The Reflectasol (Larson) is the fastest to set up, umbrella style. That said, you can get what it does for less, of course. Matter of fact, it's just a fabric reflector.
There are e.g. Photoflex' or ($ 150) Calumet's frames with legs and crossbar.

thanks. i guess after you buy the frame and fabric from photoflex, you're close enough to the price of the larson that you might as well buy the real thing.

Weren't you just spending the last few days hyping the Larson? Seems like a no brainer.

I like to make stuff. Silver and gold material from the fabric store (on sale), PVC pipe, and the wife's sewing machine. I probably spent $60 or so. Holes in the base allow for tent stakes when it's windy.

Thanks rico. The top and bottom have a sewn loop for the frame and the sides have grommets for elastic cord used in tent poles to keep in taunt.

I've got a couple of the Interfits, I've tried (and built) the frame style, and I've got several of the twist-o-flex type, but it's still true that nothing beats the Larson for speed and compactness.
