Setting Up the Softbox
-
Set the softbox facedown on a flat and stable surface.
-
Open the softbox vents so you can securely grip each rod.
-
QO-DP26-V2, QO-DP36-V2, and QO-DP-48-V2: Locking opposing rods will keep even pressure on the fabric. Use both hands to lift opposing support rods until they click in place.
QO-DP60-V2: Locking four opposing rods will make it easier to lift and lock the remaining rods. Use one hand to grip a rod, and your other hand to brace the mount. Lift four opposing rods until they click in place. Then lock the remaining rods.
-
Once all the rods are locked in place, insert the Bowens speed ring into the Bowens mount of your monolight, and rotate until it locks.
-
Rotate the softbox to the preferred orientation. Lock it in place by tightening the thumbscrew.
-
Close the vents to prevent light leaks.
Using the Diffusers
The inner and outer diffusers soften and spread the beam for an even and
flattering wraparound light.
Note: Each diffuser will reduce the light output by approx. 1 stop.
Attaching the Inner Diffuser
The inner diffuser is the smaller of the two and has snap fasteners around its edge. Attach each of the snaps to the ones on the softbox interior until the diffuser is taut.
Attaching the Outer Diffuser
Attach the outer diffuser by pressing the touchconnect strip against the inner
rim of the softbox.
Note: If you plan on using the accessory grid (sold seperately), attach
the diffuser to the inner half of the touch-connect strip to leave enough room
for the grid.
Closing the Softbox
- Open the vents, and remove the softbox from the Bowens mount of your monolight.
- Place the softbox facedown on a flat surface.
- Lift up on each support rod while pressing the adjacent release lever. The support rods will fold down.
