Chimera OctaPlus 57 Hi-Heat Kit I - Manual (Page 2)

Folding and Storing the OctaPlus™ Lightbank -
Once the OctaPlus™ Lightbank is removed from
the OctaPlus™ Ring, fold it flat then fold it over again. Roll the Lightbank into a tight cylinder and place it in
the storage sack along with the other components. You may choose to leave the poles in place in the
OctaPlus™ Lightbank. If you are storing the OctaPlus™ Lightbank for a greater length of time it is better to
remove the poles.
Make sure your CHIMERA ® OctaPlus™ Lightbank is not wet, damp or soiled
before storing.
CHIMERA® OctaPlus 57™ Care and Use Instructions
Adding the OctaPlus 57™ Extension Kit – Assemble the OctaPlus 5™
Lightbank according to the instructions above (with or without the front screen
depending on the diffusion preferred) . Then begin the OctaPlus 57™ assembly
by slipping the OctaPlus 57™ extension poles into the extension skirt pole
sleeves. Make sure the end with the rounded tip is in front.
Once all of the poles are in their sleeves, fit the rear end of the
OctaPlus 57™ extension poles over the adapter tips of the
OctaPlus 5™ poles protruding through the grommet holes. It
is easiest to start at the top of the OctaPlus™ Lightbank and
work your way to the bottom, moving back and forth as you
go. Once the poles are assembled, press the Velcro® strips between the OctaPlus 5™
and OctaPlus 57™ skirt together to seal the OctaPlus 57™ Lightbank into one unit.
Then, seal the Velcro® straps at each extension pole intersection.
Next, add the OctaPlus 57™ front screen using the front screen instructions above. Most of the time users
remove and store the OctaPlus 5™ front screen; however there may be times when you prefer to use the
OctaPlus 5™ front screen in combination with the OctaPlus 57™ front screen for an extra soft light.
