The Ambitful KS05 Reflector Panel Sun Scrim Kit is a great collection of reflectors/scrim/light blocker and frame all in one easy to transport kit. The frame uses elastic to keep all the parts together and makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the frame quickly. The reflectors are the typical white, gold and silver. Then, there is the translucent material (scrim) to diffuse light, as well as a solid black material to block light (negative fill). There is, also, a black panel that lets some light through it. I'm not sure what that would be used for as I've never seen it before but it's there if you have a use.The frame can be attached to a light stand with the built-in mount, which is very practical, and it has a handheld rod that can be attached to the frame if you don't mount it to a stand. The handheld bracket can be used to put the reflector on the ground and have it reflect at an angle, which is very useful. Alternatively, it can be used by an assistant to hold the reflector. The frame and handheld rod are pretty lightweight so it should be reasonably easy to handhold it.These many options make it a useful addition to a photographer's kit, especially outdoors using natural light. Of course, using it outdoors makes it susceptible to wind blowing it around so you have to be careful with it. I have been looking for a convenient way to block overhead light for portraits for some time and this should do the trick. At this price point ($89.99 at the time I ordered it), it's reasonably well manufactured. I've seen nicer made reflector panels but they cost a lot more.

This is a nice kit. It's like an extra set of hands to hold reflectors and scrims. It's easy to set up and pretty secure. It is also very portable so you can travel with it if you need too.

This is a great reflector that is super easy to attach to stands as I need to. Its super handy and can always get the right placement and angle as well as being sturdy and durable.

I recently added the AMBITFUL KS05 Reflector Panel Sun Scrim Kit to my photography gear for around $90, and it’s been a solid addition. I use it primarily for capturing staged images in motion, like a runner with a beverage, and the variety of colored reflectors really enhances the shots. The reflective capacity is excellent, ensuring I get the right light every time.Despite being lightweight, the kit is both steady and sturdy, which is crucial when you're working on location. The included carry bag is a big plus, making it easy to transport everything I need.Overall, I’m pleased with this kit, though a few more accessories would have been nice. It’s a good value for the price.An STG Synergies BTN Enterprises Review!

This has been an excellent addition to my portable setup. Most of the time, it's just me, and this made my life so much easier. It's a light setup that all fits in a nice little carrying bag. It only takes a few minutes to set up and is easily manipulated to get the results you want. I do recommend you keep a weight bag with you, though. A little bit of wind is this setup's downfall. The reflectors are nice, working as they should. There really are no complaints to have about this besides its light weight, but if it were any heavier, it wouldn't be portable then. I love it.

This kit is nice and lightweight. It has been great to practice with. It is easy to setup. It just snaps into place. The Velcro is strong and withstands the wind. I attached it to a light stand for sturdiness. It is a great value.

Ambitful has really delivered recently on quality products at a reasonable price point. This is another example and I've been using this in studio and out as both a scrim and a reflector.The kit comes in a nice case to take with you on location that holds everything in the kit nicely. The included frame is very easy to assemble and you can cover it with your choice of 6 different light controlling options. The scrim/reflector material is well made and fit nicely, no issues. The arm is useful when you take this kit to the field to control the light outdoors, and I've often removed the arm and mounted it on a lightstand in studio to use it as a reflector.All in all, at this price point (~$89 at time of writing this review), this is a great addition to my kit and I've been very happy with it for a couple months.

This is a must have if you're photographing in the sun. I opt to use it on a much longer pole, but it works so great for throwing some shade on your subject. Do yourself a favor, and use it horizontal to the ground as much as you can, so the wind isn't an issue. This works great with a longer pole (center pole from an old light stand was perfect for me)
