Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is this compatible with the Elinchrom D-lite RX 4? Will I need an adaptor?STEVEN D : The Dlite RX 4 has the standard interface to accept all the Elinchrom accessories, including the Deep Octa. The only restriction, really, is the size and weight of the modifier. It can't support some of the larger, heavier accessories on the front mount. You should be fine with the smaller deep octa or even the larger one.
Shopper : Will this Deep Octa fit the Ranger Rx Quadra heads? and does it come with the ring that will make it fit the Ranger Rx Quadra head or do I have to buy the ring separately? HaroonRICH P : It won't fit unless you have the adapter. The Quadra kit I purchased came with the adapter so I didn't need to purchase one when I bought this.CHARLES K : This will not fit the quadra without the adaptor ring. The ring does not come with this softbox.JAMES W : You have to have the $95 adaptor to fit this on your Quadra head.COLLEEN M : You need to buy the $96 adaptor and THEN the 27inch Rotalux softbox (and all other Elinchrom modifiers) will work with the QUADRA. I'm selling an entire setup with two 27" softboxes AND two of the pro adaptors for a really great price on Fred Miranda. I would consider splitting up. fredmirandaDOTcom/forum/topic/1160345/0#11068377 infoAtgregbrettDOTcomAllen C : You'd have to buy the ring separately. I personally am using it on my BX-RI's

Awesome light modifier

This is a great light modifier. I just wish there was a matching grid that you can add to control light spill.

Excellent quality

It's very versatile. Use it with the inside and outside baffles on or without and you can also place the center dish to act as a beauty dish yet very portable.

Durable, dependable EL product

Just what I needed for soft localized light on location. This deep octa takes up very little space with my on location lighting gear. It is durable and can be easily jelled to match up with existing ambient light for an even WB.

It's very versatile. Use it with the inside and outside baffles on or without and you can also place the center dish to act as a beauty dish yet very portable.

The DEEP OCTA 70 cm is an excellent crispy and direct light when used without the internal and external diffusers. Perfect for Beauty and Fashion. The narrow shaped Deep Octa reduces the spread of light and offers sharper shadows compared to standard sized octagonal softboxes. The ideal on location "Must Have" softbox for the Ranger Battery System.

The easy mounting Rotalux system is probably the most widely copied of all Softbox systems. However, it is easier to copy a design than a quality and they remain the best units in their class. What continues to make the Elinchrom units unique are the sets of deflectors - gold, silver and translucent that enable the softness / hardness and color to be modified; fitting centrally over the flashtube at your chosen distance.

Folding down like an umbrella, they are easily transported, or just kept clean in their included carrying bag. Rotalux Speedring with improved mechanics and extremely light weight, only 263 g. Improved finish of the Rotalux reflector tissue with grey piping. Better light efficiency.
