Installing the Gold/Silver panels
NOTE: Gold/Silver panels are optional. These can be used in
any combination to modify the color and contrast of the light.
10. The OctoDome comes with four Gold/Silver reversible
panels that can be attached inside the softbox with Velcro®
fasteners. Each insert will span the inside of two of the
eight sides of the soft box. Position the panel so that its
side covers the length of the white Velcro® near a seam.
Press rod into place.
NOTE: Notice the seams that run from the front of the softbox
to the rear. On both sides of four of the seams is a length of
white Velcro®. The reversible Gold/Silver panels will attach to
this Velcro®.
11. Press the long edge of the panel along the inner edge of
the 3” black Velcro® from one corner to the next. Press
the third edge into place along the white Velcro® by the soft
box seam. Repeat this process to install the remaining
panels.
Installing the inner baffle
12 The inner baffle has Velcro® tabs at each corner. These
tabs connect to the Velcro® loops on each inner seam of
the OctoDome.
NOTE: The inner tabs will poke through holes cut in the Gold/
Silver panels in 4 places.
13 Connect each corner of the inner baffle to each Velcro®
loop inside the OctoDome.

attaches to its counterpart that lines the front of the
OctoDome. Find a corner of the diffuser and line it up with
the corner of the OctoDome face. Starting at one corner,
press the face diffuser in place. Work your way around the
rim of the softbox until the diffuser is in place Your softbox is
now fully constructed
NOTE: The face should be attached at a 1” recess to allow
attachments of an optional grid accessory (sold separately).

Place the dome face down on the floor with the connector
facing up; then securely lock the light onto the connector.

height before lifting the light and dome assembly onto the
stand. Make sure to always tighten the light fixtures set
screw to the stud on the LiteStand.
