My soft box is missing slots for the rods. There is nowhere to place them so i cannot setup the softbox. Anyone else run into this issue?

The actual light has slots and the soft box has velcro to place the rods. Hope this helps

This happened to me too. I wound up contacting the seller, and they offered to ship me a new piece and have the old sent back to them. The new one also arrived damaged, but that one still had some screws in the box, and I was able to get a screwdriver and tighten the screws in. The first one was completely unfixable as the screws were missing and the holes in the wood were stripped.

I don't even have mine fully put together because I didn't receive the hardware. I sent the company an email and they sent a bag of hardware but was still missing the right ones. If I can find some this weekend to fit I'll let you know.

As per my review: mine lacked reinforcement rods in the stabilizer and elevator which caused an expensive ($100+) crash. No way I could know the rods were missing until I saw my friend's had them! Long after my crash.

I haven't tried attaching a softbox to it actually, but that is a good idea! It depends if the softbox will wrap around it. I assume you will have to possibly add velcro strips or tape to keep it on there temporarily. I actually like your idea of the softbox because even at it's lowest setting, it is very bright!

What kind of camera are you using? You might want to check if the short rods and long rods are in the right place.I thought I was missing something too when I first got my set.Check You tube. You may not find a video of how to put it together but you can visually get a good look of how its set up. Hope that helps.

the lights come unassembled. I put the lights on and it was just a matter of setting them on the rod and there are two knobs for tightening and adjusting the light. I have never used umbrellas or softboxes so I don't know how they attach but if they sit on the rod extension and tighten by a knob - then it is possible it would work.

Yes, just use the rods that come with the softbox and use this bracket instead of the included bracket.

I haven't tried a softbox on it yet, but they company might sell some on their website for this specific kit. www.cowboystudio.com.

I had the same problem until my son showed me how to put them together. But, maybe yours is different than mine. I thought I was going to have to buy an adapter but I was trying to put the new extension on first and then the the original on that. I had to add the extension on to the original. Once I put the original first and extension last it worked like it was supposed to. Not saying that will work for you but it did for me.

Unfortunately, I don't see any place to upload photos. But they did update the design of the boxes slightly. There's a purple ribbon on the left that says 'No Coding.' And 'Precision Xtra Systems' is printed at the bottom center of the box. If I can find a way to upload a photo, I'll do it ASAP. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hi there are compartments to store the reels seperately. Attaching the reels to the rods should also be no problem as you can remove the partitioned layers, although the rods maybe susceptible to falling from side to side in the case when you are moviing it. I hold 3 rods in each compartment and they are 10ft*4 piece) so your 5ft rods should be no problem

My husband says: each box consists of two rods. these two rods use a single coupler to join them. if you buy a second box (of rods), you can use the coupler from the second set to attach a third rod to the first two rods. The fourth rod, there is nothing to attach it. Another option is to remove the end caps and align the rods so they meet. Sorry for the delay. I'm not a good checker of email. Christina

That's a common problem. I've tried cutting them down to fit and just wedging them in... Neither worked very well at all. What has ultimately worked was drilling two holes in the front/top of the boxes and getting some fine gauge stainless steel wire and running the wire through the holes to attach to the cage. It seems like a lot of work, but honestly, I like the boxes enough to make the modifications worthwhile. Good luck!

I agree with Vicky below, I didn't get the right partsI was sent a box of replacement rods that was useless and did not fit the item.
