© Tom BolTom Bol shares his experience using the ELB 400 and mixing wedding with sport photography.
"The ELB 400s were the perfect choice for this shoot. They're lightweight, barely over 4 pounds, they're very portable, and they have tons of power!
Using the Elinchrom Skyport allowed me to control the light in very difficult places to get to. Some lights were hanging on the side of the cliff that no one was near. So, being able to adjust the output from the camera is a huge benefit to me in this photography."
This narrow shaped Deep Octa reduces the spread of light and offers sharper shadows compared to standard sized octagonal softboxes. It provides a very even diffuse light over the front screen and is an excellent crispy and direct light when used without diffusers to give a beauty dish look.
The ideal softbox on location.
The Deep Octa 70 cm is an excellent crispy and direct light when used without the internal and external diffusers. Perfect for beauty and fashion. The narrow shape reduces the spread of light and offers sharper shadows compared to standard sized octagonal softboxes.
Enables photographers to use any accessory of the Elinchrom range such as Rotalux and Litemotiv softoxes or any other EL accessory on the Quadra flash heads.
Beware when using heavier third-party accessories, as these might put stress on the Q-Reflector Adapter MK-II.
LIGHT SHAPERS FOR THE ELB 400 & 500
