Extra Small LiteDome

Basic Kit

Before assembling your Extra Small LiteDome

, make sure all

components are present. You will need:

• Extra Small LiteDome

Softbox (A)

• BasicConnector (B)

• Adjustable ShoeMount Hardware (C)

• ShoeMount MultiClamp (D)

Attach Adjustable ShoeMount to the BasicConnector

1. Use the smaller threaded end (1/4”-20) of the reversible

stud to attach the ShoeMount hardware to the brass

threaded hole in the BasicConnector (Fig. 1). There

is a guide pin at the top of the bracket which lines up with

the untapped holes adjacent to the brass threaded hole

for added stability (the guide pin is removable for use with

other connectors that don’t have guide holes).

2. A screwdriver can be inserted into the pass hole in the

stud to assist in tightening the ShoeMount hardware.

A wrench can also be used on the ﬂ at surfaces of the stud.

The ShoeMount hardware should extend out from the side

(Fig. 2).

Attach LiteDome SoftBox to the BasicConnector

3. The softbox includes four rods. The rods should already

be inserted into the interior sleeves of the softbox (Fig. 3).

We recommend leaving the rods in the sleeves during

storage. It is normal for them to develop a slight bend

where they attach to the BasicConnector.

4. Each of the rods will ﬁ t in a corner hole of the basic

Connector (Fig. 4). Be sure each rod seats all the way

into its connector hole. Start with any hole, then connect

the rod directly opposite the starting rod (Fig. 5). Then

insert the rest of the rods (Fig. 6).

5. After all rods are inserted, with the softbox on the floor,

push down at each corner point to be sure each rod is

all the way into its connection hole (Fig. 7). Tip: For

disassembly, use this same technique of pushing down on

the rod corner to make it easier to remove the rod.

6. The ﬂ aps of the softbox near the connector ring can be

connected at the corners using the Velcro

sewn into the

ﬂ aps (Fig. 8).

7. The softbox can be changed to a vertical or horizontal

position on the connector ring by removing the rods from

the connector & reassembling after a 90 degree rotation.

Align the Vertical Adjustment Screw

8. The vertical adjustment screw for the Adjustable

ShoeMount adapter needs to be set and tightened before

the next step, as the MultiClamp blocks easy access to

this adjustment.

9. Place your shoe ﬂ ash in position by attaching your

ﬂ ash to the shoe mount closes to the softbox. Loosen

the adjustment screw on the ShoeMount just enough to

slide your ﬂ ash shoe into the mount, then tighten the

adjustment screw securely (Fig. 9). If you will be using a

radio remote that is stacked under your shoe ﬂ ash, be sure

to set it up the same way for this adjustment.

10. Adjust the height of the vertical riser so that your ﬂ ash is

lined up in the center of the ring (Fig. 10).

Using the MultiClamp to Attach the Assembly to a LiteStand

or LiteReach

11. The MultiClamp is packaged and ready to use with a

shoe ﬂ ash and umbrella. For use with your softbox,

remove the silver shoe mount and stud at the top of

the MultiClamp (Fig. 11). Also remove the bottom female

brass stud so that section of the MultiClamp can ﬁ t over a

LiteStand (Fig. 12).

12. Secure the MultiClamp to the stud that attached the

ShoeMount Hardware to the connector ring (Fig. 13).

13. After inserting the stud into the MultiClamp, tighten the

set-screw knob on the MultiClamp against one of the ﬂ at

sides of the stud to ensure a secure ﬁ t. (Fig. 14)

14. Secure entire assembly to top of LiteStand or LiteReach

(Fig. 15).

15. The handle can be repositioned after tighteneing by pulling

the handle outward, away from the clamp, then moving to

the desired position and resetting the handle (Figs. 16-17).

Connecting Your Flash

16. Adjust the ShoeMount set-screw on the horizontal rail to

placed over the Velcro® perimeter to limit light leak

(Fig. 19).

diffusion (Fig. 23).
