Abstract: A photography lightbank is extendable axially and radially to a larger size by an extension ring, which is removably attachable to the distal (front) end of the lightbank shroud. Extension rod connectors are configured for attachment of extension rods, which support the extension ring in outstretched configuration, to the distal ends of the primary support rods that support the lightbank shroud, while releasable fasteners attach the proximal end of the extension ring to the distal end of the shroud.

Abstract: A releasable attachment for a support rod of a lightbank assembly includes a rod anchor block that has at least one hole for receiving and retaining a proximal end of a support rod and is pivotally mounted in relation to a frame, such as a typical ring-shaped frame of the light bank assembly. A releasable latch mechanism, such as a pivotal lever or a slidable pin, with a latch surface engages a latch surface on or in the rod anchor block to releasably latch the rod anchor block against pivotal movement in relation to the frame, when the support rod and a reflector hood and diffuser panel mounted on the support rod, are extended to their outstretched, use configuration.
