SERIES USER GUIDE

Thank you for choosing a component
of the Vello Universal Diffuser Series.
Our diffusers and accessories extend
the functionality of your camera ash or
portable ash unit by softening, enhancing
and focusing your ash in various lighting
situations.
This guide will provide detailed
descriptions and instructions for the
Vello products listed on the following
page. Please refer to the information
for your specic item and follow the
instructions carefully for optimal use.
The Vello Universal Diffuser Series
allows photographers to utilize a variety
of portable ash accessories with their
camera equipment.
Adhesive-backed fabric fasteners are
included with all Vello portable ash
accessories and should be applied to ash
and/or camera equipment only if a Vello
Cinch Strap (sold separately as CAT# FD-
800) will not be utilized.
The Vello Cinch Strap (sold separately as
CAT# FD-800) is highly recommended for
attaching Vello portable ash accessories
and eliminating the need to afx adhesive-
backed fabric fasteners to ashes and
camera equipment.

Notes:
When using the adhesive-backed fabric
fasteners, be sure to attach the “hook” fabric
fastener to front diffusion screen and the
“loop” fabric fastener to nameplate area of
camera for a more secure t.
Using this device with certain cameras may
interfere with hot shoe sensors and disable
ash; ensure tongue does not rest directly on
microswitch in hot shoe and carefully trim
away the edges of tongue to resolve this issue.
