Before assembling your OctoDome sobox, make sure all components
are present. You will need:
• OctoDome sobox
• Photoex OctoConnector (to t your strobe light - sold separately)
• Eight rods
• Rear cowling patch
• Inner bae
• Face diuser
NOTE: In most cases, the sobox connector is designed to connect with
your light head in the same manner as your light head’s accessories. Make
sure your OctoConnector is the correct one designed for your light.
Assemble the Sobox to the Connector
Figure 1. Place softbox face down on a flat, clean surface.
Figure 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.
Figure 3. Posion connector at the center of the sobox. The connector
front (with the rounded screw heads) should face away from the
sobox and the connector back (with the bolt nuts) should face into the
sobox. Fig. 3
