Assemble the Softbox to the Connector
1.
Place the softbox with all four rods into their sleeves on a flat,
clean surface.
2. If closed, open all four Quick Release Corners (QRC). Pull
Velcro
®
tab open at each corner so that rods extend freely.
(Not available on extra small or small SilverDome.)
3. Notice that the connector has nine receptacle holes, three of
which are “tapped”. The small, medium, large and extra large
SilverDomes only use four of the eight octoconnector rod
holes. (The remaining four holes are for use with the
OctoDome
®
, Photoflex’s
eight
rod softbox.) Current model
OctoConnectors use circle icons ( ) for OctoDomes and
squares icons ( ) for rectangular SoftBoxes.
4. Position the connector at the center of the softbox and insert
the first rod into one of the rod receptacles.
NOTE: If you are planning on using the ShoeMount hardware
(AC-B222SM) with this assembly, make sure that one of the
large tapped holes is centered between two inserted rods.
5. Insert the second rod into the hole diagonally opposite the
first hole.
6. Insert the third and fourth rods.
7. Push the rod into place with your thumb.
8. While pushing the rod into place, pull the QRC flap over rod
tip and secure.
9. Repeat this process with remaining corners.
10. The rear flaps close by pulling flaps toward the connector
and attaching with the Velcro tabs sewn onto each flap.
NOTE: For proper dome shape to be achieved all rods must be
pushed in completely.
