Product Information

Full details

The Elinchrom Honeycomb Grid for 18cm reflectors is designed for photographers seeking to precisely control light spill and create a more focused beam. Its primary benefit is the enhancement of directional light, reducing unwanted reflections and background illumination. A caveat to consider is its specific compatibility with 18cm (7 inch) reflectors. This accessory helps photographers achieve a more dramatic or selective lighting effect, ideal for portraiture, product photography, and architectural details.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of a honeycomb grid?

A honeycomb grid narrows the beam of light from a reflector, reducing light spill and allowing for more precise control over where light falls in your scene.

Will this grid work with any 7-inch reflector?

No, this grid is specifically designed for Elinchrom 18cm (7 inch) reflectors. Compatibility with other brands or reflector types is not guaranteed.

How does the 12° angle affect the light?

The 12° angle creates a very focused, tight beam of light, resulting in a more dramatic contrast and spotlight effect compared to wider-angle grids.

Does the grid reduce the intensity of the light?

Yes, like all modifiers, the honeycomb grid will slightly reduce the overall light output. This is a trade-off for the increased control it provides.

Can I use this grid outdoors?

Yes, the grid can be used outdoors, but care should be taken to protect it from harsh weather conditions and potential damage.

How should I store the honeycomb grid?

Store the grid in a clean, dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a protective pouch to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.

Troubleshooting

Grid does not fit securely

Verify that you are using an Elinchrom 18cm (7 inch) reflector. Ensure no debris is obstructing the attachment points on both the grid and the reflector.

Light pattern is uneven

Check that the grid is centered correctly on the reflector and that the reflector itself is properly mounted on the light source. Ensure the light source is not at an extreme angle to the reflector.

Grid feels loose after attachment

Inspect the mounting clips or locking mechanism on both the grid and reflector for any signs of damage. If damaged, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The honeycomb grid is designed to securely fit onto Elinchrom's 18cm (7 inch) standard reflectors. Align the grid with the reflector's edges and gently push until it clicks or locks into place, depending on the specific design.

Compatibility: This grid is exclusively compatible with Elinchrom reflectors that measure 18cm (7 inches) in diameter. Ensure your reflector is an 18cm model before attempting to attach the grid.

Care: To clean the grid, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the grid is completely dry before storing or reattaching it to your reflector. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
