It is quite clear that V-Flats are amazing light weight, small footprint light modifiers. But what is not mentioned enough in my opinion is how transportable they are. All V-Flats come standard in their own moisture and dust resistant zip-lock bag and FREE cotton carrying tote! Set up in a make shift studio is super easy with the black and white hook & loop connectors, and once set up, they are easily moved due to their manageable weight. Shipping is fast and packing is very secure and the customer service department is quick to respond and very helpful. I am looking forward to using these boards in many of my shoots.

Nothing quite like a huge white wall for bounce. This provides that wall wherever you go--and in a very transportable package. Love it!
Eileen H.
Kelbyone is where I first heard about V-flat.
It is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
Chanda D C.
Amazing customer support!

The ability to add in the light and subtract the light with this product is great, but I find the set up is extremely difficult. I have a small studio, and I am also short. I watched the videos and the guys make it look so simple, but at 5'1", its not that easy. The velcro does not hold tight either. There is always a gap between the 2 sides. I have an older black/white one (maybe 3 months old, and 1 newer one. The newer one seems better made than the previous. Not really happy with the products. Its also way too pricey.

Elegant self contained solution for fill, block out or a quick walk. Sized to fold and fit in my SUV for location work. Includes a carry bag with handles that fit over the shoulder.
Kellie H.
I have made my own v flats for years. I decided to buy the v flat to make transporting easier. It works great as a reflector but requires too much editing post to remove the seams when used as a backdrop .The Velcro barely holds it together and it pops apart when I move or reposition the v flat. Would love it if you came up with a solution for that
Tim B.
The v-flat arrived and I put it right to use shooting a number of headshots. Usually I use a fill light, but the v-flat added the perfect amount of fill reflected from the key. The shots came out great! Setup was a breeze and the product is very well designed… including the carry bag. Now I want to get some smaller panels for my tabletop/product photography.
Antonio I.
Love the v-flat. I had made one with cheap stuff but it didn't last very long, so I sought out the real deal. Very worth it.
Valerie T.
I still need to practice a little more, I feel it’s a great investment for anyone that wants to improve their business.
Amanda V.
I appreciate the timely shipping & excellent customer service. I love the product & it is so helpful. Does the trick.
Dave Y.
A small indentation on the one fold inside.
Russell B.
Easy to setup and use in all lighting conditions!

As a content creator who needs to be constantly producing new content, I love the effortlessness of my v-flat. It is so much better than the cumbersome pieces of foam core that I used to use, which constantly fell over and were hard to work with. I have been using my v-flat almost daily, and it has made my life so much easier! Thank you so much!
Maisam O.
Although I like the concept it keeps toppling over which defeats the purpose. This needs weighted legs that can be attached to keep it in place. Also when stored , I thought I could fold it so that the black side is showing but only folds so that the white side is showing. As a result I have to keep it in its bag so I don’t have this obnoxiously bright white thing in my living room.
kimberly r.
easy to use, very well made- sturdy and great value for the price! very happy!
Sarah S.
Shipping was fast, item arrived perfectly. It’s a very useful item and I can’t wait to utilize it more.
Langston H.
Good Negative Fill and Reflective Fill, Used it also as a Chin Fill. Very Versatile
Darin B.
I bought one to see if the VFlat works; it does, I’m going to order another one! I highly recommend this product if you have a studio!
Megan B.
Love that I can also use it as a background and it’s mobile!
Angel L.
Got my 2nd Vflat just this past week for a NBA Dance team photoshoot and they’re a game changer! Love these!
Abbi G.
The original order had an error and it was immediately fixed. Thanks for the great customer service and fast shipping!
Nicholas B.
I like the idea of this backdrop but 2 factors really let it down for me:
1. Its just 4 large pieces of foamcore board taped together, so I do not know why its $200.00.
2. Because its foamcore board, it dents EXTREMELY easily. Mine arrived with a nice dent and its unfixable.
That being said, its nice to shoot with. I do not dislike using it, the quality is just pretty underwhelming for the big price.
Jamie R.
I ordered a v-flat because most of the photographers I admire utilizes them. I’ve always wondered how their images were very contrasted. It was my first time using it, I loved it!
Mr. B.
The v flat worked wonderful and was packaged well, there were a few compression marks on arrival but way less than expected given the nature of the material
Michael S.
Great way to add fill light for portraits!
Crystal F.
I bought my first black and white foldable v flat and loved it so much I had to purchase a second one. It arrived quickly but when I opened it, I found it to be damaged. I called customer service to ask how I could get a new one and they sent me on free of charge! It arrived 2 days later in perfect condition! Your customer service is amazing and on top of that, the v flat is an amazing product. I'm using it as a backdrop to shoot models wearing my jewelry and love the way the backdrop plays such a part in allowing the model and product to take center stage. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking to create their own photo studio!
Thomas V.
It is a great idea, but mine arrived somewhat warped. I have yet to get them to seal properly. There is always light leaking through. I really wanted to love them, but they are just meh... They will do in a pinch, but I was hoping they would be a go to for me moving forward.
Rick V.
Arrived in perfect condition (nice packaging). This is perfect for me to bounce my big light into so it can diffuse light for large (and soft) video shoots.
Angie M.
First v flat arrived, and sadly had some shipping damage. It wasn't to the degree of making the v flat unusable, but I shared the information with V Flat World just so they were aware (they pack these things superbly, it was not their fault it was slightly damaged). Beyond my expectations, they sent me a replacement immediately at no charge.
Above and beyond! This is how you create loyal clients. Thank you! I love it already!
Nikola Dechkov D.
The product arrived scuffed in 2-3 places and the material/ v flat board pushed in, but generally is great and serves the purpose it’s supposed to serve. Also I guess with shipping this is something that you should expect, not always a perfect condition.
Kaitie G.
This was exactly what I was looking for and is so much better than I expected! I am enjoying learning how to use it in different ways!!
Daniel Q.
I got this for a birthday present, he loved it so much, he cried when he seen the vflat logo! Thank you!
Imthiaz H.
The product came with a sticky/dirty spot on it which now has to be photoshopped out if it’s in the frame. Overall it’s a great product, but a little disappointed in the dirty spot. I would assume the v-flats would be perfect for the amount of money you have to pay.
Daniel S.
The panels are effectively foamcore with some Velcro and hinges but they’re super portable modifiers and useful for both my photography as well as video. Pretty happy with it overall!
Lisa W.
Love it! Can’t wait until I can purchase my second one!
Jayme P.
Make sure to check the size before buying! It’s huge and not very well constructed. We do product photography and the V-Flat ended up being far too big for the small studio that we have. I contacted V-Flat World about returning or exchanging and they said they don’t’ accept returns. Extremely disappointing!
Corey T.
I am a traveling photographer this past weekend I used the V-Flat for the first time for an outdoor session and the photo came out as if I was inside a studio!
SHAYAN H.
The V-Flat is an extremely versatile tool for any size studio, other than being perfect for fill light, it can also be used as a creative backdrop.
Liza C.
The V-Flat is great. It is easy to transport which is a big deal. Customer service is stellar. My first order arrived damaged and they immediately took care of it and shipped me a new one. Great comany and product all around.
John K.
I thought the product would be much more sturdy. It really doesn't come together seamlessly. There was also a piece of sticky adhesive on one side that will not come off.
It's also not really workable in a small studio- just a bit too big. On location or a larger studio that aspect of issues will be solved.
I also expected some sort of insert type feet at the bottom- so If I wanted to open both sides to one large flat piece I could. Not can't do that now without grip stands or 25 pound sand bags at the bottom to do it.
I hope you guys make some of these improvements!
Jennifer W.
I plan on ordering another
Michael H.
One of the corners was squashed, and the velcro that holds the two sides together isn't that strong. Sometimes the sides fall down when the velcro doesn't hold.
Monte C.
I love how I pretty much have a portable back drop and also can flag and add fill light
Lacey B.
Love it! Customer service is amazing. I was hesitant because I thought I could make my own, but this quality is way better than mine!
Sarah D.
I love the variety this will provide within a simple backdrop setup! I'm excited to use it more!!
Sean R.
For long time I've heard many photographers speak about valets. And now I know why Vflat is the V in versatility
Jean-Marie C.
Easy to use and travel with on location. This is a real great plus for me who does a lot of onsite work. JMC
Melvin W.
Sleek....Easy to set up....A great product! Can't wait to use it this weekend!
Pierre J.
I know it has the potential to be great for me and my creativity. I was a little frustrated with how it arrived. So this being damaged, is only reason it’s not five stars
Chris B.
Fantastic customer service. My V-Flat was damaged during delivery. I contacted customer support with photos and they had a new V-Flat sent out to me right away. I have been using it for video lighting adjustments, and it is exactly what I needed.
Brian L.
Lightweight and works great.
Ashtin S.
It came in dinged up from shipping, but I tried it today and it was great!
Tina B.
Exactly what I wanted.
Melissa M.
These are amazing. I can do clean cut headshots on location now. I also plan to have se as reflectors. I love the travel bag. Great purchase!
Marina G.
Great customers service, the product is great, justice as described, thank you!
Tracy S.
As a makeup artist I have worked countless studios, all using some form a V-flats. It did not take long to see the quality difference. Now that I am shooting again I knew exactly what equipment I wanted and would not settle for anything less than this amazing product. The versatility and stow and go features are perfect. It keeps studio space tidy and on the go connivant.
Their customer service is quick to respond and always has great feedback and support. I highly recommend V-flat World the quality is top notch.
amanda w.
I ordered a V-Flat which ultimately had a very rough delivery and arrived damaged. I reached out to V-Flat World asking how I could send it back for a replacement. I was told to keep it and they sent another. Excellent service! I have used the V-flat a couple of times so far for portraits and it makes taking pictures in a non-studio setting so much easier. I ordered two duo boards as well which I haven't had a chance to use quite yet, but they look amazing and I am anxious to try them out.
Bill A.
Awesome product, even better customer service.
Lori P.
the V-flat actually came warped, but, customer service issued a new one to be shipped immediately... I couldn't be happier with the product, the results I am able to achieve, and the stellar customer service.
Mark L.
I love my portable V-flat. I bought this because I wanted to shoot against a white or black background. It's so much faster than setting up seamless paper. I bought this v-flat and it did have some marks on it. I contacted customer support and they shipped out a new v-flat right away. Their customer service is amazing! I love my V-flat and it saves me so much time. I highly recommend this product.
Grace T.
I would have given this 5 stars, but the V-Flat came crushed on the ends. I sent them an email about it and never heard back. Here is a tip V-Flat: place plastic triangle covers on the ends of V-Flat prior to shipping!
Tim G.
The Vflat is great, The logo design on the bag is not.
Ken B.
I initially gave a one star review, not because of the product, but because i received 2 out of 3 damaged in shipment. I have had an exchange of emails with V-Flat World and they have recognized some deficiencies and have offered me good solutions to overcome the problem. Adorama has also been good about addressing the problem and offering solutions. From both the manufacturer and the seller I have received acceptable solutions and a desire to please. A five star is a great rating but this five star is more meaningful based on the effort to satisfy me.
Thomas S.
Great item - nice to be able to stand them up without needing C-stands etc - the referable white and black make it very easy to add or remove light - being able to fit a 4x8 V in a vehicle for location work makes with even more worth the price
William J.
haven't fully used it on a lot of projects yet but it doubles amazingly as a white background setup for product shots too.
Sandra B.
My V-Flats arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition! They are easy to use, sturdy, and photograph beautifully. I am not the crafty type, so making my own is something I've tried and have not been successful with. These were the answer for me and well worth the investment. I photograph many different genres in my small studio so I don't have a lot of room for more "stuff". The fact that these fold up nicely and come with a protective bag make them so easy to store that it was almost a no-brainer.
Jefferson L.
I’m really loving how I can turn into a background, use it to fill shadow or add more shadows, and also as a changing room lol. I’m loving it.
John
I tried making a DIY v-flat but just became frustrated after a few attempts; none came out as solid as these. They are solid and well-assembled, but sure are pricey. I would have continued my DIY attempts if I had a smaller budget, as I'm sure many other photographers are doing after seeing the price of these.
Emily
They are easy to assemble and fit nicely in my car. The bag is super cute too!
Latoya
I must say this was definitely the best purchase I've made thus far in regard to Photography equipment. I also came back and made another two (2) purchases. Oh btw I LOVEEEEE THE BAG... Thank you very much
Inna
Love it! It's versatile, good quality and light. Can't wait to take it on locations. Test at home went great :)
Ross M
I waited far too long to buy these professionally made V-Flats. Serious thought was put into the subtle deign of these and make it worthwhile to purchase from V-Flat World. I'm so glad I didn't try to make these myself. Thank you!!
Dan B
From the moment I first used a foam core reflector in a studio I knew I wanted my own but I couldn't figure out how I was going to carry a massive piece of foam core around with me for day to day use. Then I stumbled across V-Flat world and I couldn't believe my luck. I decided to ask my wife to get me one for Christmas. I can't put it away. I want to use it on every shoot. It's so easy and versatile. Especially used as a backdrop for headshots along with 1 light. It doubles as a background and a fill light. It's just amazing. I also love the fact that it comes with a carry bag. It helps to protect my V-Flat when travelling or even just storing it. I will definitely buy another one in the near future.

I bought a pair of black/white V-Flats and I'm glad I did. I have used the white sides as reflectors to add a large, soft light source. I have used the black sides to increase contrast on my subjects. I have used them as large flags to control light contamination. I have used both the white and black sides as quick backgrounds for headshots. Folded, they fit nicely in my Toyota RAV4 and they come with a carrying bag that protects them, so I've been able to take them on location. And they store nicely behind my TV stand at home. My only complaint is the gap between the boards can be tricky to close when fully opened, but it's manageable.
Todd H
These are excellent well made v-flats allowing you to bounce or restrict light and SO well made. The sale on the double set with the carry bags is an excellent deal. I know these can be made, but not like these. They will last a long time!
Saidat K
I had diy vflats that is made from foam core. They were bulky and took 2 people to set them up and tape together. I got so tired of this. I had been watching videos on v flats and decided to give it a go before Christmas when they went on sale. Oh my goodness! They are perfect! Easy to set up, with just me, have so many uses. I love them. Why did I wait so long? Absolutely the best product to enhance my lighting!
Chaz D
My wife knew I wanted these and bought them for me as a surprise gift and i love her for it. I work in a lot different environments and VFlats are one of the most useful and must have tools I use as a photographer. They can be used in so many ways and the best part is, they are portable and can be taken anywhere. They have made my life as a Photographer so much easier. Thank You VFlat World!!!
David W
I have a set of two of the black & white V-Flats and use them on nearly every studio session. I use them as a backdrop on individuals and couples. They are also handy to reflect light on the shadow side of my clients, but I also use them to block off light. What I really like is that they are easy to fold up and store, when you need the room.
M. D.
These Vflats allow me to have the look that I want when I go on location and not compromise with a shorter or narrower reflector that just doesn’t wrap light around the way vflats do. Even if I had a home studio, I wouldn’t go back to the styrofoam ones that fell apart and left pieces everywhere everytime you moved them. And they come with black carrying storage bags too!
Maxim
I bought a pair of V-Flats and can't express how useful and amazing they are. It's an absolute must for every professional photographer to have this kit in the studio for a smooth photo shoot.
Tyler
I purchased this some time back and let me tell you my photography has changed ever since! I love the way I’m able to control light with utilizing these v-flats. I highly recommend these to all photographers. They are very durable, plus they are super portable and come with a very nice carrying bag!
Hector C
I love the v-flat because is so versatile! It helps me control light by blocking, adding or subtracting from my subject. It is also lightweight, so you can carry it with you everywhere !! In addition, you can use it as a background add some gels and your possibilities are endless!!
Kapu P
These are perfect to take on location. They fold well. I love the carrying bags. I dinged mine on the first day....was very sad...but I guess they will function. This was because I underestimated the clearance at the site I was shooting. So sharing this for the rest of you to be extra careful.
The customer service is amazing. I ordered and got mine in less than 36 hours.
Charleen K
I am very impressed with the remarkable customer service provided by VFlat World. There was an issue with my initial order and they took care of it immediately. The quality of the vflat is very good and I am extremely pleased with my purchase and overall experience. I really like the bag they sent to store my vflat in! It’s just an added touch to the overall experience. Thank you once again ❤️
Laura P
The V Flat is a great value. This saved me a lot of time in trying to make one on my own. I also like the way it folds down and the added carrying case makes it easier to transport to an off-site location. I'm using it as a backdrop as well as a reflector in studio but can use it as a full body reflector for outdoor portraits. The only reason I give this product 4 stars instead of 5 is the white velcro tabs that are visible on the black side. I will need to cover these with gaffers tape or fix in post.
Darrell
Quick delivery and setup ready to go out of the box. thinking of buying more and adding texture and color to them
Sam
V-flats are a critical item to have in a photo studio because of all they have to offer, but they are horrible to try to make, the fall apart, and their size make them a giant pain in the ass and eyesore to stow.
V-Flat World showed up on the scene and solved every one of those problems. It's truly a game-changer. I can throw 2 of these bad larrys in my car, no problem (and yes, you should buy the set of 2) and I've got light bounce, light absorption, window light blockage, a black or white backdrop for a headshot, an under-the-chin reflector, or even a wall for people to make wardrobe changes behind, if need be.
Additionally, it is now roughly 792x easier to get a perfectly even, pure-white backdrop for my commercial headshots than it was in the past. Not only is my backdrop exposure easier to manipulate, but I get basically zero spill onto my subject.
I get how it feels like $200 for a glorified piece of foam core, but A.) these would cost almost the same amount to make, B.) they still won't be as good and you'll hate your life trying to do it, C.) no one else out there is making them, and D.) value isn't just about cost of raw materials of a product, but about how much easier that product makes your life.
All this long-windedness to say, if you're a studio photographer, YOU NEED THESE. Stop putzing around and bite the bullet bub.
Juls B
This vflat changed everything! I am so glad I have it and have been using it as backdrop and a light reflector often
Gerald A
I love my set of VFlats.... They are super easy to setup and takedown. Super easy to store after use and also very portable. They are well made with good material so with proper care should last for a long time. Thank you for such a wonderful product.

Pros: Fast Ship...Fast Arrival
love that they fold.
Love that they come with a bag that holds two sets.
Love the Velcro and easy setup.
Like The sturdy design.
Cons: Don’t love the height. I understand the shipping savings, but too many clients are too tall for them to be used with the client standing.
Don’t love that they arrived with dents and slightly messed up corners from shipping. I have a feeling these will show wear and tear quickily even from careful use.
More pros than cons is my overall impression...just not perfect...especially for the money.
Chaz W
I absolutely LOVE my V-Flats! I wish I'd bought them both at the same time and saved some money but I started with one and quickly realized I wanted a second one. The set up is quick and I'm able to do it easily by myself. Sometimes I use one as a backdrop and one as a reflector, sometimes I use them both to make a larger backdrop to accommodate groups or to make a shooting cove with the black sides and concentrate my light. There are so many ways to use these in studio and out. When I use them on location, they are easy to transport and set up on site - much better (and faster) than lugging a backdrop stand and seamless paper! Great product!
Ken G
Simple to use. Easy to set up. Easy to store. Brilliant!
Harry F
Love working with these v flats!! They work just like on the video!! Highly recommend them
Janet W
Love this to take on location. Folds up into carrying case
Tim
First, the customer service is extraordinary. Going above and beyond to help me get my order on time. I was seriously impressed with how committed they were about ensuring my order was delivered and tracked.
The product is solid. Easy to use and easy to move. It unfolds in seconds and is ready to go. The how to use videos online are spot on.
Only thing I would add is a hardened protective edging to help prevent crunching the edges and corners.
The provided carrying case makes it even more convenient to move and travel with. I put the whole box into the carrying case and put the vflat back into the box.
Awesome product !!
Tim
I am an on-location portrait photographer. I used to carry those DIY large foam boards with me to my sessions. They would fill up a van size and so hard to carry around. When I saw V-flat it is a no brainer! I bought set of 2 immediately. They are folderable and easy to carry. Quality is excellent. I also love reading their articles on set-up tips. There are so many different ways using the products to create that artistic looks you have been looking for. I love both the products and the resources they provide. Highly recommend!
