Step #1:
Unpack your new Softbox and find th
e ring that serves as both the part that attaches the Softbox to your light, and as the holder of the four metal rods that serve as the form to stretch the Softbox fabric over. So set the ring on the ground as illustrated above, and place one metal rod into each of the four sockets on the ring as illustrated above. Be sure to insert the rods with the plastic rod covers pointing up.
Then, move down to step #2

Step
#3:
Now here's the part with which most folks have trouble. Pay close attention:
Once the rods have been inserted into all four corners of the fabric, you must them push each of the four sockets on the attachment ring down until it is parallel with the ground. As you push the rod sockets down towards the ground, you'll hear and feel a "click" that signals that the socket is locked into place. This will stretch your Softbox fabric tightly over the rods, and once all four sockets are locked into place, as illustrated above, your new Softbox is assembled and ready to go! When disassembling the Softbox, pull each socket on the ring outwards, which will unlock them, and allow for quick and easy disassembly.
|
| Once the Softbox
has been assembled, attach one or both of the white fabric screens,
and attach the Softbox to your light. See the section below for
a view of the inner workings of the Softbox. |
|
And finally, here's
two views of the Softbox, showing how to use the two fabric screens.
You can use the Softbox with only the outer screen attached,
or, as shown below on the right, with both the outer screen and
the optional inner screen. Depending upon your needs, you can
use no screens, you can use only one screen, or both screens.
Now go make some
wonderful images or videos with your new Softbox!
