Softbox Grid Elinchrom Rotagrid Deep 70 cm for studio lighting modifiers

Elinchrom Rotagrid Deep 70 cm is a 70 cm softbox grid designed to control light spill and refine beam direction for studio flash and continuous lighting. The grid fastens to compatible Elinchrom softboxes and modifiers to increase contrast, reduce stray light and help sculpt highlights. It is intended for photographers and videographers who need precise directional control without altering the modifier’s core quality of light.

Advantages

The Rotagrid Deep narrows the light spread while preserving softbox softness, enabling tighter control over shadows and contrast. Its deep cell design reduces flare and unwanted illumination outside the subject area, making it easier to isolate subjects and maintain clean backgrounds. The grid is low-profile, simple to attach and remove, and compatible with matching Elinchrom modifiers for consistent mounting and reliable alignment.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait photography where controlled, directional light is required
• Product and e-commerce photography to limit reflections and spill
• Commercial and editorial shoots requiring sculpted highlights and contrast
• Video interviews and controlled lighting setups for consistent beam shaping

Key specifications

• Grid type: deep honeycomb grid for focused beam control
• Diameter: designed for a 70 cm softbox
• Cell shape: hexagonal cells to minimize light leakage
• Effect on light: reduces spread and increases local contrast without hardening the light source dramatically
• Attachment: mounts to compatible softbox front frames for secure fit
• Material: lightweight fabric with rigid cell structure to retain shape

How to use

Attach the Rotagrid Deep to the front frame of a compatible 70 cm Elinchrom softbox, ensuring the grid aligns with the softbox edges and secures evenly along the perimeter. Use with studio flash or continuous lights as part of a standard modifier setup; position the light and softbox at the desired distance and angle to shape shadows and highlights. Remove the grid when a wider, less directional light is needed and reattach when tighter control is required.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, start with the grid centered and the softbox slightly above eye level to create modeled facial shadows. For product photography, pair the grid with flags or background control to limit spill and maintain uniform backgrounds. Combine with additional modifiers such as reflectors or fill lights at low intensity to preserve soft shadows while retaining the directional quality provided by the grid.
