Westcott Beauty Dish Switch - 36-Inch, White Interior

The 'Switch' system allows you to easily swap different light sources (strobes, speedlites, LEDs) into the back of the beauty dish using interchangeable inserts, offering great versatility without needing multiple modifiers.

Check that the central locking collar is fully engaged or disengaged. Ensure no fabric or ribs are caught in the mechanism. Gently manipulate the ribs to ensure they are aligned.

Ensure the removable deflector plate is properly seated. If using the deflector plate, try adjusting its position slightly. If not using it, consider if direct light is too harsh for the desired effect and reintroduce the deflector plate or a diffusion sock.

Verify that you are using the correct Switch Insert for your light source and the beauty dish. Ensure the locking mechanisms on both the insert and the beauty dish are clean and free of obstruction. Consult the instructions for both the Switch Insert and the beauty dish.

Minor wrinkles are normal due to the collapsible design. For significant wrinkles that affect light quality, you can try hanging the beauty dish in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or gently using a low-heat iron on the *reverse* side of the fabric (test on an inconspicuous area first).
