mm.....after getting the tent into the 8 shape, fold the bottom part up to upper part of the 8. You need to twist the bottom 8 while folding it up. use some strength, but don't force, let the nature of spring guide you into position. keep trying, you're get it right. alternatively, if you can come to my place, i'll teach you how to do it

 

[erictan8888]

thanks.... will try again.....
anyway, the tent is good... like it very much.. thanks

just to share, just to share a pic taken with the light tent:

Hi everyone,

Does anyone uses this studio light on Minolta Dynax 5D. The Hotshoe adaptor supplied cannot fit into my Hotshoe as I realised it uses a different strange standard compare to the normal ISO type. Do I need to buy another converter to convert to ISO ?

So now I can only trigger the slave flash using my external flash. Is this correct or am I missing something ?

Also experiencing the flash do not trigger when I plug the Hotshoe adaptor on 350D.
