Rotalux Softbox User Manual
Introduction
Dear Photographer
Thank you for buying the ELINCHROM Rotalux Softbox. All Elinchrom
products are manufactured using the most advanced technology.
Carefully selected components are used to ensure the highest quality
and the equipment is submitted to many tests both during and after
manufacture. We trust that it will give you many years of reliable
service.
Please read the instructions carefully, before use, for your safety
and to obtain maximum benefit from many features.
Your Elinchrom-Team
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.
