Overview

The Lastolite by Manfrotto TriGrip Mini Reflector solves a common on-location problem: how to hold a reflector and a camera at the same time. Its triangular frame includes a molded handle with an integrated strap, allowing photographers to grip and aim the 45cm reflective surface with one hand while shooting with the other. This makes it particularly valuable for solo portrait sessions, run-and-gun editorial work, and product photography where hiring an assistant or setting up a stand would slow things down.

The dual-sided surface offers Sunfire on one side — a warm, golden bounce that flatters skin tones and mimics late-afternoon light — and Silver on the other, which delivers a brighter, more neutral fill. Switching between them is as simple as flipping the reflector over. When the shoot wraps, the TriGrip Mini twists down to roughly a third of its open diameter, small enough to slip into most camera bags. The trade-off for that portability is coverage area: the 45cm size works well for tight compositions but will not fill or flag light across a wider frame. For photographers who already own a full-size reflector, this mini version serves as a fast, always-in-the-bag complement for close-up work and detail shots.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Ergonomic molded handle with strap allows comfortable, accurate one-handed positioning
  • Dual Sunfire/Silver surfaces provide both warm and cool bounce options in a single reflector
  • Collapses to one-third of its open size for easy storage in a camera bag
  • Lightweight and portable enough for location shoots without needing a stand or assistant
  • Triangular grip shape gives more directional control than standard round reflectors

👎 Cons

  • 45cm diameter is too small for anything beyond headshots and close-up detail work
  • No diffusion or black-side option included — only Sunfire and Silver surfaces
  • Handle design means it cannot be easily clamped to a standard reflector holder or bracket
  • Twist-fold collapsing mechanism can be tricky to master the first few times

Frequently Asked Questions

One side is Sunfire, which produces a warm golden-toned bounce light, and the other side is Silver, which delivers a bright, neutral-to-cool reflection. You flip the reflector to switch between them.
Yes. The TriGrip's molded ergonomic handle with strap is specifically designed so a photographer can grip and position the reflector with one hand while shooting with the other.
It folds down to roughly a third of its 45cm open diameter, making it compact enough to slide into a camera bag or carry-on.
The 45cm size works well for tight headshots and close-up detail work. For full-body or wider portrait setups, you would want a larger reflector from the TriGrip range.
The TriGrip handle is designed for handheld use. While not intended for stand mounting out of the box, third-party clamps can secure it to a light stand in a pinch.
