OctoDome Mul — For Strobes or Cool Lights
Before assembling your OctoDome sobox, make sure all components
are present. You will need:

• Eight rods
• Outer rear cowling patch
• Inner rear cowling Velcro® Insert

your light head in the same manner as your light head’s
accessories. If using a strobe light, make sure your OctoConnector
is the correct one designed for your light.

are tapped. Current model OctoConnectors use circle icons ( )
for OctoDomes and squares icons ( ) for rectangular Softboxes.

front (with the rounded screw heads) Fig. 3 should face away
from the sobox and the connector back (with the bolt nuts)
should face into the sobox.

the holes are tapped but will be used.

Installing the Gold/Silver Panels
Note: Gold/Silver panels are oponal. These can be used in any combinaon
to modify the color and contrast of the light.
10. The OctoDome comes with four Gold/Silver reversible panels
that can be aached inside the sobox with Velcro fasteners.
Each insert will span the inside of two of the eight sides of the
so box. Posion the panel so that its side covers the length of
the white Velcro near a seam. Press rod into place.
Note: Noce the seams that run from the front of the sobox to the
rear. On both sides of four of the seams is a length of white Velcro.
The reversible Gold/Silver panels will aach to this Velcro.
11. Press the long edge of the panel along the inner edge of the 3”
black Velcro from one corner to the next. Press the third edge
into place along the white Velcro by the so box seam. Repeat
this process to install the remaining panels.
Installing the Inner Bae and Front Diusion Face
12 The inner bae has Velcro tabs at each corner. These tabs
connect to the Velcro loops on each inner seam of the OctoDome.
Note: The inner tabs will poke through holes cut in the Gold/Silver panels
in 4 places to facilitate aaching the bae.
13 Connect each corner of the inner bae to each Velcro loop
inside the OctoDome.
14 Fig. 14 shows the bae installed.
15 The face diuser is rimmed with Velcro material that aaches to
its counterpart that lines the front of the OctoDome. Find a
corner of the diuser and line it up with the corner of the
OctoDome face. Starng at one corner, press the face diuser in
place. Work your way around the rim of the sobox unl the
diuser is in place Your sobox is now fully constructed.
Note: The face should be aached at a 1” recess to allow aachments of
an oponal grid accessory (sold separately).
16/17 The sobox is built and ready to aach to your light head. Place
the dome face down on the oor with the connector facing up;
then securely lock the light onto the connector. It also helps to
raise the LiteStand to your approximate height before liing the
light and dome assembly onto the stand. Make sure to always
ghten the light xtures set screw to the stud on the LiteStand.
Note: Reecve fabrics should not be stored in the plasc bag for long
periods of me and should be opened completely periodically to
prevent scking together.
