PROFOTO © COMPATABILITY

All C-Series lights have a 100mm diameter. This diameter allows for the light to easily be paired with all accessories designed for the strobe lights produced by Profoto©. This allows for the use of a wide variety of light modifiers from third party manufacturers originally designed for both still and motion photography. Hive Lighting also produces a number of accessories designed for this standard diameter.

To attach a light modifier using a Profoto© style mounting ring be sure to first remove any other light modifier from the front of the fixture. When the light is set up as an "open face" fixture with only the domed diffuser on

the front of the fixture, carefully slide the mounting ring over the body of the light. Each light modifier can be positioned differently to create the optimal desired lighting effect. Once the desired position of the light modifier to the domed diffuser is achieved, secure the ring in place by closing the locking clamp attached to the rubber collar on the outside of the mounting ring.

ADDITIONAL OPTICS:

SAFETY CHAIN ATTACHMENT

A standard safety chain may be attached to any C-series Light either through a key ring on the Standard Yoke tab, or through an eye bolt with 1/4"-20 on the light's interface

Hive Bee 50-C - SAFETY CHAIN ATTACHMENT - 1

POWER ACCESSORY MOUNT

Both the Standard Yoke and Studio Yoke have mounting tabs 180 degrees apart, at 90° and 270°, on the outer diameter of the yoke. These tabs allow for a variety of power accessories to be mounted directly to the C-Series fixture. The primary accessories that can be mounted here are the Power Supply Mounting Bracket and the Battery Plate mount.

To mount power accessories to the yoke, use the receiver tab on the back of each accessory, which mates with the mounting tab on the yoke. The receiver tab has a pull pin lock, pull up on the pin lock until the pin fully clears the receiver tab. When the receiver tab is clear, center the mounting tab on the yoke inside

NOTE: Please visit www.hivelighting.com to learn more information about all of the C-Series' different power accessories and mounting options.

the receiver tab on the accessory so that the pull pin can drop down into the through hole on the receiver tab. It is properly mounted and immovable when the pin has fully descended into the hole.

Hive Bee 50-C - POWER ACCESSORY MOUNT - 1

PHOTO YOKE

All C-Series lights may be operated with the Photo Yoke when securely mounted to a separate apparatus, such as a stand (purchased separately). Carefully position the light above stand. Place the top of the stand into the 5/8th (16mm) receiver mount, located on the base of the yoke. Hold the light securely with one hand, and use the other to twist the mount's locking knob clockwise until tight.

Attaching Light Modifiers

The Photo Yoke is designed with two unique mounting points unlike the Standard Yoke or Studio Yoke. The Photo Yoke itself also serves as a Four-Point Speed Ring, allowing Square and Rectangular Softboxes to be connected directly to the yoke itself without the need for additional mounting accessories.

The Photo Yoke also has a mounting point in the base of the yoke for photographic umbrella attachments. To attach a standard photo umbrella insert the metal pole of the umbrella into the mounting point on the top half of the photo yoke base, just above the tilt lock. Once the umbrella is inserted securely position the umbrella the desired distance from the face of the C-Series fixture. Then secure the umbrella position by tightening the threaded knob above the tilt lock until the bolt of the threaded knob is holding the umbrella pole inside the mounting point securely. The umbrella will now pan and tilt with the fixture.

Tilting (Vertical Adjustment)

Loosen the tilt lock on the yoke until the light can move freely. Adjust the light upward or downward at any angle between 0^ and 180^ (vertical). Secure the tilt lock once the desired angle is reached.

Panning (Horizontal Adjustment)

Loosen the mount lock on the yoke. Freely adjust the light left to right up to a full 360° horizontal rotation. Secure the mount lock once the desired angle is reached.

NOTE: Any values for S, H, D & C that have been provided by the DMX board will persist even after the DMX board has been unplugged. Conversely, if the controls on the DMX board are adjusted post-separation and then the board is reconnected, the light will overwrite the previous ones.

  1. Engage DMX Mode: Flip the DMX Mode On/Off Switch to the up position, the DMX indicator light will turn on. You are now in DMX mode and can use a DMX board to control the light. Your digital display will look like the facing graphic and will register value changes via the connected DMX board.

  2. Adjust Starting Address: You will also notice that there is a fifth symbol when in DMX mode - "A". This indicates the light's starting address, and its value determines which controls on the DMX board are used to operate the light. The starting address can be any value between 1 and 512. Selecting the one you want can be achieved in two different ways via the control panel's Right Dial:

a. Coarse Adjustment: Turn the right dial in either direction to change the address' value in increments of 10.

b. Fine Adjustment: Press the right dial in slightly, then continue to press in while turning in either direction to change the value by increments of 1.
