WhiteDome

Before assembling your WhiteDome softbox, make sure all

components are present. You will need:

• WhiteDome softbox

• Connector for your specific light (not included)

• Four rods

• Inner baffle (medium, and large only) should be factory installed

• Set of 2 skirts for short sides of dome

• Set of 2 skirts for long sides of dome

Assemble the Softbox to the Connector

1. Place softbox with all four rods into their sleeves on a flat,

clean surface.

2. 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.)

3. 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.
4. Insert the second rod into the hole diagonally opposite the

first hole.

5. Insert the third and fourth rods.

NOTE: For proper dome shape to be achieved all rods must
be pushed in completely.
Attaching the Rear Flaps (Optional).
6. The inner baffle has elastic bands with metal clips at each

of the four corners. The interior of the WhiteDome softbox

has four white nylon loops. Secure one metal clip to each

of these loops.

7. Inner baffle correctly installed in place. The softbox and

light fixture assembly can now be mounted to a LiteStand,

or attached to a boom mounted on a Boom Stand.

8/9. The rear flaps can be closed by pulling them toward the

connector and attaching with the Velcro

®

sewn into each

flap. The softbox is built and ready to attach to your strobe

light head. Finally, with the softbox face down, press firmly

on the connector to be sure all rods are seated properly.

Attaching Light Head to Connector and Stand
In most cases, the softbox connector is designed to connect
with your strobe light head in the same manner as your light
head’s accessories.
