Reflector Elinchrom 26171 Round Grey 21 cm

The Elinchrom 26171 Round Grey Reflector 21 cm delivers high output with an even spread of light, suitable for studio photography. With a 21 cm diameter, this round reflector is intended for use on compatible Elinchrom heads and serves both as a base for lighting modifiers and for direct illumination of subjects. It provides soft, controlled light that helps reduce harsh shadows and improve image quality in portrait and product shoots.

Its round shape and grey interior help maintain natural contrast while softening highlights. It is compatible with accessory holders and common modifiers such as barndoors, honeycomb grids, gels and diffusers, expanding creative control over direction and quality of light.

How to use

Mount the reflector on a compatible Elinchrom flash head or adapter, ensuring it is securely fitted. Combine with barndoors, honeycomb grid, gels or a diffuser as needed to shape the beam and adjust contrast. Position the reflector at the desired angle and distance from the subject to control shadow softness and highlight distribution; moving it closer increases light intensity and softness, while moving it farther reduces intensity and widens spread.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, pair the reflector with a soft diffuser or a mild grid to retain even skin tones while controlling falloff. For product photography, use gels to match ambient color or barndoors to isolate the light on specific areas of the subject.
