Setup Instructions
1. Remove the EZ Lock Octa Quick Softbox from the carrying case.
2. Rest the back of the Octa Quick Softbox, the Bowens speedring, on a at
surface and gently spread out the aluminum rods that support the silvered
fabric material.
3. Grasp the aluminum EZ Lock mechanism that is suspended above the
center cage hub.
4. Press down on the EZ Lock ring to slide it down to mate with the hub of
the rod spokes, until it seats rmly. The EZ Lock automatically latches in,
pressed against the center post of the hub.
5. The Octa Quick Softbox is now fully opened and correctly constructed.
Unzip the slit on the side of the softbox, reach inside, and grasp the
speedring insert and the softbox rmly. Align the mount to mate with
your ash and lock into place according to the ash manufacturer’s
instructions, or replace the adapter to match the strobe of choice from
the wide variety of Glow 130mm speedring inserts.
Optional Steps
6. Attach the deector disc. This step must be accomplished after the Octa
Quick Softbox is assembled and EZ Locked. The softest eect is reached
with the disk in position. The disk is reversible to achieve a variety of
properties.
A. Hold the disk concave prole up to control the center hotspot and
spread the light about the softbox. By reversing the deector disk
and changing the position of placement on the shaft, the light
spread is customizable.
B. Screw in the hub extension rod onto the center hub.
C. Place the deector disk on the extension and screw in the retaining
bolt on the center shaft.
D. The light bounces o the inner curved deector disk and ood the
walls of the outer bowl of the Octa Quick Softbox, resulting in a
broad spread of softer indirect light.
