was inserted. Insert one end into
the correct pocket on the OctaCool
softbox rst, and then insert the
other end into the light head.
Insert the next two rods at a 90° angle from the rst two rods that were
inserted. Follow the same steps as
the rst two rods. Insert one end
into a pocket on the OctaCool softbox rst, and then insert the other
end into the light head.
