Clic Softbox Octa Familiarize yourself with Clic
What is Clic?
Clic is our most lightweight and portable range of light shaping tools, specifically designed for the A-series flashes. The Clic range gives you diverse, easy to use and compact light shapers for all your needs on the go.
How does Clic work?
The Clic light shapers are mounted quick and easy due to the magnetic setup.
The mount has been designed using strong magnets attaching your flash firmly
to the light shaper. Note that there is always a possibility of knocking the
flash off when it’s affected by outer impact. When used in crowded areas, with
abrupt or abnormal movements, or repositioning the stand, please take extra
precautions and secure your flash.
And before you begin, get to know your Clic Softbox Octa!

important that each connection is mounted correctly.
