Frequently Asked Questions - QF76 QUANTUM

How to assemble the softbox rods?

Insert the rods diagonally into the speedring. When inserting the last rod, press it and insert as shown in fig. 1.

How to attach the speedring?

Check the direction of the speedring before inserting the rods. Ensure the Velcro strap on the rear part of the softbox is correctly placed on the bracket. The black bracket side should face backward of the softbox (fig. 2-4).

How to mount the softbox to a light stand?

After attaching the flash onto the shoe or screw, mount the assembled softbox to a light stand or camera bracket using the adjustable shoe mount bracket (fig. 7).

How to position the flash head inside the softbox?

Move the flash forward or backward into the softbox rear aperture to position it correctly, then secure with the locking screw (fig. 8).

What is the purpose of the diffuser with silver deflector?

The diffuser covers the front of the softbox to soften and spread the light evenly. The silver deflector helps control light direction and reduces spill.

To disassemble, take a rod and pull it upward to remove. Repeat for all rods (fig. 1).

Can I use this softbox with other flash brands?
