Product Information

Full details

The Elinchrom Rotagrid Indirect Octa 150cm is designed for professional photographers and videographers who use the 150cm Indirect Rotalux softbox and require precision light control. Its primary benefit is the ability to drastically reduce light spill and narrow the beam to 30 degrees, creating high-contrast lighting with defined shadows. However, users should note that adding a grid reduces the overall light output of the softbox, necessitating minor adjustments to flash power or camera exposure settings.

FAQs

Will this fit a standard 150cm Octa softbox?

No, this is specifically designed for the Indirect Rotalux 150cm softbox and may not fit the standard Rotalux version correctly.

How much light intensity do I lose with this grid?

You can typically expect a loss of roughly one stop of light when using the 30-degree grid.

Can I fold the grid for travel?

Yes, the grid is made of flexible materials designed to be folded or rolled, making it easy to store in a standard softbox carrying bag.

Does the grid affect the quality of light?

The grid makes the light more directional and adds contrast; while the light remains soft, it loses the 'wrap' quality associated with an ungridded softbox.

How do I clean the grid?

Gently wipe the surface with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use water or liquid cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Grid edges are sagging or leaking light

Ensure all hook-and-loop fasteners are securely attached and that the grid is pulled taut across the face of the softbox.

Exposure is too dark after attaching the grid

The grid absorbs light; increase your flash power or open your aperture by approximately one stop to compensate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly tighter control over light beam spread
  • Creates professional, high-contrast lighting effects
  • Minimalist design that folds easily for travel
  • High-quality construction built for professional longevity

Cons

  • Reduces total light output intensity
  • Requires specific Rotalux Indirect 150cm compatibility
  • Reduces the effective soft light quality by narrowing the beam

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Rotagrid is designed for quick attachment to the face of the Elinchrom 150cm Indirect Rotalux softbox. To install, align the hook-and-loop fasteners along the perimeter of the softbox face. Ensure the grid is seated flat and even to prevent light leaks around the edges.

Compatibility is strictly limited to the Elinchrom 150cm Indirect Rotalux series. To ensure longevity, fold the grid according to its natural creases when not in use and store it in a cool, dry environment. Avoid bending the internal structure of the honeycomb cells to prevent permanent deformity.
