Traveling ideas

[pumpercaptain]

My wife and I will be traveling soon. Would like to take a couple umbrellas and small tripods with us for some portrait work, but since we are flying we may not get all that in a checked bag. What are some good alternatives to use with speedlights, if any? Have seen all kinds of configurations and products that mimic shooting thru umbrellas, soft boxes etc.


Suggestions?

Tks very much

5-in-1 reflectors.

I have one of these...it disassembles and folds down pretty flat.

But yes, a simple reflector/diffuser panel might be the easiest thing to pack.
