Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

I have an AB800 and Paul Buff large softbox. Does anyone have any tips/tricks to installing the large softbox on the strobe by yourself? It doesnt seem easy trying to line up the ring, hold the box, and squeeze the "antennae" to release the clamps. Am I the only one having some issues trying to do this? Thanks.

Generally, we recommend laying the box face down, mounting the strobe, then mounting the assembly to the stand.

I'll try that procedure, thanks for the tip!!
