Thank you so much, Brian! I just got my softbox kit with NO instructions AT ALL and I was freaking out! Thanks you!
not even a single fucking instruction darling. its simply frustrating. guuhh in this age?
Considering nowadays a car battery comes with instructions ‘Do not drink the fluid’ you’d think there would definitely be instructions for this complex little gadget 😅😅😅
YOU saved the day. I was ready to send this thing back because I couldn't figure out some of the parts. This was a great video.
Omg I am so happy to hear that! Rock on!
Like seriously, you should consider doing a video review on Amazon for this product. This would help so many people like me. YOU ROCK!!!
Lol thanks beautiful friend!!! I totally am NOT an expert in this stuff and yet I am so glad this helped people. What videos are you making?
Brian Greco Hey!!! I make natural hair videos, but I'm going to make self empowerment videos. I enjoyed your video on happiness. I TOTALLY get the story element behind feelings.
LOL ME TOO!!!!!
This video was a LIFESAVER! It took me forever to even figure what pieces went where! Your assembly method was so much clearer!
Finally an instructional video that a) gets to the point, b) gives clear concise directions and c), doesn't skip any steps! Thank you so much!!!
You did an awesome job explaining everything perfectly!
Brian,
This is a perfect instance of someone taking the time to provide a resource for others without asking for anything in return. Your video is clear, instructive and made all the difference in my set-up time. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise. Fancierstudio should hire you to make instructional videos for their entire product line. Well done!
You are very welcome! So glad you got value out of this video and thanks for the compliment
Thank you so much, I bought a different brand and it didn't come with any instructions, but the steps were fairly similar and i never would've figured it out without this video.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME FROM WHAT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING MORNING/AFTERNOON! I love that I live in an era when one can access this kind of knowledge on a whim. Thank you for taking the time and having the desire to show other people how to set this stuff up.
This was fantastic. made my setup a breeze after an unsuccessful attempt before I watched your vid. One point to note though, you can actually leave the cap on, the fittings actuallly mold to it.
Thank you for your help! (and for being fresh and energetic and not having a creepy-faceless-voiceover video!)
Danielle Ate the Sandwich haha - for sure!
Danielle Ate the Sandwich I've had enough of creepy faceless-voiceover videos!
Brian Bro man thank you so much I have had these lights for like at least three years and never set up the soft box with it right. And now me and my nephew were in the garage looking like two total geniuses trying to set this up. And neither one of us thought to look to place the metal bars onto the light fixture itself. You are a God send bro. Thank you very very much for taking the time out of your day, to care enough to help others like myself that you don’t even know. Love to you man. Thanks again 🙌
I just got my first softbox today and it was not intuitive at all to put together. I found your video and it was super easy to follow and understand. I now have my first softbox ready for its debut thanks to you!
Brian, you seriously rock! You not only helped me set up my lights but heck you probably saved my marriage!! My hubby and I were doing it together. I agree with all the rest. I think these companies should HIRE you! I set up a Cowboy Studio set with your instructions! Hats off to you bud!
Wow, thanks so much for this wonderful comment! I had no idea this video would be so popular lol.
Very very helpful! Thank you so much for putting this up.
Just a comment, the outer diffuser comes packed with the seams inverted (inside out) for packing. You have to turn them in order for the corners to slide on a bit tighter as well as for the velcro to be on the correct side.
I’m so glad you didn’t give up after take 32. Mine just arrived today and to my disappointment without any instructions. After trying on my on...I realized I need help! Thanks for putting this video together.
Sincerest thank you imaginable!! I had gotten a different brand that came with ZERO instructions for set up other than saying it was “easy” and EVERY other video out there that said it was a how-to literally said nothing or next to nothing about the procedures and fast forward time lapses through the actual set up!!
So, seriously, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for being so thorough and clear in this video.
I’ll be using my light kit for my self-taped auditions as an actor, helping others tape theirs and maybe even my own short films!
I hope your films and all projects are going splendidly and May we get to work together in the future!!!
Thanks A LOT for your tutorial. I've already bought this Andoer Kit and i was wondering how to install the light box.
Great job Brian! Been looking for some good lighting for my shop vids... I think you just sold me on this!
Joe
Thanks Joe! Go ahead and use the link in the description to support the vid :)
Whoa! Love the practice of putting the lightbox apparatus on the Bowens mount first then using the rods to attach the softbox. Genius. I've been trying to build the softbox on the floor first. Your way is way better. Thanks
This is how every tutorial should be, very clear and you are entertaining to watch. I was researching for light kits and I think you did such a good job showing the product so clearly that I feel more comfortable buying it. Cheers!
Great video! Dude, you're a lifesaver. Mine came with no instructions and i was super anxious that I'll mess it up. Thanks a lot for the help
Thank YOU, Brian. I have to film in 3 hours and opened my kit for the first time. I was really at a loss, as to the assembly. You saved my shoot! :)
Yay! So happy to hear this Syl! Where can we watch your video when it's up? :-)
You saved my day, too! The description for assembling the parts is very bad. So I looked for somebody like you. Because the sides have not the same length (it is a rectangle as said in the manual) and the rods are inserted in a square, I did not dare to bend the bars so far forward. You showed me how to do it.
Thank you a lot!
Thank you so much! I was having the hardest time with this, couldn't find the holes in the socket to put in the braces for the box and the directions were useless. Really appreciate you making this.
You just saved my sanity with this video!!
Haha 100% agred
Thanks for all the comments guys! This cracks me up. I made this video on a whim and never thought anyone would see it. Now it has become the foremost video on this product, lol. Please comment and tell me what videos you are making with these lights! Rock on!
This was super useful! Thank you for posting it.
Brian Greco I'm using them for cooking videos
I'll take that whim!! My buddy sent me this link after he used it and probably saved me from an utter breakdown! Very cool Brian. Thank you for taking the time to help me and so many others.
Sounds like you owe Brian some of that delicious Hot Brown!
IM in Mexico but when I get back to the states I'll use your set up and order on your link. THANKS AGAIN
Very good how-to video (I appreciate that it's a few years old, but well done anyway). I did smile at your blush when you couldn't name the frame components. Thanks for posting.
I consider myself as a queen in putting things together but I struggled with this thing for an hour and a half before giving up and going to UA-cam and sir you are a freaking genius I love you !
Thanks. I'm sure you saved me hours. You are very articulate.
+Kelly Ladd Thank you
The rounded end DOES NOT go in the fixture the smaller end does - it has a "stopper" so it doesn't keep going into the fixture and possibly damage your light. Also NEVER tighten CFL lights from the glass lamp, do it from the base or they could crack and break. The light can go either horizontal or vertical BTW
You saved my day !!! I was about to return this kit, then I found your video and it took me 10 seconds to mount it ! You’re genius mate ! 👍🏻😊 thank you sooo much !!
Thank you for this video! I just bought a set of these and they are a bit different, but your instructions were great. The new soft-boxes have an elastic band around the throat that goes over the light hosing. There's still Velcro around the edges and at the corners, but the Velcro on the throat opening is gone. The problem I had was with the rods that insert behind the Velcro at the corners. You didn't really make it clear that there were two pieces to the corner Velcro and that the rods slipped between them, but when you inserted that last rod, it really made sense!
Also, the rods no longer have a sharp end...both sides are rounded, but one has a flare-out, or a flange, look to it. I used the smoother side in the Velcro and the flanged side in the light fixture and it seems right.
Thanks again!
Thanks so much! My assembly process was made up of a whole bunch of swear words until I saw your video. Haha. Now the lights are up and running thanks to your help! Cheers matey 😊
hahahahaha
mine too lol
OMG thank you so much 🙈👏👏👏👏 I couldn't figure it out
This was SOOOO HELPFUL! You were clear, to the point, and just in case anyone is wondering this set up video works for the Neewer 50x70 softbox light. Thank you much !!
Thanks, Brian! I just got my kit and the instructions were confusing! Your way of setting them up seems so much easier than the way shown in the instructions. This is why I am grateful for UA-cam! I can usually find the answer I'm looking for! Thanks, for taking the time to make this tutorial!
My boyfriend insisted I comment and let you know that you made his life SO much easier!!! We had been working with the rods for hours because the instructions are so horribly made. Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!
+Shamil Alli Aww
+Brian Greco I'll be doing makeup tutorials, I'm going to upload my first video on my new channel in a few days! Thank you so much, again! This video was so awesome.
Shamil Alli horribly 😂
My box came without instructions so I spent hours trying until I found this video.
You should watch Carly and Erin's last video
Lol just saw it now!
I followed the instructions included with the set and struggled for 20 minutes. I found this video and followed the instructions and was done in 5 minutes. Many thanks to you Mr. Greco.
thanx mine was a single bulb unit with internal spacers your demo helped me deal with the problem of spreading the internal spars
*obligatory post about being here from Carly and Erin*
Lol just saw this now!
CARLY AND ERIN LOVE U
LOL just saw it now!
I tried for two hours putting this light together on my own. Then, I turned to UA-cam. Had it together in 15 mins. Thank you so much!
Hey Brian, just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you for having made this vid and posted it. I ordered 2 soft boxes for really cheap from Walmart ($58 for both that are exactly like your's), but they came with absolutely no instructions, even tho the advert said they came with "notes". Ha ha. Guess you get what you pay for. I would have had no clue how to do the support poles in the actual soft box itself without you. The support poles are in place and my soft boxes are up. I did have to do them a few times over cuz I set them up at the wrong angle, but SUCCESS! Couldn't have done it without you!
Rock on!
CARLY AND ERIN ANYONE!?
Joe Sezure YES
LOL just saw this now!
Hey I just wanna say you are honestly my life saver! I received mine with no manual or instruction book or even a sheet of paper. I started assembling and had no idea what I was doing then I was just trying to work it all out for legit 2 hours and then gave up and decided to look on UA-cam. I came across many videos but yours was the most useful and friendly and then after watching your video I assembled my 2 softl ighting boxes in 5 mins 😂😂😂 So thankyou so much!! ❤️
Your video was very helpful when it came to the rods. At first, I was trying to set up the soft box vertically like yours but after a few minutes I figured out that mine actually goes horizontally instead. LOL. While I was putting the inner diffuser, one of the strips ripped off the white velcro but I was able to fix that by stapling the string back to the white velcro. I have enjoyed your video with the step-by-step instruction especially when the instructions that came with my green screen studio is not the right one for the soft box lighting. I am planning on using the soft box along with the green screen for church videos, website video, a short movie I am going to be working on shortly and so many other projects.
Hi Brian,
I was very pleased with your instruction. I had purchase a lighbox kit with three softboxes (not the Fancier Studios brand). It did not come with instructions. I got a little confused about how to attach the four little rods to the lamp base. The base had a number of little holes around it and it did not occur to me, nor did they look like they were designed to accept the four little rods because there were about 8 or so of the little holes. I had looked a couple UA-cam videos, one of which had the info that I wanted but it had nothing verbal, just music, and the video was set to play at supersonic speed. Needless to say, that video was useless. I found you video and just wanted to tell you that it is very well done and I got the info I needed.
Thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Hey there. Thanks for the tip on the 4 thingamajiggies. I didn’t think they belonged in those slots behind the light but after watching your video, I’ve got some confidence now.
I assembled one of my soft boxes following the directions that came in the box, it took a while as I struggled using the technique given. I had to do it twice because there was no hint that you should pay attention to the holes chosen to insert the rods into. After I put it on the stand it was sitting in a diagonal direction. I don't think it matters but it looked odd. After watching your technique I assembled the other one in about 60 seconds. Thanks!!!!!!
super duper helpful. I got these lights for my studio and left last night because I couldnt get it right. Im heading back there with confidence now to get it done thanks to u!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I just bought a set similar (2/2020), and was completely puzzled about set-up, especially that crazy black nut at the top of each pole. My trouble now is how to set up the lightbox on the boom! Again, thanks!
Thanks for your help.I was absolutely freaking out. The only detail is that for the last step you should turn it out and then the velcro fits perfectly.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO BABE!!! I got my soft boxes yesterday and i’m dreading setting them up but this made it look fairly easy!!! ❤️
Thank you so much Brian! I was just attempting to set up my soft box kit, which had no instructions!!! You are a life saver!!! God bless you!🙏❤️🌞✨
Thank you x a million for this. I LITERALLY was in tears because I got stuck on one stupid step of this setup and I asked God for help, sat at my desk, looked up UA-cam videos on this... and bam.. there you were with my exact kit. XOXOXO to you for doing this. I wish you tons of blessings because you just made my day so much easier!
I just picked this light setup used and didn’t know how to assemble. This video was exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Every video I watch about this lighting Kit everyone leaves the Black tip on the stands there Threaded but you nailed it thank you your awesome for knowing that.
Thank you so much for this tutorial Brian! I was so frustrated trying to use their minimal directions. I am pretty good at figuring things out, but this didn't even list or number parts and their NO instruction at all for the boom arm. Your way of putting together the hood and spokes worked much better than their directions. Thanks, they should pay you!
All these years later, you just helped me change how I can work in my art business. Thought I'd never get these lights set up. Phew! 🤦🏽♀️🙏🏽
Thank you for making this such a simple video. I'm trying to fix up my home photography studio and I have so much to learn. You spoke to exactly what I was looking for. I hate when I search for something and they talk about so much more than what you were looking for. But did great. Thanks.
You are the goat I’m literally frustrated like hey this thing does not have an owners manual how am I supposed to get these little stick metal things in your video you literally the BEST description. You literally have the one & only video that really shows us what to do.
Thank you Brian for taking the time to explain. I went to others but they did not explain the set up as well as you did. Especially the rods.
Thank you! Maybe I would have figured out how to set up my studio lights on my own (they didn't come with instructions), but you saved me a lot of time and probably kept me from damaging anything along the way.
A year on and still saving people's sanity. Thanks a heap Brian! - from Australia
Thanks Brian - You explanation was a massive help to me as this was my first setup of a set of studio light - I at least now understand what all the pieces are for - the set I purchased came without written instructions - you were a life saver!
THANK YOU. I’m using this kit for our 48 hour film festival next weekend and I would have been so frustrated without this video to help me. You’re the best
Thanks so much for creating this video, Brian! You're right, the setup directions were less than useless. The backdrops appear to be slightly less complicated, but with any luck you've done a video for that as well. Good job!
WoW, thank you so much for your "easy to follow" instructions on setting this up! I need new lighting... my Smith Victor light set has seen better days. One side is NOT firing all the time. I know I need new lights but I'm afraid to change up too much. Your video truly was helpful.
Brian, you are a godsend. There were no instructions in my kit whatsoever. I was totally lost. After watching your video I feel like I can do it in just under 10 minutes just like you did. Thanks a bunch and may God bless.
so happy this helped~!~!
That was great, Brian. There were literally no instructions with the kit, so your video was a life saver. Thank you very much.
This is by far the only tutorial online that showed me how to set this up properly. No instructions came it. I literally would be pulling my hair out trying to set it up without your help. Thank you. You do great things for the world posting content like this. It's appreciated. Happily subscribed to your channel. You rule!
Rock on!
Thank God for UA-cam and wonderful people like you to teach us how to do things!! 😘 Great video! Many thanks.
Thank you up so much for the details. This was driving me nuts some minutes ago. I totally missed the tiny pouches at the end of the velcro where the rods are met to be inserted
THANKS a TON Brian! I was about to throw something..... probably would have been one of my new softbox stands or a light bulb!!! LOL My kit did NOT come with ANY instructions!! Plus, I was convinced they sent me a kit with umbrellas, I had no idea the soft box was constructed like that! Perfect video, excellent instructions, quick and to the point, to get me on my way! Thank you for taking the time to shoot and post this video! You are AMAZING! ;)
This video was a life saver! My soft box kit came with no instructions and was incredibly puzzled on how to set it up until I saw this. THANK YOU SO MUCH XXX
Glad to help!
Thank You SO much, when I 1st opened my lighting kit I had no idea on how to put it all together. I looked a good while for videos and instructions, and when I came across yours I set up my lights in a matter of minutes. Easy instructions, Thanks Again... 😀😎
Brian, thank you so much for your very easy & simple step by step 'on-point' instructions on how to set up the soft box set. I easily followed along step by step & was able to successfully set it up & did a test video. God bless!
That was such a great video! I loved that it wasn't really edited or rehearsed and walked me through the steps in real time. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much I just got the softbox and struggled for half an hour your video is very helpful
I ordered a different brand but the same set up obviously. They didn’t send any damn instructions! Im glad I found this video! Haha. Great werk putting it together.
Thank you for filming this! FINALLY got my boxes set up thanks to you. I was having a total meltdown trying to figure it out on my own.
thank you so much, Brian! It's 2023 and your video is still helping people!
Thank you sooooooo much for explaining all this in such a lovely relatable manner. I had started setting these lights up and was making myself crazy as it kept falling apart. You saved the day. Hugs.
Brian. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I Have the lighing and defuser from AMazon, and was absolutely stumped trying to adhere to the quik=ck-Ref guide that cam with the product.
You save me time and frustration. Thanks again. - Aaron
Thank you soooo much for doing this video! This would have taken me HOURS and it literally took minutes. When you get older you will realize how valuable saving time is so thank you! I see this video was made years ago. I hope you are still creating content and being a blessing to people. Merry Christmas 2022!
I have similar softbox from another company , It doesn't come with instructions but your video did the job very well. The assembly steps are same.
Thank you very much.
We had given up setting up ours (there were no instructions with our lights) but this proved really helpful. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the real life demonstration on the softbox set up. Well done, easy to understand and for me - very helpful.
Thanks a lot. I honestly was having the hardest time understanding how to set up the rods, but you explained it perfect.
Had a different brand of light kit but the same format really. Saved me loads of time. Thank you
Thank you so much. Early in the video you said, “ Take the little black piece off the stand and put it where u keep annoying little things.” I didn’t realize that had to come off and it made ALL the difference! Ty again!!!!!
LOL!
Brian, wow, your instructions are so clear. So much better than what came with the lights. Your instructional video is the best that I have found so far. Thank you Brian. I am putting my lights together today.
I have my first ever shoot coming up and my package didn't come with instructions. I'm glad I found this video because it's information and step by step assembly has been very well done.
thank you Sazume!
HUGE help!! The directions that came with our lighting package was awful! Thank you very much for this great video!
Brian, thank you so much for this useful contribution. I got a softbox kit recently and I was lost with putting on the hoods until I found your vid. Keep up the good work my friend. Shane
Life saver bud. Mine never came with any instructions? I got the Volk well Softbox (exactly the same as yours but no Velcro at the base of the lights). Really appreciate this video as it was driving me nuts. Cheers mate :)
Really useful, thank you! Didn't bother with the instructions, just used your vid and was set up really quickly :) I'm in the UK so my version was by photogeeks, but probably the same manufacturer since they're essentially the same.
Wasn't this product exactly but a similar one, I was so lost when I opened the box up and this helped so much! thanks!
This was a HUGE help. Saved me tons of time and frustration. Took me no time to set up once I watched this video. Thanks Brian!
