SilverDome
Before assembling your SilverDome softbox, make sure all com-
ponents are present. You will need:
• SilverDome softbox
• Connector for your specific light (not included)
• Four rods
• Inner baffle (medium, large, and x-large only)
• Front diffuser
Assemble the Softbox to the Connector
1. Place softbox with all four rods into their sleeves on a flat,
clean surface.
2. If closed, open all four Quick Release Corners (QRC).
Pull Velcro® tab open at each corner so that rods extend
freely. (not available on Small SilverDome.)
3. Notice that the connector has nine receptacle holes, three
of which are tapped. The SilverDome and other rectangular
soft boxes use only four of these receptacle holes. (The
remaining four holes are for use with the OctoDome, an
eight rod soft box.)
4. Position connector at the center of the softbox. Insert the
first rod into one of the rod receptacle holes)
NOTE: If you are planning on using the Shoe Mount hardware
AC-B222SM with this assembly, make sure that one of the
large tapped holes is centered between two inserted rods. The
red arrows indicate the holes with 3/8” large tapped threads.
5. Insert the second rod into the hole diagonally opposite the
first hole.
6. Insert the third and fourth rods.
7/8. Use one hand to pull QRC flap over rod tip while pushing
the rod into place with your thumb.
9. Secure flap to its Velcro ® counterpart. Repeat this process
for the remaining corners.
10. The rear flaps close by pulling flaps toward the connector
and attaching with the Velcro ® sewn onto each flap.
NOTE: For proper dome shape to be achieved all rods must
be pushed in completely.
Connecting the SilverDome to a Light head
NOTE: If using the StarLite head, see assembly instructions
on the StarLite page.
NOTE: In most cases, the softbox connector is designed to
connect with your light head in the same manner as your
light head’s accessories.
