matt215 3 Posted August 21, 2014 I just ordered a fiber optic snoot attachment for my Ikelite DS 125s. I'm wanting to know how to position these strobes. I have 2 arms on 1 strobe. Position both from the side? One above and one from the side? Straight on? I'm trying to minimize lighting the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdoug1 56 Posted August 24, 2014 All of the positions you mention will work, just be creative! Positioning the snoots straight on will let you set your camera for a slightly darker background, but not significantly, but do max out the strobe output if you want a darker background with a properly illuminated subject.

bvanant 153 Posted August 25, 2014 Good luck. In my hands at least putting the snooted strobe off camera is by far the best and easiest solution. Put the strobe on a tripod and go from there. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
