Quick Links
Connecting Lighting Arms
Begin use by attaching Lighting Arms to the Pod.
Make sure the contacts are clean and insert an arm into the port on the front of the Pod.
You will feel a magnetic pull, rotate the arm until it clicks into place.
LED lighting arms will automatically illuminate at the brightness last used.
Manipulating Arms
Lighting Arms are flexible. You can bend arms before inserting them into your pod, or adjust them in situ.
When bending an Arm, its best to bend the Arm along its entire length to reach tighter angles.
When manipulating a connected Arm, make sure to support the Pod and Lighting Arm connection with one hand.
This ensures there is no excessive force on the Control Pod mount or the Lighting Arm connector.
Beam Angle Control
Unscrew the head of the Lighting Arm to limit the beam of light produced by the arm.
Unscrew and remove the head for the widest possible beam angle.
Beam angle can be limited between 115° – 20°
Add or Remove Filters.
Diffusers and Colour Filters can be added to the Lighting Arms via the magnetic connection.
Filters magnetise freely to the end of the Lighting Arm. Clip them on and off while supporting the Pod-Arm connection point.
Diffuser levels 1-3 are marked with the number of rings on the metal part.
Removing Lighting Arms
To remove the Lighting Arm, simply pull directly outwards.
Do not twist!
Pods turn off automatically when all Lighting Arms are removed.
Heat Caution
When using boost mode for extended periods, lighting arm heads may become hotter than normal. Please allow the LEDs to cool before touching the end of the arm or packing the arm for storage.
UV Caution
UV lighting arms create invisible ultraviolet radiation that can cause harm. Do not look directly into the lighting arm. UV blocking eye protection is recommended at all times while using UV lighting arms.
Flash Caution
Never shoot a Flash Arm directly into the naked eye as this can cause temporary sight loss and lead to long-term damage. Never attempt to disassemble a Flash Arm, they contain high voltage circuitry that can cause significant harm.
