Instructions for Starfish
1. Attach STARFISH centering bracket ("L" shaped) to your Starfish backplate. You will note a shoulder thumbscrew is attached to a support base in one of the six sections of your Starfish backplate. This is what your centering bracket mounts to using the shoulder thumbscrew.
2. Make sure the centering bracket is placed so it is on the inside of your Starfish backplate, or your strobe head and fabric flaps will not attach!
3. Open Starfish until front (translucent fabric) is taunt, then tighten thumb screw.
4. Insert Starfish handle (shaft) into backplate centering bracket; let it drop-don't tighten thumbscrew.
5. Pull five panels only back to backplate and attach Grommets to backplate corner pins. Two Grommets overlap each other at corner pins.
6. The sixth panel is left open so you can reach in, push shaft on centering bracket until side flaps, (black and silver) are taunt. Tighten thumbscrew and attach sixth panel.
7. Attach your strobe head light to a light stand and connect your Starfish to it. Some prefer the reverse: connect your strobe head to your Starfish first, then attach to a light stand.

Although the STARFISH collapsible design is like that of an umbrella, it should not be opened and closed exactly like one. Open and close the STARFISH in the upside-down position. Make sure the back flaps are tucked underneath the ribs. When folding the STARFISH for storage, let all flaps fall out and roll it up.
