Reflector Panel Lastolite Circular Bottletops 5 – 76.2 cm (30") gold/orange/silver/white

Lastolite Circular Bottletops 5 is a 76.2 cm (30") circular reflector that offers five surface options — gold, orange (Sunfire), silver, white and a combined configuration — in a single, lightweight kit. Designed for portrait, product and outdoor photography, this collapsible 750 mm diameter reflector provides flexible control over colour temperature, contrast and fill light. The elasticated covers slip on quickly to change the reflective surface without the need for extra tools, and the taut professional finish delivers consistent light shaping with either natural or strobe illumination.

Advantages

The reflector sets up in seconds and collapses to approximately one third of its diameter for compact storage and easy transport. Multiple surfaces are provided in a single bag, eliminating the need to carry several separate reflectors. The lightweight construction adds no significant load to camera bags or lighting kits while maintaining a taut, professional finish for predictable light behaviour. The simple slip-on covers make switching between gold, orange, silver and white surfaces fast and convenient during shoots.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography to add warm or neutral fill and accent light
• Product and e-commerce shoots for controlled highlights and contrast
• Outdoor location work where portable, quick light modification is required
• Studio setups as a secondary reflector for shaping catchlights and reducing shadows

How to use

Unfold the reflector and extend it to its full diameter. Choose the desired surface by slipping the elasticated cover over the frame: gold or orange for warming and colour accent, silver for increased contrast and specular highlights, white for neutral fill and softening. Position the reflector relative to the subject and light source to control fill, reduce shadows or create catchlights. For handheld use, grip the frame at the edge; for longer sessions, mount the reflector on a stand or have an assistant hold it. After use, collapse the frame by twisting or folding according to the manufacturer’s folding technique and store the reflector and covers in the supplied bag.

Usage recommendations

Use the gold or orange surfaces to introduce warmer tones for skin or product highlights, the silver surface when stronger contrast or brighter specular reflections are desired, and the white surface for neutral, soft fill. When working outdoors, position the reflector to fill shadows opposite the main light or to bounce sunlight into shaded areas. Avoid placing reflective surfaces too close to delicate finishes to prevent unwanted hot spots; test positioning and distance to achieve the intended effect.
