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.
Optional: Attach the deflector plate to the shaft with
the thumbscrew. The deflector plate minimizes the
hot spot at the center of the box and diuses the light
for beauty dish-style wraparound light.
Try experimenting with the curved side of the deflector facing out or in, to see
which orientation gives you the lighting that’s best for your exposure.
Deflector Extension (BB-48DB Only)
The deflector extension moves the deflector further away from the BoomBox’s
interior for a wider and more even light spread. To install the deflector on the
extension, follow these steps:
1.
Open the BoomBox, and screw the threaded end of the extension into the
shaft.
2. Attach the deflector to the extender with the thumbscrew.
