Setting Up The 22-inch MultiDisc Kit

The most unique feature of this MultiDisc Kit is that it includes a new product, the LiteDisc Holder: compact, rather than the standard LiteDisc Holder. The new LiteDisc Holder: compact is made from the same sturdy materials as its bigger cousin, only it’s 7.5 inches shorter when fully collapsed. This allows for transport in smaller cases and it’s somewhat lighter in weight. [figure 1]

While the standard LiteDisc Holder can accommodate a 52” LiteDisc and smaller, the new LiteDisc Holder: compact accommodates LiteDiscs and MultiDiscs 32” in diameter and smaller.

The 22” MultiDisc Kit comes with the following equipment:

• A 22” MultiDisc, which offers four reflective options (Silver, Gold, Soft Gold, and White) and one diffused option (the main internal Disc without the fabric cover attached)
• A LiteDisc Holder: compact
• An LS-2214 LiteStand

Setting Up The Kit
To set up your kit, first grab your LiteDisc Holder: compact and clip one edge of your MultiDisc to the Holder. Don’t worry if the other clip does not appear to line up with the other edge of the MultiDisc – you’ll be able to adjust that next. [figures 2 & 3]

Next loosen the knob in the center of the Holder and extend the tubing out until the other clip is close to the opposite edge of the Disc. Make sure that the tubing runs down the center of the Disc for optimal stability and then attach the other clip to the opposite edge of the Disc. [figures 4 & 5]

If your Disc is bowed at all, you can easily adjust it with the knob in the center of the Holder. Loosen this knob and extend the tubing until the Disc is as flat as possible. Then tighten down the center knob. [figures 6 & 7]

Handholding the Disc and Holder
While the kit comes with a LiteStand, remember that you do not always have to use the Stand. In fact, there may be occasions where an assistant will do better acting as the Stand, such as in very windy conditions or where the Disc needs to be held way up high.

Not only does the LiteDisc Holder provide an assistant with more reach, it also keeps the MultiDisc flat so that your light reflections are smooth and even. With the MultiDisc mounted to the Holder, you can flip the Disc for a different reflective option quickly and easily. [figures 8 & 9]

Locking Down Any Position
When you don’t need your assistant to hold the LiteDisc Holder: compact or if you’re not using an assistant, you can mount the LiteDisc Holder: compact to the LiteStand and concentrate on other elements of the shot. After tightening down the knob on the swivel, you can spin the LiteDisc to any angle. Here, you can see that just by loosening the knob that tightens onto the tubing, you can rotate the Disc 180˚ within a matter of seconds. [figures 10 & 11]

Not only can you rotate the disc on the stand, but you can also adjust the swivel angle the Disc even further. The beauty of the LiteDisc Holder is that it allows you to secure virtually any position of your MultiDisc, all within seconds. [figures 12 & 13]

After spending just a few minutes with this new kit, you’ll be bouncing light like a pro!
