WhiteDome
Before assembling your WhiteDome softbox, make sure all
components are present. You will need:
• WhiteDome softbox
• Connector for your specific light (not included)
• Four rods
• Inner baffle (medium only) should be factory installed
• Set of 2 skirts for short sides of dome
• Set of 2 skirts for long sides of dome
Assemble the Softbox to the Connector
1. Place softbox with all four rods into their sleeves on a flat,
clean surface.
2.
Notice that the connector has nine receptacle holes, three
of which are “tapped” The small and medium WhiteDomes
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.
3. Position connector at the center of the softbox. Insert the first rod
into one of the rod receptacle holes)
NOTE: If you are planning on using the Shoe Mount hardware AC-
B222SM with this assembly, make sure that one of the large tapped
holes is centered between two inserted rods. The red arrows indicate
the holes with 3/8” large tapped threads.
4. Insert the second rod into the hole diagonally opposite the first hole.
5. Insert the third and fourth rods.
NOTE: For proper dome shape to be achieved all rods must be pushed
in completely. Attaching the Rear Flaps (Optional).
6. The inner baffle has elastic bands with metal clips at each of the
four corners. The interior of the WhiteDome softbox has four white
nylon loops. Secure one metal clip to each of these loops.
7. Inner baffle correctly installed in place. The softbox and light fixture
assembly can now be mounted to a LiteStand, or attached to a
boom mounted on a Boom Stand.
8/9. The rear flaps can be closed by pulling them toward the connector
and attaching with the Velcro
®
sewn into each flap. The softbox is
built and ready to attach to your strobe light head. Finally, with the
softbox face down, press firmly on the connector to be sure all
rods are seated properly.
Attaching Light Head to Connector and Stand
In most cases, the softbox connector is designed to connect with your
strobe light head in the same manner as your light head’s accessories.
10. Connect the light to the softbox connector making sure that your
lights locking mechanism is securely attached.
