Product Information
Full details
The Elinchrom Rotalux Deep Octabox 70cm is a professional-grade light modifier designed for portrait, beauty, and fashion photographers who require precise control over light quality and spread. Its deep profile delivers a crisp, focused output that can be transformed into a softer light source using the included internal and external diffusers, though photographers should be aware that the necessary speedring is not included and must be purchased separately.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the speedring included?
No, the speedring is a separate component and must be purchased specifically for your flash brand.
Can I use this with other brands of lights?
Yes, as long as you purchase the correct Elinchrom-compatible speedring adapter for your specific light fixture.
What is the purpose of the translucent deflector?
The deflector mounts to the central shaft to prevent a central hotspot and helps create a more even, soft light quality.
Is this softbox suitable for outdoor location shoots?
Yes, its lightweight, foldable design makes it highly portable for travel and location photography.
How do I clean the diffusing fabric?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, then allow the fabric to air dry completely before storing.
Does this come with a grid?
No, grids are optional accessories that must be purchased separately to further control light spill.
Troubleshooting
Softbox shape appears uneven when set up
Check that all four rods are fully seated in the hub and the outer fabric pockets; redistribute tension by loosening the locking wing nut and re-tightening.
Light is spilling too much in the room
Ensure the internal diffuser is properly mounted and consider adding an optional hooded diffuser or grid to restrict the light beam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Rotalux is straightforward: insert the four support rods into the designated pockets of the black/silver cover and lock the central hub into place using the heavy-duty locking mechanism. Once the frame is tensioned, the internal and external diffusers can be attached via the hook-and-loop fasteners. Always ensure the speedring (sold separately) is compatible with your specific flash brand before attempting assembly. To maintain the life of your equipment, keep the reflecting interior clean and dry. Store the unit in the provided carrying bag when not in use to prevent bending the rods or puncturing the fabric.
