Default About those Big Ass Reflectors
I ordered a 40x60 5 in 1 reflector. It just came yesterday and I just played with it for the first time today.
Is there some kind of magic trick to getting that sucker back in the bag? Holy Hell! I have banged myself in the face, knocked my kid down, scared the cat and still don't have it back in that tiny bag. LOL

LMAO! For the first few months I had mine, I never bothered folding it up, could not figure it out for the life of me. Luckily, there are a couple of videos available!

I'm not quite as good as the first guy, I kinda do what the second guy does.

Just like a bandsaw blade, but less likely to cause bleeding!
