Softbox Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox Black Silver 1750mm 500mm 2.09kg

The Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox is a professional octagonal softbox with a 1750 mm diameter and 500 mm depth, designed for studio photography. It delivers very soft, even light thanks to high-quality diffusing and reflecting fabrics and an internal diffuser. The softbox is lightweight (2.09 kg), folds down like an umbrella and is supplied with a carrying bag for convenient storage and transport. The speed ring is not included and must be ordered separately.

Advantages

The Rotalux construction produces an even, high-quality light distribution; the included internal diffuser and translucent deflector reduce harsh shadows and smooth the light. Materials feature a reflective silver interior and durable outer fabric with grey rip piping and heavy-duty locking mechanisms. The softbox is easy to assemble and fold away, and optional accessories (hooded diffusers, deflector set and Lighttools grids) allow further control over light spread, hardness and colour.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait and fashion photography
• Product and still-life shoots
• Commercial and editorial lighting setups
• Location shoots requiring portable, high-quality soft light

Recommendations

For controlled light shaping, consider the optional deflector set and Lighttools grids; hooded diffusers reduce spill when a narrower beam is needed. Verify compatibility of the speed ring with your Elinchrom or third-party heads before purchase.
