If you tighten it too much you can flatten the umbrella shaft. If you have a hollow shaft, force a pencil into the shaft to keep it from flattening.kgarrisonWed, 10 Dec 2008 13:34:35 -0000http://cameradojo.com/2007/06/12/ba-wang-sl-150-studio-flash/#comment-4312433well when i tried to put the umbrella shaft into the light, it flattened the tube. Do i need to remove that little metal piece?JRWed, 10 Dec 2008 13:22:50 -0000http://cameradojo.com/2007/06/12/ba-wang-sl-150-studio-flash/#comment-4311926The umbrella shaft just slides into the front in the hole under the main unit. The light then shoots into the open umbrella. Think of it like a satellite dish, the flash fires into the dish and then is reflected back past the flash. With a Shoot-thru umbrella you point the umbrella at the subject instead of having it reflect back past the flash. We will be having a tutorial on umbrellas soon.kgarrisonWed, 10 Dec 2008 12:52:59 -0000http://cameradojo.com/2007/06/12/ba-wang-sl-150-studio-flash/#comment-4311810I am a novice and am not sure I am putting the umbrellas on right.
