There's a few videos about for this. Have a search on YouTube

It takes me 20 seconds but I see how it can get confusing lol

There's an excellent video on lastolite's site where Mark Cleghorn demonstrates a couple ways of getting the evil white monster back in it's bag.

I posted this on the DD blog the other day: http://blog.digitaldepot.co.uk/2011/02/lastolite-hilite-8x7-train/

I find with the 6x7 I can do it on my own piece of cake, with the 8x7 I often need 2 people as I find both the corners don't always seem to point in, I put a brief description on the blog above.

HTH

It's a doddle when you know how. Just think of it as a very big reflector.

Been through the frustration. The 1st few times I managed to wrestle it back into the bag, I thought I'd cracked it too . . . until the 1st job where there was a rush pull down and the panic stricken multi fold didn't work. It got bundled back in the van in a tangled heap. Happy days!!

That looks so easy going to have to get it out again and try it. I want to master it first as i dont want to look a numpty when i use it in somebody's home :bonk:
