My poor apollo softbox took a tumble today and he is in a lot of pain. Poor guy broke one of the ribs. He had fallen once before and had a bruise rib, which was being cared for by some duct and electrical tape. This morning it was too much when I attempted to open him up for some use and the strain was too much for him to bare.

Anyone have any experience with this and know how to fix it? I was thinking of splinting it, but didn't know what to do with since it is right at the first elbow. I have read online at purchasing ribs, but they are like $60. I think if I am going to spend that much, I might as well get another or the orb. Since it is the same material as your basic umbrella, that advise could work too.

Little help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jayson
