Is it supposed to have an actual reflector? The one I got has a piece of paper inside the tube.

Mine came with just the white paper strip. It is there so the lite does not shine back at you. Still, too much lite comes back at you and makes it hard to see. Kind of stupid. I added strips of black electrical tape to block the lite. Even though this is a major flaw I like the lite. No more hot bulb burns and broken bulbs. Tape it up.

I never noticed a reflector being mentioned in the description of the light, when I purchased mine. Mine came with the same piece of paper that you mentioned. It can be irritating at times but, not enough for me to take the time to improvise by inserting a piece of aluminum foil or something similar.

No real reflector but the insert is good if it's white, and necessary during use.

I have tried several times with no luck. I have decided it 's not supposed to go back in. This reflector is made for the studio and not easily mobile. They are nice, but not really what I was looking for. I'm a little disappointed.

It is a small refractor telescpoe NO PRISM. NOT A VERY GOOD ONE EITHER. I HAVE ONE

Thank you for your inquiry. Most telescopes invert the image and this is acceptable when looking at objects in space - there isn't a right-side up when viewing celestial objects. A correct image diagonal can correct this in refractor type telescopes but the diagonal will not work on reflectors.

You would need a window (or mirror) so you can see the reflection of the image. The readout on the device is backwards.

Per the description, it's a fixed 500mm reflector with a 2x teleconverter that takes it up to 1000mm. :-)

It's the same as a pen-style laser. You can see the playing piece light up (a bit) and the reflection off of the mirrors. If you want to see the beam itself you would need some sort of particles in the air, like smoke.

The dish reflector is made out of metal. It reflects the satellite signal the best.

that would be not be economical i would suggest just buying a cooltube with no reflector. you can get them for half the price of this unit.

This should not negatively effect the reflectors ability to bounce light. My reflector is wrinkled up except for when I use it and I have never experienced any issues with the wrinkled reflectors ability to properly light my subject.

The light source is fixed, and there is a refractive disc moving in a planetary motion while rocking side to side. It looks very realistic to my eye, though your experience may be different. Abco Tech's customer service was beyond reproach when I contacted them with an issue with my unit. I dare say you will not be disappointed with the projector, but if you are, they'll make sure you're a happy customer in the end.

yes, there is a built in umbrella mount that you can mount a reflector on. it also has a adjustable light stand holder.

The one that I have leaves a black ring on the outer edges of the picture. It is something inside of the telescopic lens that has the defect. However, I did only pay $12 for it and you get what you pay for.

It does, but not big enough to carry all of the components in the kit. I bought this a few months ago and like it for it's economy, but it comes with a carrying case big enough to put the reflector, it's wire frame and diffusers in and that's about it. The light socket, stand and bulbs would not fit in it alone or together. If you're going to be transporting this a lot, it's pretty light duty and would take much care. Hope that helps.

Make sure you (a) put the sticky (green/dark) side down; (b) peel off the white protective cover as you apply the reflector. The white paper is NOT reflective, it protects the reflective material so you have to take it off as you apply the sticker. If you did that right, you would know it because these are super reflective. Oh - when you are really close to the sticker, you can't see the reflection. Take 15 steps back and shine a flashlight at it, you'll see how well it works.

actually, i think it is a reflection. mine was in mint condition. i see what you mean in the pic, but there is a similar sized line above it that makes me think a reflection. it is a fairly reflective surface. you can see that by the reflection of the doors of the building in the pic too. i have been really happy with mine. i got it in june.

No, it is just a tube with lenses and light. However, works well, I like it.
