1. Assembling the Rotalux Softbox:
A) Place the speed ring with the locking knob (for the 360° revolving
system) at the top, on a firm horizontal surface.
B) Pull out each of the rod sockets and move them into the 90° vertical
position and release.
C) Place the speed ring on the centre of the reflection cloth.
D) Ensure that the slots of the rod sockets coincide with the seams of
the reflection cloth.
E) Insert the bare ends of the rods into the sockets of the speed ring.
F) Que at a time bend rods opposite outwards, applying gradual
pressure on the capped end to give slight curvature. Manipulate the
respective capped ends to fit into the cloth pockets at the coinciding
corners of the reflection cloth. If necessary, readjust shown in
picture 1 D.
G) The rods fixed at both ends, have now a convex curve. Hold the rod
and twist each to make the curve concave.
H) Hold down the speed ring in a fixed position. Que at a time apply
pressure on the rods near the rod socket. The rod sockets return to
the previous horizontal position and lock. The reflection cloth now
acquires a concave tent-like curvature.
I) The Rotalux Softbox is now ready to be mounted on the flash unit.
