[Nylon] I waited along time to buy this octa but the light from this unit is so soft and clean. It is easy to setup and the build quality is really solid. The price is my only complaint but the quality of light is on another level. I highly recommend A++++

[49 x 8.5 x 8.5"] Item arrived on time and was neatly packed. BRILLIANT!

[Yes, Removable] I was hesitant about this light box, but its performance has convinced me otherwise. Before, I would use 2x 4ft normal octaboxes or large umbrellas to get a similar look and also another large box for fill to get the same results. With the Indirect Octa, I can get the same look with only 1 modifier, this light is so even edge to edge that it acts as the key and the fill for some strange reason, the way the light rakes across the subject is so natural and the transition from highlight to shadow is incredible. It is even without looking boring or flat. It almost gives off a look of a beauty dish with a large fill in behind, depending on how you use it. The fabric inside is much nicer than the standard Elinchrom Rotalux and the output is just...dang, different, is the only way that I can put it. I've used it on location, in the studio and it just throws a really beautiful even, and most importantly, not boring across into any situation. With the diffuser on, it looks like a punchy north facing window. With the diffuser off, it looks like even sunlight, almost like a gigantic parabolic. I've used it with Profoto B1s, B10s, D1's with and without the dome diffuser and have gotten great results. It is my go to for simple and effective fashion images that model agencies want. Get this modifier, it will pay for itself in a couple shoots!


It is not as big as you would think. It's big for sure, diameter wise, but not that deep and fits into large and small spaces very well. The best thing is that it can be very close to your subject and not throw hotspots so even in a small studio, this can be used. With a large studio and with enough distance from the background, you can get that classic head to even light with dark background that you see in many fashion magazines. At most you would need a fill board to make it perfect.

[Silver] This is my first of two Elinchrom Litemotivs I plan on purchasing. The truth is that this modifier is the ultimate softbox in the studio. It takes a little doing in getting it assembled on its companion mount but once together you want to immediately play with it!

[13.6 lb] I live in Malaysia and I ordered this item from B&H after much research. It was very very hard to combine all pieces together at first and felt that this would need assistance to setup together. Mine is just 120cm, but it’s heavy enough and recommend to be used in studio, instead outdoor. This modifier makes my entry level Elinchrom D-Lite 4 lt at different level with super rich & soften light. Build quality as tank! Thanks to B&H!!! For awesome delivery service with the product!

[Silver] Beautiful lighting that wraps around your subject. Great for fills as well. Soft when diffused and crisp with inner baffle alone.

[13.6 lb] Such a great lighting tool, really love the quality of the light and use it for all my fashion ecomm work. Provides a crisp and even light with soft fall off. It's huge at 75 so not for everyone or every situation. With it's size it does need a lot of power, I'm looking to start using a Profoto twin tube with this as it'll give me the power I need and help cut my recycle times (I usually shoot at f/18-22). The only down side, but easily resolved, is the horribly designed stand mount. A lighting tool of this size requires a much more stout mount. The one included is toy like with all it's plastic parts and will not last. I strongly urge everyone to replace it with a hollywood grip head immediately! I've attached images of the upgrade, take 2 min to swap them out. I recently replaced a broken rod, Elinchrom/MAC Group was super helpful and sent the rod for a DIY fix. I could have sent it in for repair but opted for the DIY at a fraction of the cost ($22 w/shipping). The replacement took about 20-30min and was easy just requiring a phillips head screw driver and steady hand (several small pieces inside).

[Yes] Excellent workmanship great service from B&H

[Silver] I recently purchased one of these and the light coming from this modifier is absolutely on another level. I highly recommend this Elinchrom product. The build quality is great. My only con is the price. A++++

[49 x 8.5 x 8.5"] Wow, what amazing light this softbox produces! The indirect nature of the light is something I've never experienced before.

I was expecting the grip head attached to this softbox to be cheap and made of plastic, like I've heard, but to my surprise, Elinchrom has listened to the consumers and upgraded the grip head to an all-metal, beefy unit, which looks to be the grip head made by Impact.

Out of a dozen softboxes I have, this is overall my favorite softbox that I have ever owned, and I also have a Chimera OctaPlus 57, which is a 5' octabox that converts to 7' with a kit that adds length to the rods and an extension of fabric. That unit takes 10 minutes to setup and is not indirect like the Elinchrom. This thing opens up like an umbrella and is ready to go. This is perfect for me as I shoot on location so am constantly setting and breaking down lights.
