Basic Kit
Before assembling your Extra Small LiteDome
®
, make sure all
components are present. You will need:
• Extra Small LiteDome
®
Softbox (A)
• BasicConnector (B)
• Adjustable ShoeMount Hardware (C)
• ShoeMount MultiClamp (D)
Attach Adjustable ShoeMount to the BasicConnector
1. Use the smaller threaded end (1/4”-20) of the reversible
stud to attach the ShoeMount hardware to the brass
threaded hole in the BasicConnector (Fig. 1). There
is a guide pin at the top of the bracket which lines up with
the untapped holes adjacent to the brass threaded hole
for added stability (the guide pin is removable for use with
other connectors that don’t have guide holes).
2. A screwdriver can be inserted into the pass hole in the
stud to assist in tightening the ShoeMount hardware.
A wrench can also be used on the fl at surfaces of the stud.
The ShoeMount hardware should extend out from the side
(Fig. 2).
Attach LiteDome SoftBox to the BasicConnector
3. The softbox includes four rods. The rods should already
be inserted into the interior sleeves of the softbox (Fig. 3).
We recommend leaving the rods in the sleeves during
storage. It is normal for them to develop a slight bend
where they attach to the BasicConnector.
4. Each of the rods will fi t in a corner hole of the basic
Connector (Fig. 4). Be sure each rod seats all the way
into its connector hole. Start with any hole, then connect
the rod directly opposite the starting rod (Fig. 5). Then
insert the rest of the rods (Fig. 6).
5. After all rods are inserted, with the softbox on the floor,
push down at each corner point to be sure each rod is
all the way into its connection hole (Fig. 7).
Tip: For
disassembly, use this same technique of pushing down on
the rod corner to make it easier to remove the rod.
6. The fl aps of the softbox near the connector ring can be
connected at the corners using the Velcro
®
sewn into the
fl aps (Fig. 8).
7. The softbox can be changed to a vertical or horizontal
position on the connector ring by removing the rods from
the connector & reassembling after a 90 degree rotation.
