Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Angler Whitebox Octagonal Softbox!
Angler softboxes are designed to control and soften light for your specific photographic
needs. This softbox is compatible with flash (strobe), fluorescent, and LED lighting
sources. Do not use this softbox with “hot” lights such as quartz, tungsten, or HMI
sources.
Angler octagonal softboxes come in 60-inch, 36-inch, and 18-inch sizes. The
Whiteboxes have a matte white interior finish, which softens and diuses the light. Each
softbox has a front diuser, which can be attached using touch fasteners. The diuser
can be removed to produce more intense light with increased contrast. The removable
internal bae will soften and diuse light further when installed in the softbox. A speed
ring (not included) is required to mount the softbox to a light.
The size of the softbox is related to the lighting eect produced — the larger the softbox,
the softer the light. The distance from the softbox to the object being photographed
also aects the quality of light produced — when the softbox is close to the object, the
light will be more intense, with more contrast. When the distance is greater, the light
will be more diused, with less contrast. The removable interior bae will also soften
and diuse light — you can subtract or add a degree of contrast through inserting or
removing the bae.
