Barndoor & Accessory Frame Instructions
Your new Dynalite Barndoor/Accessory Frame is designed to provide crea-
tive light control and interface Dynalite flash heads with Lowel
® Light con-
trol accessories.
1 The Barndoor and Accessory Frame mounts onto the accessory ring
on the front of all Dynalite flash heads. It can be removed by push
ing out two adjacent sides while pulling one corner forward.
2 Both hold up to two accessories (Lowel scrims, diffusion glass, etc.)
and rotates a full 360º.
3 All doors have two extending wings which can be used for maximum
light control or creating special shadows.
4 Locking door fasteners requires ¼ turn to remove or install.
5 If Barndoor fails to maintain proper mounting tension, the frame
should be removed and squeezed inward very slightly.
When inserting Lowel Accessories, handles are sprung together to insert
or Remove from Barndoor or Accessory Frame. When a wire scrim and
glass accessory are used together, the wire scrim should be placed closest
to the lamp to reduce the possibility of damage to the glass accessory.
