Softbox Elinchrom Rotalux 350×250×1000 mm, black nylon

The Elinchrom Rotalux softbox in black nylon, sized 350×250×1000 mm, is a strip-style light modifier designed to shape and soften studio flash light. Its elongated rectangular form provides a narrow, controllable light spread that helps produce clean edge lighting, soft highlights and smooth falloff. The softbox is supplied with softbox rods, a black outer cover with silver interior, an internal diffuser, an external diffuser and a padded carrying bag, and it is compatible with multiple speedring mounts for straightforward attachment to a range of monolight and strobe systems.

Advantages

The nylon construction ensures a lightweight and portable unit while the silver interior maximizes reflectivity for efficient light output. The included internal and external diffusers deliver even, soft illumination and reduce hot spots, making it easier to control contrast and texture. The strip form factor enables precise directionality and strip-like catchlights, suitable for rim, hair and product edge lighting. A padded carrying bag and a choice of compatible speedrings provide flexible mounting and convenient transport for studio or on-location work.

Suitable for

• Portrait rim and hair lighting to create separation from the background
• Product and still-life photography where controlled, narrow illumination is required
• Fashion and editorial shoots for creating defined edge highlights and catchlights
• On-location assignments that require compact, easy-to-transport modifiers

How to use

Assemble the softbox by inserting the supplied rods into the frame and attaching the outer cover over the frame. Fit the internal diffuser first to soften the light directly in front of the source, then attach the external diffuser for additional diffusion and to eliminate remaining hot spots. Mount the appropriate speedring to your monolight or strobe, attach the softbox to the speedring and position the unit to shape the light as required. Use distance and angle adjustments to control the width and intensity of the strip effect; closer placement increases softness and coverage, while greater distance narrows the beam and increases shaping precision.

Usage recommendations

For portrait rim or hair lighting, position the stripbox behind and slightly above the subject at an angle to the hairline to produce narrow, defined highlights. For product work, place the stripbox parallel to the product edge to emphasize contours and create long, even reflections. Use grids or flags on the softbox edges if additional light control is needed to avoid spill onto the background.
