1. Attach XL Pro Soft Box Diffuser to the
FlashBender XL Pro Reflector
With the FlashBender mounted on a light stand, attach
the sides of the Soft Box Diffuser to the sides of the
FlashBender using the hook-and-loop strips along the
left and right edges.
2. Snap Corners of Soft Box Diffuser
Fold the top corners of the Soft Box Diffuser 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 Soft Box
Diffuser to the top of the FlashBender.
4. Pull Bottom Tab of Soft Box Diffuser
Pull the bottom center tab on the Soft Box Diffuser
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.
1. Shape the FlashBender
With the FlashBender mounted on a light
stand, curve the sides of the FlashBender
forward into a U-shape.
2. Attach Strip Grid
Using the hook-and-loop strips along the left
and right edges, attach the sides of the Strip
Grid to the inside edges of the FlashBender.
3. Attach Top of XL Pro Strip Grid
Attach the top cover of the Strip Grid to the top
of the FlashBender by securing the hook-and-
loop completely around the top outside edge of
the FlashBender.
4. Attach Bottom Flap
To close the bottom of the Strip Grid, attach the
hook-and-loop on the sides of the flap to the
bottom sides of the Strip Grid.
Reflector:
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.
Soft Box:
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.
Strip Grid:
Combining diffusion material with
a fabric grid, the XL Pro Strip Grid
produces a long and narrow light
pattern frequently used for edge
and rim lighting with off-camera
flash. The bottom panel controls
light leakage from the base of the
strip grid.
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.
