Troubleshooting

Softbox frame does not click into place securely.

Ensure all poles are fully extended and aligned correctly before applying pressure. Check for any obstructions in the connection points.

Light output seems harsh or uneven.

Confirm the removable diffuser is attached correctly. Ensure the softbox is positioned optimally relative to the subject and light source.
