FAQs

Do I need a speedring?

Yes, a compatible Rotalux speedring is required to mount the softbox to your lighting equipment. This is sold separately.

What is the purpose of the inner and outer diffusers?

The outer diffuser provides the primary softening, while the inner diffuser further refines the light for maximum evenness and reduces hot spots from the flash tube.

Can I use this softbox with strobes from other brands?

Yes, provided you have the correct Rotalux speedring adapter for your specific strobe brand (e.g., Profoto, Bowens).

How do I clean the softbox fabric?

Gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the diffusion material.

What are the dimensions of the softbox?

The softbox dimensions are 60cm x 80cm (approximately 23.6 x 31.5 inches).

Is this softbox suitable for location shooting?

Yes, the Rotalux system is designed for quick setup and takedown, and it folds down compactly into its included carrying bag, making it very portable for location work.

Can I control the hardness of the light?

The softness can be adjusted by using both diffusers, only the outer diffuser, or by adding optional accessories like the translucent deflector or grids.

Troubleshooting

Softbox does not hold its shape.

Ensure all rods are fully extended and securely locked into place. Check that the speedring is firmly attached and that the softbox fabric is properly aligned.

Light appears uneven.

Verify that the inner and outer diffusers are correctly attached and smoothed out. Ensure the light source is centered within the softbox.

Difficulty attaching speedring.

Confirm you have the correct Rotalux speedring for your specific light modifier mount. Ensure no obstructions are present on either the speedring or the softbox mount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Rotalux system is designed for speed. Unfold the softbox frame until the rods lock into place. Attach the speedring (sold separately) to your Elinchrom light or compatible mount. Slide the softbox onto the speedring. Secure the outer diffuser, followed by the inner diffuser if desired, using the integrated Velcro fastenings. Ensure all connections are firm before use.

Compatibility: This softbox requires a compatible Elinchrom Rotalux speedring. Speedrings are available for various flash brands including Elinchrom, Profoto, Broncolor, Bowens, Hensel, Balcar/Alien-Bee, Comet, and Photona. Ensure you select the correct speedring for your specific light modifier system.

Care: Clean the fabric surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the softbox in its included carrying bag when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Ensure the softbox is completely dry before storing.
