This is an Elinchrom Hooded Diffuser for the Rotalux Deepthroat Octabank 39" Softbox. Its extended black lip helps control light scatter, and helps prevent lens flare when the softbox is aimed towards your camera.

Comments about Elinchrom Hooded Diffuser for Rotalux Deepthroat Octabank 39" Softbox:
The hood works very well. I could only give if 3 stars because it is not easy to assemble. First you assemble the octabox minus the hood. Then you must take out every single rod one at a time and insert it through a channel on the hood and reinstall each rod again! Not a fast design.

Comments about Elinchrom Hooded Diffuser for Rotalux Deepthroat Octabank 39" Softbox:
This modifier works pretty well however it is by far the most difficult light modifier that I have ever used. Arrive early, otherwise your client will be waiting. Very frustrating to set this up if you are in a hurry. This along with the 39" deep octa will set you back in time and money. For the money neither the hooded diffuser or the deept throat octa is worth it. Together they will run you almost $400. Is's a shame because I really wanted to love this modifier and the deep throat octa. The 53" octa is much easier to work with.

Comments about Elinchrom Hooded Diffuser for Rotalux Deepthroat Octabank 39" Softbox:
Used to keep light spill to a minimum in a small studio space. Very well made. What I don't like about is it reduces the size of the box and it's hard to use with the deflectors.
