7. The wrap around section connects with Velcro ® around the
Adjustable ShoeMount Adapter (Fig. 8). The flaps of
the softbox near the connector ring can be connected at
the corners using the Velcro ® sewn into the flaps (Fig. 9).
Align Vertical Adjustment Screw
8. The vertical adjustment screw for the Adjustable
ShoeMount adapter needs to be set and tightened before
the next step, as the Aluminum Swivel blocks easy access
to this adjustment. Place your shoe flash in position by
attaching your flash to the shoe mount closest to the
softbox. Be sure to tighten the locking ring of your flash for
optimal security. Loosen the adjustment screw on the
ShoeMount just enough to slide your flash shoe into the
mount, then tighten the adjustment screw securely
(Fig. 10). If you will be using a radio remote that is placed
under your shoe flash, be sure to set it up the same way
for this adjustment.
9. Use the gold knob to adjust the height of the vertical riser
so that your flash is lined up in the center of the ring
(Fig. 11).
Using the Heavy-Duty Aluminum Swivel to Attach Assembly
to a LiteStand
® or LiteReach ®
10. Secure the swivel onto the stud that attached the
ShoeMount Hardware to the OctoConnector ring
(Fig. 12).
11. After inserting the stud into the swivel, tighten the
set-screw knob against one of the flat sides of the stud to
ensure a secure fit (Fig. 13).
12. Secure entire assembly to top of light stand or LiteReach
(Fig. 14).
13. The handle can be repositioned after tightening by pulling
the handle outward, away from the clamp, then moving to
desired position and resetting the handle (Fig. 15).
Positioning Your Flash
14. Adjust the ShoeMount set screw on the horizontal rail to
position the flash as close as possible to the softbox
(Fig. 16).
Attaching a Radio Trigger
15. There is a second shoe mount included for use with a
radio remote (Fig. 17).
16. The radio remote can be mounted upside down for easier
access to your shoe flash (Fig. 18).
17. Some radio remotes can be used stacked between the
ShoeMount and flash (Fig. 19).
