Troubleshooting
Projection is blurry or out of focus
Ensure the gobo is correctly inserted and the flash is focused. The attachment may need to be adjusted closer to or further from the subject to achieve sharp focus.
Light pattern is not centered or straight
Rotate the entire projection attachment on the flash mount until the pattern is positioned correctly. Use the 360° rotatable design feature for fine adjustments.
Attachment does not mount securely
Check for any obstructions on the Bowens mount of the flash or the attachment. Ensure the locking mechanism is engaging properly. Do not force the mount.
Excessive heat build-up
Ensure the porous cooling design is not blocked. Allow the attachment to cool down between uses if performing extended shoots at high power.
