Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox Black Silver 1350mm 420mm 1.19kg

The Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox Black Silver 1350mm (depth 420mm) is a lightweight octagonal softbox designed to deliver soft, even lighting for studio and location photography. Its foldable umbrella-style construction and included carrying bag make it portable and easy to store. The internal diffuser and translucent deflector produce a smooth, even light distribution; the deflector set (optional) uses Elinchrom’s central shaft to further modify light softness and colour characteristics.

Advantages

High-quality diffusing and reflecting fabrics and a second internal diffuser provide consistently soft light with minimal hotspots. The octabox folds down quickly and is compact for transport. Professional finishing details include grey rip piping, heavy-duty locking with a wing nut and easy snap locks. A translucent deflector is included to soften shadows, and optional Lighttools grids and hooded diffusers are available to reduce light spill and shape the beam.

Suitable for

• Portrait and beauty photography
