FAQs
Can I use these filters with any size reflector?
No, these filters are specifically designed for 21cm reflectors and must be used with the Elinchrom 21cm Accessory Holder 26034.
Which colours are the most susceptible to heat?
The green, blue, and purple filters absorb heat more rapidly than others and require extra care with modelling lamp intensity.
What material are the filters made from?
They are manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant polyester.
Does the set include the holder required for mounting?
No, the 21cm Accessory Holder 26034 is a separate item and is required to use these filters.
Can these filters be used for video lighting?
They are intended for flash/strobe photography. Using them with continuous high-wattage video lights is not recommended as it may exceed the heat threshold of the material.
Troubleshooting
Filter showing signs of warping or melting
The modelling lamp is set too high. Reduce the modelling lamp power immediately and keep the light source at a further distance from the filter.
Filter does not fit the light source securely
Ensure you are using the mandatory 21cm Accessory Holder 26034. The filters are not designed to be mounted directly to the flash head without this specific holder.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the set, ensure you have the Elinchrom 21cm Accessory Holder (26034). Simply slot the chosen filter into the holder and attach it to your compatible 21cm reflector.
Care Instructions:
- Always store filters in a clean, dry place to prevent scratches.
- Inspect filters for heat-related warping or signs of degradation before each use.
- When finished, allow the filters to cool completely before removing them from the holder to avoid accidental contact with hot lamp components.
- Do not touch the filter surface with bare fingers to avoid transferring skin oils, which can cause hot spots during use.
