Softbox grid Elinchrom Rotagrid Square 70cm – Elinchrom E26774, square grid for 70 cm softboxes

Elinchrom Rotagrid Square 70cm is a square grid accessory designed to fit 70 cm softboxes and provide improved directional control of studio light. The grid attaches to the softbox front and narrows the light beam to reduce spill, increase contrast, and help produce more defined highlights and controlled shadows. It is compatible with Elinchrom softbox models sized for a 70 cm square front and is suitable for photographers who require precise shaping of light in portrait, product, and commercial studio work.

Advantages

The Rotagrid Square 70cm offers consistent grid cell construction that maintains even light falloff while limiting lateral spread. Its secure attachment system keeps the grid aligned with the softbox front, preserving the intended beam angle during shooting. By reducing stray light, the grid enhances subject separation from backgrounds and supports selective illumination without altering the softbox diffusion characteristics significantly.

Suitable for

• Studio portraiture requiring controlled highlights and shadow shaping
• Product and still-life photography where reduced light spill is important
• Commercial shoots that need precise directional lighting and contrast control
• Situations where targeted accent lighting from a softbox is preferred

Key specifications

• Shape: square grid designed for 70 cm softboxes
• Function: limits light spill and narrows beam for improved directionality
• Material: fabric honeycomb grid construction for consistent cell geometry
• Attachment: designed to mount to the softbox front for stable alignment
• Compatibility: intended for softboxes with a 70 cm square front opening

How to use

Attach the Rotagrid to the front of the 70 cm softbox following the softbox manufacturer’s mounting method, ensuring the grid is centered and securely fastened. Position the softbox and adjust distance to subject to achieve the desired beam width and contrast. Use the grid with the existing softbox diffuser in place to preserve soft qualities while tightening the light spread. Fine-tune modifier angle and power settings on your light source to balance highlight definition and shadow depth.

Usage recommendations

Use the grid when you need to control spill onto backgrounds or to create accent lighting without introducing harsh hard-light characteristics. Combine with other modifiers or flags as necessary to further shape light, and check framing to ensure the grid’s directional effect aligns with composition goals.
