Cheap, light, plasticky, but useful.

The Alesis q25 small controller keyboard is, as the bannerline says, cheap, light and very plasticky. It feels a bit like it should come at the bottom of a very large box of cereal. Having said that, I have never had a moment's trouble with the thing. It has, over the last several years, served me very well. It has put up with being hauled through airports and hotel rooms, has put up with a lot of abuse, has survived a spill or two, and has generally proven itself to be a real trouper. I don't love the feel of the keys; its system of midi control is cabbalistic at best, and dysfunctional at worst (for easier control of complex softsynths, I might recommend the Alesis QX25, or better still Either the Arturia Analog Lab, or Arturia Analog Experience: The Player.) Having voiced those problems, for a straightforward controller for basic noodling, for on-the-fly composing, or trying out little lines, I can't find a bit of fault with this hardy little controller.

Cheap material and construction, but workable for the purpose of the purchase.

These bags do the job but they have absolutely no structure; both the fabric and the plastic are flimsy.  Even if you fold your identically-sized sweaters as precisely as shown in the picture, the bags are not going to look so even and squared when full (I am confident that they added cardboard to the bags in the photo).  As a result, they don't stack well.

So far they have held up fine to very light use.  Although the plastic is pretty flimsy and the zipper feels cheap, nothing has ripped yet.  I am using these to store out-of-size baby clothes so I've only opened them a few times each.

I like the fabric sides so that items can breathe.

The construction feels cheap, not as weighty as those I remember in my youth. That's not a 'bad' thing, per se. The plastic seems easily scuffed, even from only rubbing against the packaging. Eh, it serves its purpose.

Handy, but seems very cheaply made.  Helps around tight edges.

It does what it supposed to do - And for the price I'm not going to complain (much) but these things are cheaply made, not very durable, and folding them back up quickly for storage...? Yeah, forget that.

 It's designed to be 'collapsible" and fit back in it's cheap little travel bag after a shoot - No No NO, it doesn't - It's like trying to fold a king size mattress into the size of a magazine - and then trying to put it into a #10 envelope - It does collapse but it can take a few humorous minutes to get it done - I usually get a kick out of watching someone wrestle with the logistics of it. Even better when the "pro" photographer steps up to the plate to show us neophytes how it's done - And then the PRO loses the first few rounds -

Ideal for interior studio set up where it can remain set up without having to be broke down - It can be clamped to a C Stand with a quality clamp - Those flimsy plastic reflector arms/holders might let you cheat inside - But outside, use caution as a simple breeze or even a sneeze can send it sailing to different zip codes. You will need to sandbag and rig it right - As a handheld it is okay for stationary - Def not a run and gun reflector.

I snag a few of these a year, use them til' they won't fold down anymore and then I simply trim them up for makeshift reflectors so they're def versatile - The last one allowed me to make several reflector boards, as I simply trim the fabric to size and clip them to precut pieces of foamcore board with clothespins. Scraps come in handy too -

Priced right to be expendable - Grab a few, use them and then improvise with the scraps.

They are plastic so they are cheap to say the least. However they work and that's all that really matters.

Inexpensive, does a good job, light to carry, value for the $$.

These don't cost much, and once you receive them you realize why. Holding the super-light aluminum(?) tubes lighter than a plastic ball-point isn't exactly like holding a pen. Also, they feel an inch short of what would be ideal for me. If your hands are big, they'll probably be too short.  But they work, and the price is so low that you can hardly expect anything more.

These are cheap little things that might do in a pinch.  You get what you pay for

Ehhhhh, its ok for what it is, seems a bit cheap, but for the price who can complain. Not very useful for full out hiking but great for a walk in the park or a simple trip as I would not want to carry this over 5 miles.

Cheap Materials, bends easily, but does mount as intended and serves its purpose.

It works.  Kind of flimsy.  Plastic parts.  Get what you pay for.

Low quality, but for this cheap of a price what do you expect?

OK and useful, but nothing eye-widening, profound, or spectacular.

I wanted a small setup to take product shots with a continuous white background and/or with glass (black or white) as a reflective surface underneath.

This was in stock as opposed to the Fotodiox one and the reviews were decent.

This is not very sturdy as the arms are thin plastic - so be careful with it.  I also wouldn't really call it "portable" as I feel like it'd be more work than it's worth to take it down, move it, and reassemble it.  It would have been better if the legs were hinged and could lock/unlock into place.  That would make teardown/setup much simpler.  Even a thin gauge metal (think Erector set) would have felt much more sturdy.

Yes, the included binder clips work to hold the paper in place, but it is almost like a slap in the face considering the price paid.  All the cheap-feeling components remind you of this fact, but the paper and binder clips are the worst offenders.

I'm very careful with my things but unfortunately some of the plastic tabs broke off as I removed the cover for the fluorescent light.  It still snaps back in, but with less "teeth".

Overall it certainly does the job, but I wouldn't move it around.

Very thin plastic, but hey, it didn't cost much either.
