ROD INTO A CONNECTOR HOLDER.
5) ALLOW THE CONNECTOR HOLDER TO
PIVOT UNTIL IT IS FLAT ON THE SURFACE

ASSEMBLY CAN BEGIN AT ANY POINT INSIDE THE
SOFTBOX COVER AND WITH ANY CONNECTOR PORT.
TOTAL ASSEMBLY TIME IS APPROXIMATELY 9 MINUTES.
TO COLLAPSE THE BOX:
• START WITH ONE ROD AND PRESS DOWN TOWARDS THE SOFTBOX COVER AND THEN PULL THE CONNECTOR PORT OUT AND AWAY FROM THE
CENTER OF THE RING WITHOUT RELEASING PRESSURE. THE ROD WILL RELEASE.
• REPEAT THE ABOVE STEP UNTIL ALL 16 RODS HAVE BEEN RELEASED. THE CARRY BAG HAS BEEN DESIGNED SO THAT THE BEAUTY DISH CAN BE
LEFT IN THE BAG PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED IF YOU PREFER. YOU CAN LEAVE THE SOFTBOX JUST AS IT HAS BEEN COLLAPSED AND IT WILL FIT IN THE
CENTER SECTION OF THE BAG WITHOUT FURTHER DISASSEMBLY.
• SOME RODS MAY SEPARATE FROM THE CONNECTOR PORTS DURING STORAGE. SOME MINOR RE-ASSEMBLY MAY BE REQUIRED BEFORE THE
NEXT SHOOT WHEN PACKED IN THIS WAY.
• RODS MAY SEPARATE FROM THE CONNECTOR PORTS DURING STORAGE AND WILL REQUIRE REASSEMBLY UPON UNPACKING.

SPACE BARS INTO THE 2 SCREWS OPPOSITE EACH OTHER
