Elinchrom Rotalux Deep Octa 70 cm. With its deep, octagonal design, the Rotalux Deep Octa 70 provides focused, soft lighting. Perfect for portraits, among other things, as the softbox gives a round reflection in the eyes and the deep design provides great control over the light flow. A very popular feature of the Rotalux Deep Octa is that the light quality can quickly and easily be changed from soft to hard by removing the outer or both diffuser cloths.

- Versatile Light Modification Options - The Deep Octa shape allows for greater control over light fall-off and can be used with different Elinchrom modifiers
Super Compact Design
The Deep Octa 70 cm is very popular for on-location photography due to its compact size and light weight. The softbox is easy to handle on a lighting boom, especially when combined with the Elinchrom ELB and its lightweight lamp heads.
Wide Variation of Light Patterns
With both diffuser cloths mounted, the Deep Octa 70 cm provides soft light that, thanks to the deep design, is easy to control and offers high light output. By removing the outer diffuser cloth, you get a slightly crisper light with a nice transition to shadow. If both cloths are removed, the light becomes directional and relatively hard, somewhat similar to the light from a Beauty Dish. Combine with a deflector to remove the hotspot from the flash tube.
Elinchrom Rotalux
Elinchrom's Rotalux system is probably the most copied softboxes in the world due to their simple and smart design. But while the design can be copied, the quality cannot, making Elinchrom Rotalux a class of its own.
Extremely Even Light Distribution
Like all of Elinchrom's lighting tools, the geometry of the Rotalux softboxes is precisely adapted to the focal length and light pattern of all Elinchrom lamp heads. These features, along with dual diffusion cloths, provide the exceptionally even light that Elinchrom softboxes are known for.
Rotalux Speedring (Sold Separately)
The heart of Rotalux softboxes is the patented Rotalux mount, which allows the softbox to rotate within the mount. The Rotalux Speedring has been designed to make assembly and use extremely simple. They can be quickly and easily folded up like an umbrella for transport in a compact bag. The Rotalux Speedring (not included) is compatible with most flash brands on the market, allowing the softboxes to be mounted directly onto other flash brands without any adapter. All of Rotalux’s unique features are retained.
Additional Accessories
Both outer and inner diffusion cloths are included as standard. An optional Rotagrid is available for increased control over the light flow, perfect when you want to avoid light from the softbox hitting the background or when you want to highlight details in the image. Thanks to the centrally located umbrella mount on Elinchrom, Rotalux softboxes can be combined with deflectors (EL-26310). The different materials in the deflector set create different light qualities and can be used in combination with diffusion cloths, or, if a harder light is desired, in a softbox without diffuser cloths.
Includes:
- 1 Reflector Cloth
- 1 Outer Diffusion Cloth
- 1 Inner Diffusion Cloth
- 8 Rods
- 1 Carrying Bag
Note: Speedring not included and must be purchased separately.
