ANGLER BB Series BoomBox for Boweno Mount
Setting Up the BoomBox
- For Monolights and studio strobes with Bowens mounts, align the mounting tabs with the Bowens mount and insert the BoomBox into the Bowens mount. Turn the BoomBox clockwise until it locks.
- Open the BoomBox, and push the center ring over the shaft until it’s all the way in, just like an umbrella.
- Tip: You may find it easier to hold the base of the shaft through the side opening while pushing the center ring over it.
- BB-ST-1024-V2 and BB-ST-1255-V2 only: Adjust the BoomBox’s orientation by loosening the adapter ring’s thumbscrew and rotating the BoomBox. Tighten the thumbscrew until secure.
Optional
- To add the deflector to the BoomBox, screw the deflector extension into the center stem.
- Once it’s attached, slide the deflector plate onto the extension.
- Try experimenting with the curved side of the deflector facing out or in, and by varying the distance from the light source.
Attaching the Diffusers
The inner and outer diffusers add two levels of diffusion that soften and spread the light for an even and flattering effect. The diffusers can be used with or without the deflector plate.
- Attach the inner diffuser by attaching the diffuser’s touch-connect strips to the touch connect tabs inside the BoomBox.
- Attach the outer diffuser by pressing the touchconnect strips against the inner rim of the BoomBox.
Removing the BoomBox
To remove the BoomBox from a Bowens mount:
- Press the light fixture’s Bowens release.
- Turn the BoomBox counterclockwise and remove it from the light.
- If necessary, remove the diffuser, deflector, and extension. Then close the BoomBox by carefully pulling on the center ring.
Changing the Adapter Ring
Adapter Rings for Broncolor, Elinchrom, and Profoto are available separately. Make sure to use V2 (144 mm) adapter rings.
- Unfasten the zipper and pull back the fabric around the BoomBox adapter ring.
- Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws and washers, then remove the thumbscrew and washer.
- Remove the adapter ring from the BoomBox.
- Insert the replacement adapter ring.
- Replace the washers and screws. Make sure to insert the thumbscrew in the recessed hole. Tighten until secure.
