BASIS SERIES

promaster 8798 BASIS BR130D 14 Inch LED Ringlight Congratulations on your purchase of this ProMaster Basis BR130D LED Ringlight. It is a daylight-balanced light that is excellent for portraiture and many types of photography and videography in which a soft, direct light is desired.
Please read through this instruction manual to familiarize yourself with the features of this light so you can get the best results.

Using the Light

Mounting the Light: The BR130D is fitted with an industry-standard 5/8” light stand connector. This is identified as the Light Stand Mount (6) in the parts diagram. Loosen the Light Stand Connection Knob (7) before sliding the Light Stand Mount (6) onto a light stand, grip arm, flex arm, or another type of grip item fitted with a 5/8” male spigot or stud. Tighten the Light Stand Connection Knob (7) for a secure fit.

Attaching a Camera to the Light : Included with this kit is a camera connection bracket and two wingnuts. The bracket is shaped like an ‘L’. Align the slot in the camera connection bracket with the two Camera Bracket Connection Ports (9) on the back of the ring light. Insert both wingnuts through the slot and into the Camera Bracket Connection Ports (9). The portion of the camera connection bracket with a rubber pad and attachment screw should be oriented at the top of the bracket when you attach it to the light. The bracket can be mounted in one of two directions, with the top facing into the center of the ring light or with its top facing away from the back of the ring light. Use whichever direction will give your camera the most ideal placement within the ring light’s center. Loosen the wing nuts slightly and slide the bracket up or down for the most ideal placement of your camera.

Powering Up : Locate the AC cable included with the kit. Check to be sure the Power Switch (3) of the ring light is set to the OFF position. Attach the 2-pin, figure-8 connector of the AC cable to the AC Input Socket (4) on the Ringlight. Next, connect the 2-prong household connector on the AC cable to a standard household socket. Now press the Power Switch (3) to the ON position (right side of switched pressed in). The light will take a second or two to power up and illuminate.

Note : Always be sure the light is turned OFF before disconnecting the AC cable. Disconnect the AC cable from the household socket BEFORE disconnecting it from the AC Input Socket (4) of the ring light. Adjusting the Brightness: Locate the Dimmer Knob (5). Turn it clockwise to increase the brightness or counterclockwise to decrease the brightness.

Note : If you turn the Dimmer Knob (5) quickly, it may take a second or two for the light to change its brightness to match. Adjusting the Light’s placement: The Tilt Control Knob (8) can be loosened slightly to allow the ring light to be tilted up or down. The Light Stand Connection Knob (7) can be loosened slightly to allow the light to be rotated left or right. All other adjustments for placement of the ring light should be done with the particular stand or grip you have the ring light mounted to.
