Troubleshooting
Softbox does not fit flash securely.
Ensure you are using a standard shoe mount flash. Adjust the stretch opening by slightly rotating the softbox to find the most secure fit. For incompatible flashes, consider alternative mounting solutions or a different softbox model.
Light appears uneven or harsh.
Verify that the softbox is properly centered over the flash head. Experiment with the placement of the removable inner diffuser; reattaching it might provide additional softening. Ensure the silver interior is clean and free from debris.
