Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox 175cm

Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox 175 cm

The Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox 175 cm is known for its huge surface area and superior construction. This "giant Octa" produces an extremely powerful wraparound light, making it a favorite among fashion, group and advertising photographers. Its size is so impressive that many photographers use it as their sole light source to achieve subtle lighting and open, soft shadows.

The octagonal shape of the Octabox creates natural, circular reflections (catchlights) in the subject's eyes, reminiscent of a large window or the sun. The silver interior maximizes light output, and the included removable inner and outer diffusers allow for precise adjustment of light softness and contrast to suit the shooting situation.

Main advantages and features:

• Massive light source: 175 cm diameter ensures extremely soft shadows and even light for even large objects or group photos.
• Professional finish: Grey rip-stitched edges and high-quality reflective fabrics ensure long life and neutral color reproduction.
• Adjustable contrast: Two separate diffusion layers provide flexibility to shape the character of the light.
• Rotalux quick assembly: Spring-loaded attachment points make setting up even such a large light shaper surprisingly easy (requires Speed Ring adapter).
• Easy to carry: Despite its large size, the Octabox packs into the included carrying case for storage and transport.

Accessories and management:

You can further fine-tune the light with Elinchrome accessories. Optional deflectors eliminate hot spots in the center. Hooded diffusers and fabric honeycomb grids are also available, allowing you to narrow the light beam and precisely control the stray light even on large sets.

Compatibility: Elinchrom flash heads (requires Rotalux Speed Ring). Adapters for other flash brands also available.

The package includes: Rotalux Octabox 175 cm frame, silver inner fabric, inner and outer diffusers, and a carrying bag.
