  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

GROUP BUY - SQUARE BOUNCE REFLECTOR

Ours arrived this morning and we are completely satisfied with the product especially considering the price. We have discovered no flaws whatsoever with our set and suspect, if we handle with care, they will last and serve us well for some time.

Received mine today as well.

My silver had those brown spots on the underside of the material - and the stitched on velcro clasp used to close the reflector was already fraying out of the box, so it is a matter of time before that falls off.

My white reflector handle unfortunately was broken out of the box, the handle was just floating around on the end of the shaft

See how they hold up otherwise, although I am going to inquire about that broken reflector and see how the customer service is.
 
Brown spots on the underside dont matter, as the whole thing is designed to only be used on one side.

I got mine and so far am happy. I think people complaining about build quality need to remember what they paid. If it was shit brick tough it would have been $500. Which, they may consider a 'pro' version with alll metal construction and a black one for negative bounce.

no obviously - but stains on a new item is unacceptable to me. And the broken handle out of the box could be just shipping, we'll see the response from them
Otherwise I am excited to use them and see how they hold up

update: Noticed one of the end tips is bent on the end of the white reflector, and the silver reflector end tip has already fallen off

Mine arrived yesterday.

Joe and I must have the same white reflector. I also have brown spots (quite a few, actually), and my handle fell off as I was pulling it out of the bag!

Fortunately, I had some epoxy laying around, so I just epoxied the handle back on, but I do not expect this thing to be that helpful for outdoor use, as the fabric isn't tight enough to keep from really flapping around.

All in all, I'm not a big fan.

Alas.

After gluing it back on, can you fit it back into the case?

It seemed like the handle collapsed a few inches so that it would fit into the case length-wise.
 
Got an email from Mr. Wong, and he's going to replace the one with the broken handle.

I double checked both units, and all the stitching, etc. look ok - so that was my only problem.

Just be careful applying any pressure to the handles.

Also - might be a good idea to insert them back into the case together, instead of one at a time, as it's a tight fit.
 
Their is no doubt, that company is really listening their customers, just got a refund from Lyon Wong with no problem.
Kudo to him...
Anyway glad to hear some positive feedback from some Red User.

Mine just arrived. I think the quality is good for the price, and it works. There were some brown stains on the silver version, hopefully they wash out. But the bad thing is Dutch customs, somehow they bumped up the value to 135 euros from 140 usd and charged an extra 42 euros for importing it. Thats about 50% of the cost of the reflectors.
 
Hey there, Les. . .

. . . you are quite right! The now-epoxied handle is just a bit too long to fit into the case and have it close cleanly. On the other hand, since it always stays in my grip truck, it doesn't really matter to me. I'll just have a super sturdy handle now.

If anyone wanted to get in on this and missed the opportunity, I have an un-opened set in Los Angeles. Price with shipping was $175.

Mine hasn't arrived yet!

Hong Kong Post tracking said it's arrived in the US.

USPS tracking said it left Hong Kong on the 17th at 4pm and was processed at SFO at 11pm on the 17th.

For the past two weeks it's said "We've received notice that the orgin post is preparing to dispatch this shipment" From what i've googled, USPS tracking is useless but it's concerning that everyone seems to have received theirs so quickly, and mine is lost in the postal system. I'll give it a few more days to see if it comes.
 
Mine are built like a tank!! I must have gotten the prototype before they mass produced them. Very heavy duty material, stainless steel shafts and heavy stainless handles. All of the fabric is tough and double stitched too. WOW!!

Can you please post some closed images.
 
Quick question for those of you who received your Squarebounce, since Nori is not responding to my emails.

Does it look like the fabric could be flipped / reversed?

I know some of us didn't want a silver version. But since the reverse side of the silver is black, it would be awesome if that black could be used.

Thoughts?
 
Got them, finally, well...


GREAT IDEA!!


BAD QUALITY PRODUCT!!


But of course I already was expecting it to be crap, you get what you pay for, always, well, almost always, RED is truly the EXCEPTION HERE!!
It is a cleaver idea, but there is BAD stitching, STAINS all over the Material, no matter if in or out on the reflecting surface, ITS BRAND NEW, you supposed to have a STAIN FREE item.


Good thing, I have plenty of CALIFORNIA BOUNCE Reflectors, and I'll be sure to stick to those, even so they are of course mu more expensive, they are currently the absolute Best Reflectors, Sun Spotters, Netting systems out there!!
