy reflector holder mount or some sand bags
