What you need to know!

• The Elinchrom Deflector Set gives photographers the freedom to easily modify the hardness / softness of their lights.

 

• Deflectors can eliminate, soften or tone sharp shadow edges. Very efficient with the Elinchrom softbox and reflector range. 

 

• Just connect a rod to your chosen deflector and slot it into the umbrella tube on your Elinchrom flash head.

 

• You're ready to Go!

 

But also:

 

• One of the unique features of Elinchrom is the centered umbrella tube, enabling you the choice of which Deflector to be used with a wide range of Elinchrom heads and accessories.

• With the front diffuser removed, the Portalite softbox is effectively a fold up beauty dish, the only difference being that any catch-light from the Portalite will be square, where with a beauty dish it would be round.

• With the Portalite assembled without the diffuser, the direct flash light creates a very hard edged shadow, which is partially filled in with the softer but un-diffused light reflecting from the silver fabric of the softbox.

• Each deflector when fitted, simply modifies the relative proportions of the hard direct light from the flashtube, and the softer reflected un-diffused light from the silver fabric.

• The translucent and clear deflectors allow some direct light but diffuse it to a greater or lesser extent.

• The silver and gold deflectors completely block the direct light from the flashtube, removing harsh edged shadows and leaving just the light that has hit the modifier.

• To this can then be added further softness by adding the Portalite diffuser to the front of the softbox.

• And it’s uniquely Elinchrom!
