Product Information

Full details

The Elinchrom Rotagrid Strip 30 Degree is an essential optical accessory for professional photographers and videographers using the 50x130cm Rotalux softbox who need precise light control. It serves to significantly narrow the light beam, allowing for better subject separation and reduced light spill, though it requires careful alignment during installation to ensure even coverage across the softbox face.

FAQs

Can I use this grid on other Rotalux softboxes?

No, this specific grid is designed solely for the 50x130cm Rotalux strip softbox. Using it on other sizes will result in a poor fit.

Does this grid fit non-Elinchrom softboxes?

The Rotagrid is manufactured specifically for the Elinchrom Rotalux ecosystem and may not be compatible with other brands.

Does the grid affect the color temperature of my light?

No, the high-quality fabric used for the grid is color-neutral and will not shift the Kelvin rating of your strobe.

How do I store the grid to prevent damage?

It is best to store the grid flat or rolled loosely. Avoid sharp bends that could permanently kink the structure.

Will this grid make my light softer?

No, grids are designed to make light more directional and controlled, which often increases contrast rather than softening the output.

Troubleshooting

Grid appears saggy after installation

Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are aligned and pressed firmly against the edge of the softbox to maintain tension.

Light spill is still reaching the background

Check the positioning of the softbox; if it is too close to the subject, the grid will be less effective at isolating the light.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces unwanted light spill
  • Provides high-precision control over light direction
  • Rugged build quality for heavy studio use
  • Lightweight and easy to pack

Cons

  • Reduces total light output slightly
  • Must be matched to the specific 50x130cm softbox model
  • Requires careful storage to prevent grid fabric deformation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This grid is designed exclusively for the Elinchrom 50x130cm Rotalux strip softbox. To set it up, align the grid fasteners with the interior hook-and-loop lining of the softbox. Press firmly around the perimeter to ensure a secure, taut fit. To maintain the integrity of the grid, avoid folding it tightly during transport; instead, roll it loosely or store it flat in a gear case. If dust accumulates on the fabric, gently wipe it with a dry, lint-free cloth or use a soft-bristled brush.
