Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your softbox for use:

   The softbox features a quick-release mechanism. To assemble, gently unfold the softbox. Locate the locking spokes around the Bowens mount. Pull each spoke upwards until it clicks and locks into place, forming the octagonal shape of the softbox. Ensure all spokes are securely locked.
3. Attaching Diffusers:

   The softbox comes with two white diffusers. The inner diffuser attaches to small hooks inside the softbox. The outer diffuser attaches to the Velcro strips along the outer edge of the softbox. These diffusers help to soften and spread the light evenly. You can use one or both diffusers depending on the desired light quality.
4. Mounting to Light:

   Align the Bowens mount on the softbox with the Bowens mount on your compatible studio light (e.g., NEEWER CB60, CB100, CB150, Vision 4, S101-300W/400W). Insert the softbox into the light's mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks securely. Ensure the softbox is firmly attached before operating the light.

Navodila za uporabo

Once assembled and mounted, the softbox is ready for use. It functions as a light modifier to create soft, flattering illumination.

• Light Softening: The primary function of the softbox is to diffuse harsh light sources, producing a softer, more even light. This is ideal for portraits, product photography, and any scenario requiring gentle illumination.
• Adjusting Light Quality: Experiment with using one or both diffusers to achieve different levels of softness. The silver reflective interior maximizes light output while the diffusers spread it.
• Pozicioniranje: Position the softbox relative to your subject to control the direction and spread of light. Its octagonal shape creates natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of subjects.

Vzdrževanje

• Čiščenje: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the softbox. For the diffusers, hand wash gently with mild soap and water if necessary, then air dry completely before reattaching or storing.
• Shranjevanje: To disassemble, push the locking mechanisms on the spokes inward to release them, allowing the softbox to collapse. Fold the softbox and its diffusers neatly into the provided carrying bag to protect it from dust and damage during transport or storage.

Odpravljanje težav

• Softbox not opening/closing smoothly: Ensure all locking spokes are properly engaged or disengaged. Do not force the mechanism. If a spoke is bent, gently straighten it.
• Uneven light: Check that both diffusers are correctly installed and stretched taut. Ensure the light source is centered within the softbox.
• Softbox detaching from light: Verify that the Bowens mount is securely locked onto your studio light. Always double-check the connection before use.
