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.

Center the base attachment section on the side or back of your flash with your left hand and hold it in place. This illustration shows mounting on the side. While holding firmly with your left hand, pull the strap hard and wrap it around. Stick the Velcro down.

Understanding How the Reflector Panel Works:

The reflector panel at different angles

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.

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.
