Attaching the LitePanel Mounting Hardware to LitePanel Frames:
Note: You should have the assembled LitePanel frame lying on a flat
surface
Step 1 Disassemble the upper cover from the lower track mount
using the allen wrench. Figure 1
Note: There are two mounting options for the LitePanel Mounting
Hardware depending on your application:
A. If you are using the hardware with the LiteReach Plus extension
pole then you will only use one LitePanel hardware set. The
orientation of the lower track plate will have the swivel track in a 90
degree position in relation to the frame tube. Figure 2
Figure 1.
Figure 2.
B. If you are using the LitePanel hardware with two light stands to
mount the LitePanel overhead, two LitePanel hardware sets will be
required. The orientation of the lower track plate will have the swivel
track in a parallel position in relation to the frame tube. Figure 3
Note: For most applications it is recommended that you attach the
hardware in the middle of the width of the frame for the best balance
and stability.

Alternatively, the hardware can be attached so that the track plate is
facing out from the edge of the frame. In this configuration, a second
fabric can be attached on the opposite side for a quick change of
reflector surfaces or for double diffusion. Figure 7
Step 5 With either one or two upper and lower components attached
to the frame. Slide the swivel stand mount onto the swivel track on the
lower plate and tighten the set screw knob. Figures 8-9
Figure 7.
Figure 8.
Tip: When using the LitePanels extended like a boom as shown in figure
10, put the swivel handle on your left side when attaching it to the
mounting track. In this way, gravity works with you allowing the weight
of the LitePanel to further tighten the swivel rather than loosen it.
With the Hardware securely attached, it is now ready to be placed on a
Photoflex LiteStand or the LiteReach Plus hand held extension. Figures 10-12
