Full details

FAQs
Is this speedring compatible with Bowens mount lights?
This specific Elinchrom Rotalux Speedring is designed for Elinchrom heads. While Elinchrom offers a variant for Bowens/Godox mounts, this guide pertains to the Elinchrom-specific version. Please check product details carefully for the correct mount.
How many Rotalux softboxes can I use with this speedring?
This speedring is compatible with all 11 shapes and sizes of Elinchrom Rotalux softboxes.
Can I use this speedring with non-Rotalux Elinchrom softboxes?
No, this speedring is specifically designed for the Elinchrom Rotalux series of softboxes.
What does 'color-coded sockets' mean?
The sockets on the speedring are colored to help you quickly identify which type of softbox rod goes where: blue for square, red for strip, and all sockets are usable for octagonal softboxes.
Is assembly difficult, especially for larger softboxes?
The speedring is designed for easy assembly. The color-coding and secure locking mechanism simplify the process, even for the largest Rotalux softboxes.
What material is the speedring made of?
The speedring is constructed from durable stainless steel for longevity and rugged use.
Troubleshooting
Speedring won't lock onto the Elinchrom light head.
Ensure the locking mechanism on the speedring is fully disengaged before attempting to mount. Check that there is no debris obstructing the mount on either the speedring or the light head.
Softbox rods do not fit securely into the speedring sockets.
Verify you are using the correct color-coded socket for your softbox shape (blue for square, red for strip, all for octagonal). Ensure the rod ends are clean and not bent, and that they are fully inserted into the socket.
Slow setup process.
Familiarize yourself with the color-coding system for each softbox type. Ensure the speedring and softbox rods are not stiff; a little lubrication (if recommended by softbox manufacturer) might help, but avoid over-lubrication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the Rotalux Speedring to your Elinchrom light, align the speedring with the front of your Elinchrom flash head or strobe. Secure it by turning the speedring until it locks into place. For softbox attachment, identify the correct color-coded socket on the speedring (blue for square, red for strip, all for octagonal) and connect the corresponding rods of your Rotalux softbox.
Compatibility: This speedring is exclusively designed for use with Elinchrom Rotalux softboxes and Elinchrom brand flash heads and monolights. It is not directly compatible with softboxes from other brands or with light sources that do not use the Elinchrom mount.
Care: Clean the speedring with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion. Regularly check that all mounting points are clean and free of debris to ensure a smooth connection.
