OctoDome nxt —
For Hot Lights, Strobes or Cool Lights
Before assembling your OctoDome softbox, make sure all components
are present. You will need:
• OctoDome softbox
• Photoflex OctoConnector (to fit your light - sold separately)
• Eight rods
• Outer rear cowling patch (for small sixe only, not the extra small)
• Inner baffle
• Face diffuser
Note:
In most cases, the softbox connector is designed to connect with
your light head in the same manner as your light head’s
accessories. Make sure your OctoConnectoris the correct one
designed for your light.
Assemble the Softbox to the Connector
1. Place softbox face down on a flat, clean surface.
2. The connector has nine rod receptacle holes, three of which
are tapped. Current model OctoConnectors use circle icons ( )
for OctoDomes and squares icons ( ) for rectangular Softboxes.
Use the circle icons for your Octodome.
3. Position connector at the center of the softbox. The connector
front (with the rounded screw heads) Fig. 3 should face away
from the softbox and the connector back (with the bolt nuts)
should face into the softbox.
Inserting Rods into the Connector
Note:
Each corner of the connector has a rod receptacle hole. Some of
the holes are tapped but will be used.
4. Insert the first rod.
5. Insert the second rod into the hole diagonally opposite the
first hole.
6. Insert the third rod through the eighth rods
Attaching the Rear Cowling Patch
7. Position the rear patch assembly over the corresponding Velcro
on the rear of the OctoDome.
8. Press the cowling assembly in place around the rear of
the softbox.
Note:
The Extra Small OctoDome nxt 870457 (FV-SODXS) does
not use a cowling patch, the outer flaps will meet the
connector ring.
9. See figure 9 which shows the Extra Small Octodome. In
this image, the adjustable shoe mount adapter assembly
is shown. If you plan to use this adapter and soft box with a
shoe mount flash, see instructions for shoe mount flash kits,
available at Photoflex.com
