Product Information

Full details

The Elinchrom Rotagrid Strip 30 Degree is an essential light-shaping tool designed for professional studio photographers who utilize the Rotalux 35x100 strip softbox. This accessory provides precise directional control, allowing you to minimize light spill and define shadows for high-contrast, dramatic lighting setups. While it excels at sculpting light, users should note that it requires careful attachment to ensure the fabric remains taut for consistent beam performance.

FAQs

Can I use this grid on a softbox from a different brand?

No, the Rotagrid is specifically designed for the Elinchrom Rotalux 35x100cm strip softbox and will not securely fit other models.

Does the grid significantly reduce my light power?

Yes, adding any grid will result in a slight loss of light output, which can be compensated for by increasing your flash power or opening your aperture.

How do I store the grid to prevent damage?

It is best to store the grid rolled up or laid flat in a protective bag. Avoid folding it tightly, as this can create permanent creases in the grid cells.

Can the grid be used with continuous LED lights?

Yes, as long as the LED light is used inside the compatible Rotalux softbox and the light does not generate excessive heat that exceeds the softbox limits.

Will this fit the rectangular 35x100 Rotalux box?

Yes, this grid is specifically tailored for the 35x100cm strip version of the Rotalux series.

Troubleshooting

The grid appears to sag or droop in the center.

Ensure the tension on the softbox face is uniform and check that the hook-and-loop fasteners are fully engaged around the entire frame.

Light is still spilling outside the desired area.

Check that the grid is sitting flush against the softbox edge. Any gaps between the grid and the modifier will allow light to leak out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces unwanted light spill
  • Easy to install on compatible Rotalux softboxes
  • Perfect for creating edge lighting and dramatic rim light
  • Compact and lightweight for easy transport
  • Durable construction for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Requires a specific softbox model for compatibility
  • Can be prone to sagging if not attached correctly
  • Slight reduction in overall light output compared to using the softbox bare

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the grid, ensure the Rotalux softbox is fully assembled and mounted. The Rotagrid utilizes a hook-and-loop fastening system that attaches directly to the inner edge of the softbox face. Press firmly around the entire perimeter to ensure the grid is flush and the fabric is evenly distributed to prevent drooping.

Compatibility is exclusive to the Elinchrom Rotalux 35x100cm strip softbox. Do not attempt to force it onto other brands or different sized modifiers. For care, store the grid rolled or laid flat; folding it excessively can crease the material and affect the precision of the light beam. Keep away from excessive moisture and dust; if cleaning is necessary, use a dry, soft brush to gently remove debris.
