2. Fest den indre diffusoren: Secure the inner white diffuser to the internal tabs or Velcro points inside the softbox. This diffuser helps to further soften the light.

3. Fest ytre diffusor: Fasten the outer white diffuser to the front edge of the softbox using the Velcro strips. This provides the primary diffusion surface.

4. Attach Grid (Optional): If desired, attach the honeycomb grid to the outer Velcro rim of the softbox, over the outer diffuser. This helps control light spill.

5. Mount to Light: Align the Bowens mount of the softbox with your Bowens-compatible strobe or continuous light. Rotate until it locks securely into position.

Bruksanvisning

Light Diffusion Control

• Single Diffusion (Outer Diffuser Only): For a slightly more contrasty light while still maintaining softness, you can choose to use only the outer diffuser.

• Double Diffusion (Inner and Outer Diffusers): For maximum softness and even light spread, attach both the inner and outer diffusers. This configuration is ideal for portraits, beauty shots, and video content where smooth, flattering illumination is essential.

Using the Grid

The included honeycomb grid attaches to the outer Velcro rim of the softbox. It is used to control light spill and provide more directional light, focusing the beam and reducing light spread. This is particularly useful for isolating subjects and creating more precise lighting effects.

Vedlikehold

• Rengjøring: Tørk forsiktig av det ytre stoffet med en myk klutamp cloth if it becomes dirty. For diffusers and the grid, hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reattaching to the softbox.

• Lagring: Always fold the softbox properly and store it in its carry bag to protect it from dust, moisture, and potential damage. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures or high humidity, which can affect material integrity.

• Undersøkelse: Periodically check the frame, rods, and mounting mechanism for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Ensure all components are functioning correctly and securely.

Feilsøking

Softbox Does Not Open/Close Smoothly

• Sjekk mekanisme: Ensure no fabric is caught in the quick-release mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure when opening or closing the softbox.

• Smøring: If the mechanism feels stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, taking care to avoid contact with the fabric diffusers.

Uneven Light Output

• Diffuser Placement: Verify that both inner and outer diffusers are correctly and smoothly attached, without wrinkles, sagging, or gaps that could cause light inconsistencies.

• Light Source Alignment: Ensure your light source is properly centered within the Bowens mount and facing directly into the softbox for optimal light distribution.
