SUNBOUNCE Photography Tools Testimonials
“I own the Micro, Mini, Pro and Sunswatter – essential lighting tools that come with me on every shoot “
“I have two SUNBOUNCE reflectors and I love them. Amazing light!”
“There are three major benefits to the SUNBOUNCE system for me . . . 1. The stretch fabric creates a reliable lighting pattern and can throw light across a long distance if needed. 2. The quality of light they produce is amazing! 3. They’re very durable and will last you a very long time. I own the MICRO-MINI (2×3) the Mini (3×4), the PRO 4×6 and the BIG SUN-SWATTER. Just bought the 3-D RAINDROP 4×6 fabric and love the punch it produces especially on cloudy days! Bottom line . . . It’s more expensive but WELL worth the price!”
