How would I gel my B800 when I have a large PCB softbox attached to it? I need to gel it because I am shooting indoors with tungsten lamps in the background.

How does one the balance flash's WB with indoor ambient WB when using a softbox?

Thanks for your help!

Typically, one would put a gel inside the box, somewhere between the internal diffusion and the flashtube. Using the existing mounting points for the internal fabric allows for easy clipping of the gel to the softbox with small alligator clips.

You would use any where from 1/2 CTO to Full CTO depending on your power level and how equal you wish to make the flash vs ambient.
