FAQs

What is included with the Elinchrom Rotalux Rectabox 90x110cm?

The Rotalux Rectabox includes the softbox frame rods, the black/silver reversible cover, an internal diffuser, an external diffuser, and a carrying bag. The speedring is sold separately.

Do I need a special adapter for my flash?

Yes, you need to purchase a specific Elinchrom Rotalux speedring that is compatible with your particular flash brand and model. These are available separately.

How difficult is it to set up?

The Rotalux system is designed for relatively easy setup. It involves inserting rods into pockets and attaching a speedring. While it takes a few minutes, it's generally straightforward once you've done it once.

Can I use this for outdoor shoots?

Yes, its foldable design makes it suitable for location shoots. However, it is a large modifier and may be susceptible to wind, so it requires careful placement and possibly sandbags for stability.

What kind of light does this softbox produce?

It produces a very soft, diffused, and even light. The large size and internal diffuser work together to wrap light around the subject, minimizing harsh shadows.

Are there accessories available for more light control?

Yes, optional accessories include a deflector set to modify light characteristics and Lighttools Grids to control light spill and create a more focused beam.

What are the dimensions of the softbox?

The softbox measures 900mm high by 1100mm wide, with a depth of 420mm.

Troubleshooting

Softbox does not attach securely to the speedring.

Verify that you are using the correct Rotalux speedring for your light. Ensure all locking mechanisms on both the speedring and the softbox mount are properly engaged.

Uneven light distribution.

Check that the rods are fully inserted and that the fabric is pulled taut. Ensure the internal diffuser is correctly positioned.

Flimsy feel during setup.

Confirm that all four rods are securely locked into place. The heavy-duty locking mechanism with the wing nut should provide a firm hold.

Difficulty folding down for storage.

Gently bend the rods in sequence to encourage the softbox to collapse. Ensure no components are obstructing the folding process. Refer to setup instructions if needed.
