Product Information
Full details
The Elinchrom 30 Degree Rotagrid for Rotalux Squarebox is an essential light-shaping accessory designed for professional photographers and videographers who require precise control over their light spread. This tool effectively narrows the beam to 30 degrees, minimizing unwanted light spill and enhancing depth in fashion, portrait, and product photography. While it provides excellent directional control, it is important to note that the matching Rotalux Stackable External Diffuser is strictly required for mounting, which may add a step to your assembly process.

FAQs
Is this grid compatible with other softbox brands?
No, the Elinchrom Rotagrid is specifically engineered for the 70x70 Rotalux Squarebox.
What is the primary function of a 30-degree grid?
The primary function is to narrow the beam spread, reducing peripheral light spill for more directed, controlled lighting.
Can I use this without the external diffuser?
No, the matching Rotalux Stackable External Diffuser is required for proper installation.
How do I maintain the shape of the grid cells?
Store the grid in a flat position and avoid placing heavy items on top of it to prevent the grid cells from deforming.
Does this grid reduce the light output of my flash?
Yes, because the grid physically restricts a portion of the light, you will experience a slight reduction in total light output, which may require a small adjustment to your power settings.
Troubleshooting
Grid will not attach to the softbox
Verify that you have installed the mandatory Rotalux Stackable External Diffuser first, as the grid cannot mount directly to the softbox canopy.
Light is spilling outside the desired area
Ensure the grid is seated flush against the diffuser. Check that the light head is centered within the softbox to ensure the 30-degree beam is projected evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Rotagrid, you must first ensure that the Rotalux Stackable External Diffuser is properly attached to the front of your 70x70 Rotalux Squarebox. The grid is designed to mount onto this specific diffuser configuration. When not in use, the grid should be stored flat in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent the grid cells from bending or losing their shape. Avoid pressing heavy objects onto the grid during storage, as the cellular structure can be delicate. Regularly inspect the material for dust accumulation, which can be easily removed with a soft, dry brush or a gentle air duster.
