Frequently Asked Questions - BB-ST-1024-V2 Angler

How do I attach the Angler BB-ST-1024-V2 to my studio light?

Align the mounting tabs of the BoomBox with the Bowens mount on your light. Insert and turn clockwise until it locks. The adapter ring must be compatible (V2 144 mm).

Can I use the BB-ST-1024-V2 without the diffusers?

Yes, you can use it without diffusers for a harder light. However, the inner and outer diffusers soften and spread light for an even effect. They can be used with or without the deflector.

How do I remove the BoomBox from the light?

Press the light's Bowens release button, then turn the BoomBox counterclockwise and remove it. If needed, remove diffusers, deflector, and extension, then close by pulling the center ring.

What adapter rings are compatible?

Use V2 (144 mm) adapter rings: BBAR-PRO-144 for Profoto, BBAR-BRL-144 for Broncolor, and BBAR-EL-144 for Elinchrom. The included ring is for Bowens.

How do I change the adapter ring?

Unzip and pull back the fabric around the adapter ring. Remove the screws, washers, and thumbscrew with a Philips screwdriver. Swap the ring and reassemble with screws and thumbscrew in the recessed hole.

What grid is compatible with this model?

The BB-G-1024-V2 grid is specifically designed for the BB-ST-1024-V2 strip box. It helps control light spill and create a more directed beam.

How do I attach the deflector?

Screw the deflector extension into the center stem of the BoomBox. Then slide the deflector plate onto the extension. Experiment with the curved side facing in or out for different effects.

Can I use this BoomBox with any Bowens mount light?

Yes, as long as the light has a standard Bowens mount. The BoomBox uses a V2 (144 mm) adapter ring. Ensure the ring is properly attached before mounting.

How do I clean and maintain the softbox?

Wipe the fabric with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using solvents or water. Store in a dry place when not in use. Check screws and thumbscrew periodically for tightness.

What is the warranty coverage?

Angler provides a one-year limited warranty from the original purchase date against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact customer service at 212-594-2353 or visit anglerlights.com for RMA.

Setting Up the BoomBox

1. For Monolights and studio strobes with Bowens mounts, align the mounting tabs with the Bowens mount and insert the BoomBox into the Bowens mount. Turn the BoomBox clockwise until it locks.

2. Open the BoomBox, and push the center ring over the shaft until it's all the way in, just like an umbrella.

Tip: You may find it easier to hold the base of the shaft through the side opening while pushing the center ring over it.

1. Adjust the BoomBox's orientation by loosening the adapter ring's thumbscrew and rotating the BoomBox. Tighten the thumbscrew until secure.

Optional: To add the deflector to the BoomBox, screw the deflector extension into the center stem. Once it's attached, slide the deflector plate onto the extension.

Try experimenting with the curved side of the deflector facing out or in, and by varying the distance from the light source.

Attaching the Diffusers

The inner and outer diffusers add two levels of diffusion that soften and spread the light for an even and flattering effect. The diffusers can be used with or without the deflector plate.

1. Attach the inner diffuser by attaching the diffuser's touch-connect strips to the touch connect tabs inside the BoomBox.

2. Attach the outer diffuser by pressing the touch-connect strips against the inner rim of the BoomBox.
