Reflector 3 Download

This portable reflector kit combines 2 reflectors in one bag. Bounce and diffuse sunlight in tandem, or use them separately. The diffusive panel softens shadows, while the two-sided reflective panel can be used to bounce in reflected, controlled light. Illuminator reflectors are made with the highest-quality double-laminated fabric and steel-riveted frames that are backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

When shopping for a reflector, first consider the color you want. The color of the reflector influences the quality and tone of the light. A diffuser stays between your light source and subject to create soft, evenly spread light. Check the product details for which reflector surface options are included.

Illuminator reflectors feature the highest quality double-laminated fabrics and diffusion silks. Their unique square shape provides more surface area than a round reflector. The reflectors' double-riveted sprung steel frames are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. They easily fold down to 1/3 of their open size for compact storage within the included travel case.

I am installing arch and I want to know whether reflector is important or not ? Reflector only uses local servers / mirror servers which are usually faster but I installed arch in virtualbox without reflector and I never got any problems with pacman and whatsoever and the speed was very fast. When I tried to use reflector in virtualbox I got error. I did `reflector -c India --sort rate > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`. I couldn't find the command in wiki so I got this command from youtube. I just want to know whether it is important to setup reflector or not.

@Alad

Is this a reply to my post or someone else's? Confused here as, as far as I'm concerned, I am not even using the --country flag or option. The latest changes have sort of "killed or broken" reflector for me.....

I can still do this

stef_204, you were asking reflector to get actual (empirically determined) speed metrics for 200 servers. That will take a long time as is really a huge bandwidth waste. You should prefilter a bit before sorting by rate. But until some relatively recent changes, it may have been quite a bit faster to do the same command because assessing mirror rate was done in parallel based on how many cpu cores you have. But you still retrieved data from 200 servers every time you ran reflector, and arguably that was not only excess, but a total waste as I've argued that parallel rate determination is unreliable - particularly when the number of threads is based just on $(nproc) - in many cases to the point of meaninglessness.

AFAIK, the mirror list backend already rates the mirrors. This is where the respective rating data in the JSON objects comes from.

So there's no need for each and every client to rate the mirrors again.

I think that this was a feature in reflector to allow users to fine tune the mirror list for their respective location and internet connection.

But whether such functionality is really worth the effort is indeed doubtful.

When I implemented speculum as an alternative to reflector, I refrained from implementing such a thing in the first place.

Btw, powerpill uses reflector internally to build a list of mirrors for parallel downloads, which is why the speed of the mirrors in the system mirrorlist is basically irrelevant when using powerpill. The versions and checksums are checked against the downloaded databases, and the packages are all signed, so the only thing that really matters is the accuracy of the databases.

I can't troubleshoot the root cause, but for some reason, when running under systemd (as of the current package), proper config of /etc/resolv.conf is needed for reflector. When running it stand-alone, /etc/resolv.conf is not needed.

The difference is that the latter would generate a traditional config of reflector with all Canadian mirrors, immediately followed by the Worldwide mirrors (consistently with pacman-mirrorlist). Note that, in the context above, "*" is not the same as "Worldwide". The latter is not meant to match any country, it is meant to be country agnostic.

Reflector ships with a reflector.service. The service will run reflector with the parameters specified in /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf. The default options in this file should serve as a good starting point and example.

pacman-mirrorlist is not updated regularly, invoking reflector only because some mirror in some part of the globe was added or removed is not relevant. Use instead the timer-based automation. If you do not want mirrorlist.pacnew to be installed at all, use NoExtract in pacman.conf.

I have a Photoflex arm to hold the large reflector. However, it is entirely cantilevered requiring a larger stand or weights on the stand. Are there mounts that hold the reflector in front of the stand?

Get a reflector clamp that mounts on a light stand, use an umbrella mount if you need to adjust it. Some of these won't open enough for the 5-in-1 models but there's usually a gap in the cover where you can clamp.

Or get a reflector boom arm that has a mount between the reflector clamps; this balances better than the cantilever style but won't reflect down. If you need down, use the extender arm perpendicular to the light stand and attach the reflector boom arm to it.

1) The clamps on the shaft offer minimal resistance to rotating and changing the angle of the reflector. The clamps just aren't strong enough to handle the moment arm of the reflector. Note that the reflector isn't positioned hanging down below the boom arm, it is parallel to the boom arm to the side

2) The reflector hanging out puts a lot of potential for tipping the stand. This is two part: first is the length of the end of the arm to reach the end of the reflector (say 45") and the second is it acts as a huge sail, making even a gentle breeze seem like a cyclone.

I was hoping there was something else that would hold the reflector at an angle but centered on the stand rather than off to one side. That way the legs of the stand would have a better chance of keeping it stable.

I also use a Photoflex Compact Telescopic Light Disc Holder. While it looks in the picture like a regular cantilever arm, you can swap the arm holder and disc clamp so the arm is held between the two clamps. Because it uses clamps, it provides a more stable hold and you don't have to worry about reflector thickness like you do with the clips.

Use an a spring tensioned "A" clamp to secure the reflector to the top of the stand and a Super Clamp plus grip head (Avenger D200 or MSE OR Kupo equivalent) lower down on the stand. If you want the reflector to be at something other than a vertical angle add a 20" or 40" C-stand arm to push it out from the stand. If you want the reflector to point downwards reverse the positions of the clamps.

If you want a reflector or diffuser to be held by a stand, buy one designed for that purpose: outer rigid frame with a mounting pin that is positioned and secured to the stand with a grip arm. I prefer rollers in this application for extra positioning ease:

Since your post I've been experimenting with it. With a carefully arranging the clamps I got it where it works as a central mount providing a swivel and 0 to 90 tilt. To get 0 to -90 it seems the reflector would have to be reversed and reflect through the stand and the arm. 2351a5e196
