1. Unfolding the Softbox: Remove the softbox from its carrying case. The softbox is designed to pop open easily. Gently twist and unfold it until it forms its square shape.
2. Attaching the S2 S-Type Speedlite Bracket:
   • Mount the S2 S-Type Speedlite Bracket onto a light stand (not included) using the integrated mounting screw and tightening knob.
   • Align the softbox's Bowens mount ring with the S2 bracket's Bowens mount. Insert the softbox into the bracket and rotate it clockwise until it locks securely into place.

3. Installing the Diffuser Cloths:
   • Attach the inner diffuser cloth first. It typically has elastic loops or Velcro straps that connect to the internal rods of the softbox.
   • Next, attach the outer diffuser cloth to the front edge of the softbox using the Velcro strips provided. This provides a double layer of diffusion for softer light.

4. Attaching a Flash Unit: Open the adjustable clamp on the S2 bracket. Insert your speedlite flash or other compatible light source into the clamp and tighten it securely. Ensure the flash head is centered within the softbox opening.
5. Adding the Honeycomb Grid (Optional): For more controlled light direction and to prevent light spill, attach the honeycomb grid to the outer Velcro rim of the softbox.

Once assembled, the GODOX Softbox is ready for use. The primary function is to modify your light source for softer, more even illumination.

• కాంతి వ్యాప్తి: The internal silver reflective surface maximizes light output, while the two diffuser cloths soften the light, reducing harsh shadows and creating a more flattering light quality.
• Using the Grid: The included honeycomb grid narrows the beam spread of the light, providing more directional control and preventing light from spilling onto unwanted areas. This is particularly useful for hair lights, background lights, or creating dramatic effects.
• సర్దుబాటు స్థానం: Use the tilting mechanism on the S2 bracket to adjust the angle of the softbox, directing light precisely where needed.

• నిర్వహణ: Always handle the softbox and bracket with care to prevent bending the rods or damaging the reflective material.

ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్

• Softbox not opening/closing smoothly: Ensure all rods are properly aligned and not bent. Apply gentle, even pressure when folding or unfolding.
