For anyone else that needs to hear this: trying to push in the rods with them standing up was making me scream obscenities in Greek. Instead I just made it lie down on the floor so they weren’t dangling around. Took me five minutes after that.

In the initial setup, the rods need to be pushed through 2 holes: the silver one and the white Velcro hole. I don’t know why, but no one mentions this.

[sixthdutch]

Best, clearest video on the subject. Thank you.

Having just bought one, you need to add these set up links in your packing materials. I had no idea how to do it, took a bit of searching to find the information today.

[DanielHYNg]

Very helpful. Thank you. My softbox just arrived.

[LoLo-]

Every time I want to put it back in its bag the rod fall down .. do you have a way to stop it ? Because it takes time to redo it every time

[rickyslapstick]

Is that screw at the end supposed to stop the mount from spinning?... mine still spins

[AhmedAli-jozj]

It’s helpful in setting up soft box but can you make a video mounting the godox ad 600 light on this soft box??

[yoelmm]

Hello, i wanna thanks for this video, it help me so so much!!!

[mohaneshphotography]

Bro that metallic part down even after i screwed it its turning can u help me with that

[JCFrost]

Does it withstand the heat of a continuous light?

[karenmooring]

What about attaching the lighting systems that you can use. Is it only for speed light use???

[vincentsolon]

Is this for bowens mount and will fit to godox s2 bracket?

[tintinrr]

How come you didn’t thread the rods through the little silver loops as well ?

[gauravonguitars]

Wait, how you insert the rods in the speed ring?

[markaiello]

Collapsing the softbox doesn't work if you want to put it back in the Godox bag it comes with. This product just arrived today and I spent over an hour trying to get this set up right, I honestly think I regret buying it now. I don't have time to do all this work while I'm on shoots. Let this be a fair warning to anyone who is on the fence about buying this product.

[timrosenthal]

Are these on your website and is there a 120 size ?

[daegaskins]

my rob in the middle does not stay in at all. mine is broke

[djxcel]

They should be able to come out with a easier system by now.

[macbaar]

Inuse some hot glue to fix the rods for a long time…
