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. This softbox can also be used as an eective hair light, for highlighting a

particular area of the subject, or as a soft background spot.

The compact size makes it an integral tool for product photography, tabletop

photography, and food or macro photography where larger softboxes don’t oer the

control needed for these types of subjects. The textured silver interior provides a

punchy and high-contrast light, but the included interior bae and front diuser give

the photographer control over the level of diusion.

This softbox features a 12-inch deep parabolic design that gives it a long throw and

pointed directionality ideal for portraits. It minimizes spillover around the edges and

oers more control over your subject in the foreground. Adding a fabric grid (not

included) will narrow the light output and control unwanted light spill even further.

This versatile light shaping tool is compatible with most popular brands of speed rings.

It can be used with most strobes and, with the appropriate adapter, most speedlights. It

quickly folds down for convenient transport making it a superb choice for location and

event photographers.
