Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, mount the light to a standard 5/8-inch light stand using the included bracket. If using battery power, slide two charged NP-F970 batteries into the battery cradle on the rear of the unit. For wired use, simply connect the included AC adapter to the DC power port. To ensure longevity, always keep the LED COB chip clean and avoid touching the glass surface with bare fingers, as oils can cause hot spots. Store the device in a dry environment and use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior chassis if it becomes dusty during location shoots.
