Putting the Reflector Panel On:
Attaching the Reflector Panel
The back of every Big and Mega-size reflector panel has a piece of Velcro loop, which matches the Velcro hook on the attachment base. Press firmly when attaching.
Attaching it to the Flip-it!
With your left hand, center the reflector panel on
the side (short dimension) of your flash for use
without a bracket or on the back (long dimension), for
use with a camera bracket. Grasp the front of the loop and slip
it onto the front of the flash. To remove it, simply slip the front
up.
Attaching the Clear Panel:
Center the clear panel on the side opposite the Flip-it! with your right hand. Wrap the ends around.
Mounting the Flip-it! on Either Side of Your Flash:
The Flip-it! and Diffuser may be mounted on either the long side or short side of your flash.
Changing the Angle of the Reflector Panel:
When changing the angle, put your thumb on the mounting plate rather than the reflector panel.
Changing the Angle of the Clear Panel
Peel one side off. Change the angle. Stick it back down.
Storage
Folds flat for storage
Understanding How the Reflector Panel Works:
The lighting from the rear panel changes as you use different angles. Slightly back of vertical gives the softest light and least shadows. 45° forward gives maximum bounce power when you need it. In-between positions let you fine tune the light as you need.
Understanding How the Clear Panel Works:
The diffuser can be set forward for close-ups anywhere or medium shots in a room with a ceiling. It can be set vertically for medium shots in a high-ceiling room or outdoors. Hooding the flash is the most powerful setting.
New users should practice using each part separately before putting the two together. You may find that using one element or the other alone is your best solution to many lighting situations.
Putting It All Together
Normally photographers set the clear panel in a slightly forward position and change the angle of the Flip-it! reflector according to the softness and power needed. If maximum bounce power is required for special shots, like wedding processionals in large spaces, the clear panel is taken off and reattached afterwards.
General Procedure Suggestion
In all photography situations, both indoors and outside, start with the least powerful setting (reflector all the way back). Add power with the reflector only as needed.
