Product Information
Full details
The Elinchrom Rotalux Go Adapter is designed for mobile photographers and videographers who utilize Elinchrom Q-Mount lighting systems and require a reliable, lightweight solution for attaching Rotalux Go series softboxes and octaboxes. Its primary benefit is the seamless integration of professional light modifiers with portable setups, significantly reducing bulk during travel. A notable caveat is that this adapter is specifically engineered for the Q-Mount system and is not compatible with standard Elinchrom bayonet mount lights without additional modification or external adapters.

FAQs
Can I use this with Bowens mount softboxes?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for the Elinchrom Rotalux Go series.
What is the weight of the adapter?
The adapter weighs exactly 190g.
Does this adapter support large softboxes?
It is optimized for the Rotalux Go series; we recommend staying within the weight limits of your specific Q-Mount light.
Is it compatible with Elinchrom Pro strobes?
No, it is designed for the Q-Mount system, not the standard Elinchrom bayonet mount used on Pro strobes.
How do I maintain the locking mechanism?
Keep the mount clean and free of dust, and avoid forcing the rotation if you feel resistance.
Troubleshooting
Adapter will not lock onto the light
Check for debris or grit in the Q-Mount socket and ensure the light and adapter are perfectly aligned before twisting.
Softbox feels loose after attachment
Verify that the softbox is fully seated on the ring and that the quick-lock lever is in the closed position.
Pros and Cons

- Extremely lightweight at 190g
- Seamless integration with Rotalux Go softboxes
- Robust build quality for reliable performance
- Quick-locking mechanism for rapid setup changes
Cons
- Limited to Q-Mount compatible lights only
- Not compatible with full-sized Elinchrom bayonet modifiers

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, align the adapter with the front face of your Q-Mount light and rotate clockwise until the locking mechanism clicks securely into place. Once attached, slide your Rotalux Go softbox onto the modifier ring.
Compatibility: This unit is exclusively designed for Elinchrom Q-Mount lighting systems. It is not compatible with standard Elinchrom OCF, Profoto, or Bowens S-mount fixtures.
Care: Keep the mounting teeth free of sand, dust, and debris. Clean with a dry, soft cloth after location shoots. If the locking mechanism becomes stiff, ensure the light and adapter are free of debris rather than applying lubricants, which may attract more dust.
