Characteristics
The easy mounting Rotalux system is probably the most widely copied of all
Softbox systems. However, it is easier to copy a design than a quality and they
remain the best units in their class.
What continues to make the Elinchrom units unique are the optional sets of
deflectors – gold, silver, frosted and translucent that enable the softness / hard-
ness and colour to be modified; fitting centrally over the flashtube at your chosen
distance. Folding down like an umbrella, they are easily transported or just kept
clean, in their included carrying bag.
Rotalux Speedring with improved mechanics and extremely lightweight, only
370 g. Improved finish of the Rotalux reflector tissue with grey piping for better
light efficiency. 360° revolving system.
Folds down like an umbrella, without dismounting the softbox.
Carrying bag for a folded Rotalux is included. Optional Rotagrids to control the
light spread, are available for all Rotalux sizes.
