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 optional sets of deflectors – gold, silver, frosted and translucent that enable the softness / hardness and colour 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.
