3.2 Attaching Diffusers and Honeycomb Grid

  • پخش کننده داخلی: Attach the internal diffuser to the softbox using the touch fasteners (Velcro) located inside the softbox. This diffuser helps to further soften the light.
  • پخش کننده خارجی: Attach the external diffuser to the front edge of the softbox using the outer touch fasteners. This provides the primary softening layer.
  • شبکه لانه زنبوری: For more controlled and directional light, attach the honeycomb grid to the outermost edge of the softbox using its dedicated touch fasteners. The grid helps to prevent light spill and create a more focused beam.

3.3 Mounting to a Light Fixture

The NS14S softbox features a standard Bowens mount, making it compatible with a wide range of studio strobe lights and continuous LED video lights from brands like Godox, Aputure, and NEEWER.

  1. Align the Bowens mount on the softbox with the Bowens mount receiver on your light fixture.
  2. Insert the softbox mount into the light fixture's receiver.
  3. Rotate the softbox clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly attached before use.

4. دستورالعمل های عملیاتی

4.1 Light Diffusion

The primary function of the softbox is to diffuse and soften light, creating a more even and flattering illumination. Use both the internal and external diffusers for maximum light softening and shadow reduction. The glossy silver lining inside the softbox helps to evenly spread the light before it passes through the diffusers.

4.2 Using the Honeycomb Grid

The included honeycomb grid provides precise control over the direction of light. When attached, it narrows the light beam, reduces light spill, and enhances contrast, creating a more dramatic and three-dimensional lighting effect. This is particularly useful for accentuating specific areas or for hair lights in portrait photography.
