Refer to the previous images on page 1 of this guide figure 1, figure 2 and figure 3. 
 
Figure 1 shows the S Type Speedring with the lugs that are used to secure the softbox to any compatible S Type flash 
head. Note that the two of the four rod holders that connect the rods to the Speedring are shown in their raised 
position (two are hidden). The raised position is used to aid assembly of the softbox and you will see the different rod 
holder positions  in figure 2. 
 
Figure 2 shows the other side of the Speedring (this is the side that goes inside the back of the softbox) showing the 
four rod holders. One of the rod holders is in the raised position (you will find it easier to assemble your softbox with 
the holders in the raised position) and the others are in the normal position (the position that all rod holders will be in 
when you have assembled your softbox). 
 
Figure 3 shows the view looking from the front of the softbox (with the diffusers removed) looking at the Speedring at 
the back. You will see that all 4 rods are in their holders and the holders are in their normal position. 
 

3. Assembly 

(you will find this easier using the floor as a flat surface) 

 

Open up the black outer cover and place on the floor and place the speedring with the S Type lugs facing downwards 
in the hole in the centre of the softbox cover (see figure 4 below). 

 

You will find it easier to rotate the Speedring so 
that the rod holders on the Speedring are each 
pointing toward a corner of the softbox. You 
will note that in each corner of the softbox is a 
material pocket and it is these pockets that 
each take the other end (the shiny bullet nosed 
end) of the softbox rods. There are three 
(stitched closed) pockets (see figure 5) and 
one that is open but subsequently closed by a 
strip of Velcro (see figure 6).  
 
Place the four rod holders on the Speedring in 
their raised positions (it will be a lot easier 
when they are raised) and insert one end of a 
metal rod (the non bullet nosed shiny end) into 
one of the rod holders (one of the three that 
point towards a stitched closed pocket as 
described above) and put the other end of the 
rod into that corresponding pocket (see figure 
5). The softbox is very flexible and will move 
about and you will also need to bend the rod to 
make it go into the pocket. Do not worry you 
will not break the Speedring, rod or cover when 
doing this. 
 
Repeat as above with the next two rods (the 
ones that will also go into the stitch closed 

corner pockets and finally do the same with the rod that goes into the corner pocket that you need to close with the 
Velcro strip (see figure 6).
