Clean sides of flash unit with rubbing

alcohol. Cut the included self-adhering

hook-and-loop tape in half and place

on each side of your flash unit. For

maximum adhesion, allow it to cure for

24 hours before attaching the Apollo.

Remove flash unit from the camera.

Do not attach the Micro Apollo while

flash is mounted to the camera.

Place the Micro Apollo face down on

a flat surface. Lift up one side arm and

attach swivel-pad with hook and loop

tape to the hook and loop tape on the

side of the flash unit. Repeat this step with

the other side arm.

Adjust the Micro Apollo so it is evenly

mounted on the flash unit and faces

straight ahead. Press the swivel-pads firmly

against the sides of the flash unit to insure a

firm attachment. Make sure the cloth cover

is stretched tight and the elastic opening

is closed around the flash unit. Mount flash

unit on camera and you’re ready to go.

With the Micro Apollo attached

to your flash-unit, set your

shutter-speed and aperture as

you normally would, then open

the aperture up a minimum of

1-stop.

Example: If your flash-unit

indicates an aperture setting

of f/11 for a subject being

photographed at 10 feet, then

open the aperture to at least f/8

with the Micro Apollo attached.

TTL FLASH UNITS

No compensation is needed

using the Micro Apollo with TTL

cameras and flash units. The

camera automatically adjusts

the flash unit for the proper

exposure. A reduction will be

flash unit.

Example: If your flash-unit

indicates a range of 40 feet

at a particular setting, when

the Micro Apollo is attached,

the range will be reduced to

approximately 30 feet.

AUTOMATIC FLASH UNITS

Non-TTL flash units have to be

used in the manual mode, unless

the flash unit is equipped with a

“bounce” or tilting head. To retain

automatic functions with the

“bounce” head flash unit, tilt the

head up to either a 45-degree or

60 degree angle. Attach the Micro

Apollo, so that even with the flash

head tilted upward, the Micro

Apollo faces straight ahead. If

your Micro Apollo clears the LIGHT

SENSING “EYE” located on the

front of your flash-unit, automatic

functions will be retained. If not,

then you will either need a remote

sensor (available for some flash

units) or use your flash unit in the

manual mode (see #1 Manual

flash units).

For #2335 Only: When using the

mono version, place the #1080

Mounting Rod through the light

head umbrella receptacle. Using

the white block, mount the Apollo.

the side of the softbox.

To mount the Apollo

light modifier onto your

It is helpful to push

slightly against the top
