## Long description

How to use
Unfold the Light Dome 40 and extend the frame until it locks into position. Attach the Mini ProLock mount to the corresponding receiver on the STORM 80c and rotate or secure according to the mount’s engagement mechanism. Position the softbox at the desired distance and angle from the subject to adjust softness and falloff. Use the included diffuser to achieve even light distribution; add flags or grids (sold separately) at the front if greater directionality or contrast control is needed.
Usage recommendations
For portrait work, place the Light Dome 40 slightly above eye level and angle it downward to create natural-looking catchlights and soft shadows. For product photography, reduce distance to increase softness while monitoring reflections; use black or neutral flags to control unwanted spill. Store folded to protect the diffuser and maintain frame integrity.
