The sweep has Velcro tabs on each end. The end designed to be the
bottom, uses Velcro on each side, whereas the top is the edge with
Velcro on only one side. Attach the Velcro tabs on the corners of
the top of the sweep to the tabs at the top of the back panel inside
the LiteIgloo (Figure 23). The bottom of the sweep can be attached
to the bottom of the igloo using either of two Velcro positions at the
end of the sweep. The bottom edge of the sweep can be folded over
for a shorter more curved background. Many photographers prefer
to use the unit without the sweeps and just remove the background
in PhotoShop
®
. The Blue sweep can be used for Chroma key
knock-outs typically associated with video or Photoshop.
Collapsing Your LiteIgloo (Make it implode!)
Position the LiteIgloo with the Velcro door panels face up. Grab the
middle of the section where the two tension rings meet (Figure 24)
and push that section to meet the opposite section (Figure 25). Then
closethetwosectionstogethertotinthestoragebag(Figure 26,
27 and 28).
Note: When collapsing the LiteIgloo it will take some force to
implode the unit. The steel frame can withstand this with no
problem.
The large LiteIgloo requires an extra step of twisting the frame in
thirds, just like the LiteDisc
