Troubleshooting
Softbox does not open or close smoothly.
Ensure all support rods are properly aligned within their sockets. Avoid forcing the mechanism; check for any obstructions.
Light is uneven or has hot spots.
Verify that the diffusion cover is properly and evenly attached. Ensure the flash tube is centered within the softbox.
Honeycomb grid is difficult to attach.
Check that the softbox rim is clean and free of debris. The grid is designed to slide or clip on; ensure it is aligned correctly before applying pressure.
