 p.1 #7 · Interfit Flexi-Lite reviews? | |
Sorry for the delay on the update. I've got the large interfit flexi-lite panel. Initially I was pleased with it. Seems relatively strong, very simple/quick to open up, etc. That said, when I took it out the first time, I noticed a (rust?) stain on the brand new white diffusion fabric AND on the white side of the reflector fabric. I emailed interfit, got a very quick response, but then received one (not two) fabrics in the mail....and even then, it was for the smaller sized panel they offer. I emailed them again, and got correct/stain-free fabrics a few days later. I went to pull the stained fabrics out of the included bag...and then the zipper broke off in doing so.
So....the panel itself is okay, but I do worry about the longevity of everything given my experience thusfar. There's a bit of play in all the plastic joints, but I don't think it'll lead to breakage, as much as a bit of movement in the reflector itself. Maybe that bit of give will help it avoid being such an intense sail as so many diffusion panels are. Also, in good news....the fabrics are much tighter (more taut?) than they look in the pictures, which is nice as it'll allow the reflector to be more efficient and accurate.
So, overall I think it'll be a decent product but by no means could it be better than the calfornia sunbounce....and I think in the end I may just hold out on buying more until I've got enough money to go with something a little more pricey but with a better build quality (probably a CSB in the end...sigh.)
Oh, and Carmen....I 100% agree about staying away from their c-stand. Given it's almost the same price as an avenger/matthews equivalent, I wouldn't touch the interfit version of the c-stand with a 10 foot pole.
