QUICK START GUIDE
Silver/Black Attachment:
(Only Included in Large Soft Box Kit)
The Large Silver/Black Attachment is reversible.
With the silver side facing out, the attachment
produces a higher contrast, more reflective
surface than the Large Reflector’s white surface.
The non-reflective black side acts as a large
flag, creating a hard edge with more dramatic
shadows.

Silver/Black Attachment for Large Reflector
1. Attach the Large Silver/Black Attachment
Secure the top and sides of the attachment to
the sides of the FlashBender Large Reflector using
the hook-and-loop along the edges, with either
the silver side facing out or the black side facing
out, as desired.
Not for Use Under Diffusion Panel
The Silver/Black Attachment is not meant for
use under the Diffusion Panel (inside the Large
Soft Box). The hook-and-loop on the Silver/Black
Attachment will not attach to the Diffusion Panel.

1. Attach Diffusion Panel to FlashBender Reflector
Attach the sides of the Diffusion Panel to the sides of
the FlashBender using the hook-and-loop strips along
the left and right edges.
2. Snap Corners of Diffusion Panel: Fold the top
corners of the Diffusion Panel over and secure each of
the snaps.
3. Attach Center Tab at Top: To close the top of the soft
box, attach the hook-and-loop tab at the top center of
the Diffusion Panel to the top of the FlashBender.
4. Pull Bottom Tab of Diffusion Panel: Pull the bottom
center tab on the Diffusion Panel tight, flattening the
front diffuser fabric. This tab can be tucked under the
FlashBender’s attachment strap to hold it tight and to
reduce light spill from the bottom of the reflector.
FlashBender Reflectors:
The versatile FlashBender Reflector can
be used to control and shape your main,
background, hair, rim, or accent lights. Attach
the reflector to your flash and change its shape
to quickly and easily manipulate light and
shadow in your image.
FlashBender Soft Boxes:
The soft box makes a beautiful main light
for portraiture because it effectively softens
light while reducing contrast and specular
highlights. When configured as a soft box the
light becomes more directional than the base
reflector alone, effectively eliminating bounced
and reflected light.
3. Shape FlashBender Reflector: Use the reflector’s positionable
rods to manipulate its shape. Adjust the light reflected up,
forward, or to the sides by shaping the top or sides of the
reflector. Alternatively, position the reflector parallel to your
background and adjust the leading edge to shape the light
and shadow on the background.

its vertical, fully-locked position before attaching
the FlashBender. If the flash head will not lock in
the upright position, rotate the flash head 180° and
angle the flash forward.
Non-Locking Flash Heads: Rotate the flash head
180 degrees, then attach FlashBender. Use a tilter or
umbrella bracket to tilt the flash forward on light stand.
