silverbox softbox 18”ʺ 7262-S-18 INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Angler Silver 18˝ softbox! The Angler 7262-S-18 is a compact yet full-featured octagonal softbox. It enables photographers to pinpoint a light source so that the subject can be easily separated from the background. It’s ideal for controlling spillover on more intimate head and shoulder portraits while retaining the wrap-around light and circular highlights of a conventional softbox.

User Instructions Please follow these instructions carefully when assembling your Angler softbox. 1 There are four parts to your softbox: 1. The softbox fabric shell 2. Pre-shaped flex rods 2 3. Front diffuser 4. Removable internal baffle A speed ring (not included) is required to assemble the Angler softbox and mount it to a light. Speed rings are available separately.
Assembling the softbox 1. Insert the small tip of a flex rod through the guide loop along the seam of the softbox fabric shell. Insert the tip into the anchoring pocket at the front end of the softbox. The large tip at the curved end of the pre-shaped flex rod should be positioned at the rear of the softbox fabric shell. Repeat this step with the remaining flex rods. 1 2 2. With the speed ring’s reflector mount facing away from the softbox, insert the end of a flex rod into a rod hole in the speed ring.
5. Fold the flaps of the softbox shell over the speed ring and press down on the touch fasteners to close the back of the softbox. If you’re using a hot light (quartz, tungsten, HMI, etc.), make sure to open the four vents on the sides of the softbox. 6. If you are using the internal baffle, attach it to the interior now, using the straps with snaps that are built into the softbox. 7.
Using an optional grid An optional grid provides more control over the light of your softbox by producing a narrower beam of light than the softbox alone. 1 1. Be sure to install the softbox front diffuser at the rear edge of the softbox touch fastener strip. 2. Press the grid’s touch fastener firmly against the softbox’s touch fastener strip as smoothly as possible along the length of one side. 3. Repeat for the remaining sides of the grid, attaching sides in opposite pairs.
Disassembling the softbox 1. Turn off the power to your light head and disconnect the power cord from the power supply. 2. Allow time for the light unit, flex rods and speed ring to cool off before proceeding. 3. Unmount the softbox assembly from the light head. 4. Pull the flex rods out of the speed ring using the same opposite rod pattern used in assembly. 5. You can leave the flex rods, inner baffle and front diffuser in place if you wish.
