Elinchrom Litemotiv Parabolic 120cm Overview

The 47.2" Litemotiv Parabolic Softbox from Elinchrom is a logical extension of their softbox range. This 16-sided softbox is ideal for portraiture, and its form factor renders pleasing circular catchlights in your subject's eyes. The Litemotiv's large surface area wraps your subject in soft light.

Achieve optimal results using any combination of the unit's removable front and inner diffusers in addition to optional deflectors that reduce hotspots. The Litemotiv requires separate purchase of a heavy-duty bracket for use. The Elinchrom bracket enables precise and easy positioning for all Elinchrom heads. Profoto, Bowens, and Broncolor Pulso brackets are also available.

16 Rods
The 16 anodized rods are heat resistant and ideal for use with high-temperature light sources. Made with flexible aluminum, they follow the parabolic shape of the Litemotiv, and the color coding of the bracket and rods enable trouble-free assembly. This studio softbox features a removable rear cover for simple assembly.
More Light
The fabric is unique and offers 30% more light output than the standard Rotalux fabric. It offers the same distinctive Elinchrom look with the addition of heat resistance for use with hot lights up to 650W.
Optional Support Bracket
An support optional bracket takes stress off the attached flash head while providing easy positioning. Elinchrom, Bowens S-Mount, Broncolor Pulso, and Profoto brackets are available separately.
Double Diffusion
The double diffusion panels were designed to produce very soft light. The inner diffuser has a central circular panel to prevent hotspots and offer the most homogenous light possible. Remove both diffusers to produce a very crisp and contrasting light, similar to a beauty dish but larger.
Optional Deflectors
Elinchrom compacts and flash heads offer a unique, centered fitting for umbrellas and deflectors. This gives photographers the freedom to easily modify the hardness or softness of the lights. Deflectors can eliminate, soften, or tone sharp shadow edges and hotspots.

Elinchrom Litemotiv Parabolic 120cm Reviews

Amazing!

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!

Love it!

Love the wrap around lighting this modifier creates, the build quality is great, overall just a great modifier to have. If you are looking to use this with an Alienbees/Einstein strobe, you can buy the Westcott Zeppelin Balcar bracket and it works with this modifier.

Can I use Phottix PH82591Elinchrom speedring for this?
Asked by: Luka
Yes, the Phottix Speed Ring for Bowens Flash Heads BH #PH82590 is compatible with the Elinchrom Litemotiv 120cm Parabolic Softbox. BH #ELLM120. However it is highly recommended that the Elinchrom Speed Ring be used for this large Softbox to ensure proper control and balance of the studio strobe and Softbox. BH #ELLMBB
